General Precautions (cont’d)
Installation
Ensure installation meets all applicable safety, and local and national
electrical codes. The installation performed by a qualified, licensed
electrician and building contractor.
All electrical work, including the earth-ground connection, should be
completed by a licensed electrician.
All separate fuel storage or generator supply facility must be built or
installed in full compliance with all relevant local, state, and federal
regulations.
It is recommended to use the generator only in well ventilated outdoor
areas. The running gasoline engine will generate carbon monoxide, a
colorless, odorless gas that, if inhaled, can cause serious injury or
death.
If the generator is installed outdoors, it must be weatherproofed and
should be soundproofed. It should not be run outdoors without
protection to the generator and wiring conduit.
The generator is very heavy. Two or more people should assist
when moving or lifting this product without using the wheels. Never don’t lift
the Generator using the engine or alternator lifting lugs. Connect lifting
equipment to the frame of the generator.
Before lifting the generator, ensure the lift rigging and supporting
structure are in good condition, and are rated to lift such a load.
Keep all personnel away from the suspended generator during
relocating.
The supporting floor/ground surface should be level, and strong enough
to safely hold the weight of the generator. If the floor/grounded surface is
not level, strong cross members should be placed under the full length
of the generator frame at its low side.
For trailer installation, the generator should be mounted on the center
point of the trailer, over the wheels. The trailer must be capable of
supporting the weight of the generator and all contents (tools, etc.)
Install sound-and weather-proofing only when it is not raining or snowing
to avoid trapping moisture within the generator’s area.
