Do not attempt to connect or disconnect load connections while standing in water,
or on wet or soggy ground.
5.
Do not touch electrically energized parts of the Generator and interconnecting cables
or conductors with any part of the body, or with any non-insulated
conductive object.
6.
Connect the generator only to a load or electrical system (120 volt and 240 volt) that
is compatible with the electrical characteristics and rated capacities of the Generator.
7.
Before servicing equipment powered by the Generator, disconnect the equipment
from its power input.
8.
Keep all electrical equipment clean and dry. Replace any wiring where the insulation
is cracked, cut, abraded or otherwise degraded. Replace terminals that are worn,
discolored, or corroded. Keep terminals clean and tight.
