10 2.4.1 SYSTEM GROUND

The generator has a system ground that connects the generator frame components to the ground terminals on the AC output receptacles.

Special Requirements

There may be federal state safety or health administration regulations local codes or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator Please consult a qualified electrician electrical inspector or the local agency having jurisdiction:

- 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 additional regulations which must be observed.

2.4.2 CONNECTING TO A BUILDING’S ELECTRICAL

SYSTEM

Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical system must be made by a qualified electrician The connection must isolate the generator power from utility power or other alternative power sources and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.

Grounding The Generator

Local electrical codes may require proper grounding of the unit (Figure 8) For that purpose connecting a 2.59mm stranded copper wire to the grounding lug and to an earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod (electrode) provides adequate protection against electrical shock However local codes may vary widely

Consult with a local electrician for grounding requirements in the area.

Figure 8 Grounding the Generator

Proper grounding of the generator will help prevent electrical shock in the event of a ground fault condition in the generator or in connected electrical devices Proper grounding also helps dissipate static electricity which often builds up in ungrounded devices.

2.5 DON’T OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR

Overloading a generator in excess of its rated wattage capacity can result in damage to the generator and to connected electrical devices Observe the following to prevent overloading the unit:

- Add up the total wattage of all electrical devices to be connected at one time This total should NOT be greater than the generator's wattage capacity.

• The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light bulbs The rated wattage of tools appliances and motors can usually be found on a data label or decal affixed to the device.

• If the appliance tool or motor does not give wattage multiply volts times ampere rating to determine watts (volts x amps =
watts).

• Some electric motors such as induction types require about three times more watts of power for starting than for running This surge of power lasts only a few seconds when starting such motors Make sure to allow for high starting wattage when selecting electrical devices to connect to the generator:

1 Figure the watts needed to start the largest motor. 2 Add to that figure the running watts of all other connected loads.

2.6 BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR

Prior to operating the generator engine oil and gasoline will need to be added as follows:

2.6.1 ADDING ENGINE OIL

Use no special additives Select the oil's viscosity grade according to the expected operating temperature (also see chart).

- Above 4° C use SAE 30 • Below 4° C and down to 12° C use 10W-30 • Below 12° C use synthetic 5W-30
