cAuTion: 21. This generator is not
intended to power sensitive electronic
equipment* without the addition of an
appropriate line conditioner and surge
protector (both not included). Sensitive
electronic equipment should be operated
on approved inverter type generators or
pure sine wave generators.
If the plugged in product operates
abnormally or unusually slow,
immediately stop using the generator
as a power source. Always read and
adhere to the instruction manual of the
product to be powered, to make sure that
it can be safely and efficiently powered
by a portable generator.
note: When using a generator to
provide home standby electricity, a
transfer switch (sold separately) is
needed to prevent back feeding power
into the utility line.
Connections for standby power to a
building electrical system must be made
by a qualified electrician. The connection
must isolate the generator power from
utility power, and must comply with all
applicable laws and electrical codes.
WARning: Improper connections to
a building electrical system can allow
electrical current from the generator
to backfeed into the utility lines. Such
backfeed may electrocute utility company
workers or others who contact the
lines during a power outage, and the
generator may explode, burn, or cause
fires when utility power is restored.
Consult the utility company or a qualified
electrician.
*sensitive electronic equipment
includes, but is not limited to, audio/
video equipment, some television
sets, computers, and printers.
