Extension Cords; Parallel Operation - Westinghouse iGen4500 Manual De Usuario

EXTENSION CORDS

Asphyxiation hazard. Extension cords running directly
into the home increase the risk of carbon monoxide
poisoning through any openings. If an extension cord
running directly into your home is used to power indoor
items, there is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning to
people inside the home. Always use battery-powered
carbon monoxide detector (s) that meet current UL 2034
safety standards when running the generator. Regularly
check the detector (s) battery.
Asphyxiation hazard. When operating the generator with
extension cords, make sure the generator is located in
an open, outdoor area, far away from occupied spaces
with exhaust pointed away.
Fire and electrocution hazard. Never use worn or
damaged extension cords. Damaged or overloaded
extension cords could overheat, arc, and burn resulting
in death or serious injury.
Before connecting an AC appliance or power cord to the
generator:
• Use grounded 3-prong extension cords, tools, and
appliances, or double-insulated tools and appliances.
• Make sure the tool or appliance is in good working
order. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a
potential for electric shock.
• Make sure the electrical rating of the tool or appliance
does not exceed the rated power of the generator or the
receptacle being used.

PARALLEL OPERATION

Fire and electrocution hazard. Never connect or
disconnect the parallel cord leads when a generator is
running.
Correct connection of the left and right cables is very
important when the generators are used with a transfer
switch to suppy power to a building. To avoid serious
personal injury or damage to electrical devices, including
the generators, do not try to power an electrical system
in a building without using an approved transfer switch.
Connecting to a generator that is not compatible can
cause a low voltage output that can damage tools and
appliances powered by the generator.
Parallel operation gives you the ability to link to a compatible
Westinghouse Inverter Generator with the included parallel
cord for combined running and peak power output.
A Westinghouse 507PC
separately) is also compatible. This cord can be purchased
from an authorized Westinghouse Generator dealer.
