Resumen del manual
Install fuel cap and wait for any spilled fuel to evaporate. 6. If moving generator, turn the vent knob fully clockwise on the fuel gauge to close it. IMPORTANT: The vent knob should be closed whenever you move the generator. Vent Knob As is common with all plastic fuel containers, the fuel tank supplied with this generator may swell or expand due to build-up of fuel vapors when the vent knob is closed.This tank is designed and has been tested to safely withstand pressure-buildup.The 'ballooning' condition is relieved by turning the vent knob fully counterclockwise. 7 OPERATION 8 USING THE GENERATOR System Ground The generator has a system ground that connects the generator frame components to the ground terminals on the AC output receptacles.The system ground is connected to the AC neutral wire (see “Equipment Description”, earlier in this manual). Special Requirements There may be Federal or State Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 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. 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, and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes. Generator Location Generator Clearance Place generator in a well ventilated area, which will allow for removal of deadly exhaust gas. Do not place generator where exhaust gas could accumulate and enter inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied building. Ensure exhaust gas is kept away from any windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings that can allow exhaust gas to collect in a confined area (Figure 5). Prevailing winds and air currents should be taken into consideration when positioning generator. • When using generator for backup power, notify utility company. Use approved transfer equipment to isolate generator from electric utility. • Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in any damp or highly conductive area, such as metal decking or steel work. • DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles. • DO NOT use generator with electrical cords which are worn, frayed, bare or otherwise damaged. • DO NOT operate generator in the rain. • DO NOT handle generator or electrical cords while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet. • DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to operate or service generator. Generator produces powerful voltage. Failure to isolate generator from power utility can result in death or injury to electric utility workers due to backfeed of electrical energy. WARNING • Keep at least 5 ft. (152 cm) clearance on all sides of generator including overhead. Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire. WARNING Figure 5 — Generator Clearance Exhaust Port Typical Generator Shown Using a generator indoors WILL KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poison gas you cannot see or smell. NEVER use in the home or in partly enclosed areas such as garages. ONLY use outdoors and far from open windows, doors, and vents. OPERATION OPERATING THE GENERATOR Starting the Engine Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Follow these start instruction steps in numerical order: 1. Make sure unit is on a level surface. IMPORTANT: Failure to start and operate unit on a level surface will cause the unit not to start or shut down during operation. 2. Turn the vent knob fully counter-clockwise to open it. See Figure 3 on page 7. IMPORTANT: If you don’t open the vent knob, fuel will not flow into the fuel line causing the unit to not start. 3. Turn the fuel valve to the “On” position (Figure 6).The fuel valve handle should be horizontal (pointing straight across) for fuel to flow. Figure 6 — Fuel Shut-off Valve Fuel Valve is shown in the “Off” position Fuel Tank 4. Start the engine according to instructions given in the engine operator’s manual. WARNING Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will pull hand and arm toward engine faster than you can let go. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could result. • When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback. • NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned on. NOTE: If engine starts after 3 pulls but fails to run, or if unit shuts down during operation, make sure unit is on a level surface and check for proper oil level in crankcase. This unit may be equipped with a low oil protection device. See engine operator’s manual. WARNING Running engines produce heat.T...
