CONNECTION

q
Before the generator can be connected to a build-
ing’s electrical system, a licensed electrician must
install an isolation (transfer) switch in the build-
ing’s main fuse box. The switch is the connection
point for generator power and allows selection of
w generator or main line power to the building. This
will prevent the generator from charging the main
power line (backfeeding) when the main power
supply has failed or has been turned off for line

repair. Backfeeding can electrocute or injure line
maintenance personnel. Also, generator and build-
ing electrical system damage can occur when nor-
mal operating power returns if unit is used without
an isolation switch.

off power to the protected receptacles if a ground fault
(electrical leak) is detected.

appears to be in good condition, press the reset button
firmly until a click is heard. This will restore power. If
the reset button pops out again, unplug the equipment
immediately. Have the equipment inspected and
repaired by a qualified repairperson before attempting
763-060 to use it again.

TO REDUCE THE CHANCE OF ELECTRICAL
SHOCK:
9 Do not attempt to operate equipment if the
ground fault circuit interrupter reset button
pops out repeatedly during use.
9 Test the ground fault circuit interrupter during
the pre-operation checks according to the
maintenance instructions on page 25.
9 Remember that only receptacles labeled
“Ground Fault Protected” have ground fault
circuit interrupter protection.

start the engine by turning over several times (with
ignition off) to coat the cylinder walls with oil.
2. Pull the recoil starter until you feel compression.
Then stop pulling. (This prevents the cylinder and
valves from rusting).
3. Clean exterior of the generator and apply a rust
inhibitor.
4. Store the generator in a dry, well-ventilated place,
with the cover placed over it.
5. The generator must remain in a vertical position
when stored, carried or operated.
