2.5.1 GROUNDING THEGENERATOR W HENUSEDAS A
PORTABLE
This generator has an equipment ground that connects the
generatorframe components to the ground terminals on the AC
output receptacles (see NEC 250.34 (A) for explanation). This
allows the generatorto be used as a portable without grounding
the frame of the generatoras specified in NEC250.34.
Special R equirements
There may be Federalor State Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA)regulations,local codes, or ordinancesthat
apply to the intendeduse of the generator.
Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the
local agency havingjurisdiction:
* In some areas, generators are required to be registered with
local utility companies.
* If the generator is used at a construction site, there may be
additionalregulationswhich must be observed.
2.5.2 CONNECTING THEGENERATOR T O,4BU/LD/NG'S
ELECTRICAL S YSTEM
When connecting directly to a building's electrical system, it is
recommended that a manual transfer switch is used. Connections for
a portable generatorto a building's electrical system must be made by
a qualified electrician and in strict compliance with all national and local
electrical codes and laws.

2.5.4 CONNECTING ELECTR/CAL LOADS
DO NOTconnect 240 Volt loadsto 120 Volt receptacles.
DO NOTconnect 3 phaseloads to the generator.
DO NOTconnect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
* Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after
starting.
* Plug in and turn on the desired 120 or 240 Volt AO, single
phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.
* Add up the ratedwatts (or amps) of all loadsto be connected
at one time. This total should no be greaterthan (a) the rated
wattage/amperage capacity of the generator or (b) circuit
breakerrating of the receptaclesupplyingthe power.See "Don't
