fuelling process, the tank/container may discharge a spark to the grounded petrol dispenser
nozzle.
The person dispensing the petrol can carry a static electric charge on their body, typically resulting
from contact with their car seat or electronics. The static electricity can discharge a spark between
that person’s hand and either the grounded dispenser nozzle or the fuel tank opening.
GENERATOR SET UP
PLANNING THE POWER LOAD
Plan your power load so that you do not exceed the generator’s rate capacity. To calculate the running
and start wattage requirements for the devices you will be powering, follow the steps on page 18.
SET UP THE PORTABLE POWER SOURCE
This generator is designed to provide up to its maximum power (in watts) of electrical power. When
using the generator as a portable power source, you can plug electric devices and appliances directly
into the generator’s electrical outlets. This generator is equipped with two SAA approved IP66 rate
socket outlets.
Make sure you plug each electrical device/appliance into the correct generator outlet based on the
device’s plug configuration and voltage/amperage rating. NEVER exceed the amperage rating of an
outlet.
Note: You must NOT overload the generator. Overloading may cause serious damage to the generator
and attached electrical devices.
SET UP AS BUILDING BACK UP
To set up as a building backup, you must arrange for a licensed electrician to connect the generator to
your building’s electrical system via the installation of an approved transfer switch. The transfer switch
must be installed in accordance with the building’s electrical code and guidelines supplied by the power
company.
A transfer switch does the following:
A Safely connects the generator to your building’s electrical system by isolating your generator from
your utility company’s power lines.
B Connects your generator to a critical subset of your building’s circuits that are needed for
emergency power needs.
