This product is not equipped with a spark arresting muffler. If the product wiii be used around flammable
materials, or on land covered with materials such as agricultural crops, forest, brush, grass, or other similar items,
then an approved spark attester must be installed and is legally required in the state of California. It is a violation
of California statutes section 130050 and/or sections 4442 and 4443 of the California Public Resources Code,
unbss the engine is equipped with a spark arrestor, as defined in section 4442, and maintained in effective

WHAT COULD HAPPEN

HOW TO PREVENT iT

Back feeding electricity through a
building's electrical system to the
outside utility feed lines could endanger repair persons attempting to
restore service.

Never backfeed electricity through
a structure's electrical system.

Attempting to connect to the incoming utility service could result in
electrocution.

To connect to a structure's electrical system in a safe manner,
always have a Double-Throw
Transfer Switch installed by a
qualified electrician and in compliance with local ordinances. (When
installing a Double-Throw
Transfer Switch, a minimum of
10 gauge wiring must be used.)

Restoration of electrical service while

electrical motor have an "inductive

Inductive load appliances

approximately
2 to 4 times the listed wattage

This initial load
only lasts for a few seconds on start-up but is
very important
when figuring your total

There are basically two ways to obtain electricity from
a generator:
o

Use of extension cords directly from the generator to the appliance, lights, tools, etc.
Use of a double-throw transfer switch installed
directly to the main electrical supply outside of
the house.

Extension

Cord

When using an appliance or tool at a considerable
distance from the generator, a 3-wire extension cord
that has a 3-blade grounding plug and 8-dot receptacle that accepts the tool's plug MUST be used in
order to reduce the risk of electrical shock. A cord of
adequate size must be used. A minimum of 12 gauge
wire size with at least a 20 amp draw can be used.
When amperage exceeds 20 amps a 10 gauge wire
size should be used.

To Main Electrical

Potential hazards exist when a electrical generator is
connected to the main electrical supply coming into
the house, It is at that point that the generator could
feed back into the utility company's system causing
possible electrocution of workers who are repairing
electrical lines, To avoid back feeding of electricity into
utility systems, a double=throw transfer switch
should be installed between the generator and utility
power, This device should be installed by a licensed
electrician and in compliance with all local electrical
codes,
NOTE: When installing a Double-Throw Transfer
Switch, a minimum of 10 gauge wiring must be used.
