17 GENERATOR USE CONNECTIONS TO A BUILDING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Improper connections to a building electrical system can allow electrical current from the generator to backfeed into the utility lines.
18 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS Do not lay the generator on its sid e when moving, storing, or operating it. Oil may leak and dam age the engine or your proper ty. There may be Federal or State Occupational Safety a nd Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, local codes, or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the gene rator.
19 AC APPLICATIONS The total power requirements (VA) of all appliances connected mus t be considered. Appliance and power tool m anufacturers usually list rating information near the model number or serial number. For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power.
20 AC OPERATION OVERLOAD INDICA TOR LIGHT (RED) OUTPUT INDICAT OR LIGHT (GREEN) Most motorized appliances require more than their rated wattage for startup. Plug in the appliance. Before connecting an appliance to the generator, make sur e that it is in good order and that its electrical rating does not exceed that of the generator.
21 AC PARALLEL OPERATION APPLICATIONS Substantial overloading that continuously lights the overload indicator light (red) may damage the generator. Marginal overloading that temporarily lights the overload indicator light (red) may shorten the service life of the generator.
22 Limit operation requiri ng maximum power to 30 m inutes. Maximum power in par allel operation is: For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power. Rated power in parallel operation is: The total power requirements (VA) of all appliances connected mus t be considered.
23 AC PARALLEL OPERATION PARALLEL OPERATION KIT (optional equipment ) Connect the parallel operation kit between the two EU2000i generators following the instructions supplied with the kit. If the generators are overloaded (see page ), or if there is a short circuit in a connected appliance, the overload ind icator lights (red) will go ON.
− ＋− 24 DC OPERATION Connecting the batter y charging cable (optional equipm ent): The battery gives off explosive gases; keep sparks, flames and cigarettes away. Provide adequate ventilation when char ging or using batteries . WARNIN G: Wash hands after handling.
