AC circuit breaker
The AC circuit breaker will automatically switch OFF if there is a short circuit or a significant overload
of the generator at the receptacle.
If the AC circuit breaker is switched OFF automatically, check that the appliance is working properly
and does not exceed the rated load capacity of the AC circuit before switching the circuit breaker
ON again.
The circuit breaker may be used to switch the generator AC power ON or OFF.

3. GENERAtOR use

Connections to building electrical system
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. A transfer switch,
which isolates generator power from utility power, is available through authorized generator dealer.
warning
Improper connections to a building electrical system can allow electrical current from the generator to back feed into
the utility lines. Such back feed 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.
Ground terminal
The generator ground terminal is connected to the frame of the generator, the metal non-current carrying parts of the generator,
and ground terminals of each receptacle.
Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified electrical inspector or local agency having jurisdiction for local codes or
ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator.
AC applications
Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:
• Make sure that it is in good working order. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a potential for electrical shock.
• If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish or stops suddenly, turn it off immediately. Disconnect the
appliance, and determine whether the problem is the appliance, or if the rated load capacity of the generator has been exceeded.
• Make sure that the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not exceed that of the generator. Never exceed the maximum
power rating of the generator. Power levels between rated and maximum may be used for no more than 30 minutes
NOTICE
Substantial overloading will open the circuit breaker. Exceeding the time limit for maximum power operation or slight-
ly overloading the generator may not switch the circuit breaker OFF, but will shorten the service life of the generator.
