4. Applications
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. Improper connections to a
building electrical system can allow electrical current from the generator to back feed into the utility lines. Such back feed can
cause injury or may electrocute utility company workers or others who contact the lines during a power outage, and the generator
could explode, burn, or cause fires when utility power is restored.
In order to avoid getting an electric shock, always ground generator from the

4.
Extension wire length limit: 16gauge cord 200feett maximum; 10 gauge cord 330 feet maximum.
• You can use DC power at the same time that you are using AC power.
• Please do not exceed the power or wattage total of DC & AC
• Pay attention to the start-up wattage and running wattage requirements in determining the items to be powered by your
generator. Consult the Wattage Use Chart located on the back page of this manual.
1. How to Use AC Power
1. Start the engine with no electrically powered items plugged into the generator.
2. After unit starts and the green output indicator light (see diagram #56011) illuminates you may know plug in and operate
electrically powered devices.
