Operation At High Altitude; Grounding; Connecting To A Building's Electrical System - iPower GXS4300iDC Manual Del Propietário

Operation at High Altitude

At altitudes over 5,000 feet(1524 meters), a
minimum 85 octane gasoline is acceptable. Engine
power and generator output will be reduced
approximately 3.5% for every 1000 feet (305 m) of
elevation above sea level. High altitude may cause
hard starting, increased fuel consumption and spark
plug fouling. To operate at high altitudes A-iPower
can provide a high altitude carburetor main jet. The
alternative main jet and installation instructions can
be obtained by contacting Customer Support.
NOTICE
Operation using an alternative main jet at elevations
lower than the recommended minimum altitude can
damage the engine. For operation at lower elevations,
the standard main jet supplied must be used.
Operating the engine with the wrong main jet may
increase exhaust emissions, fuel consumption and
reduce performance.

Grounding

WARNING
Shock hazard. Failure to properly ground
the generator can result in electric shock.
The national electrical requires your generator must
be connected properly to an appropriate ground to
help prevent electric shock.
The generator has a system ground that connects the
generator frame components to the ground terminals
on the AC output receptacles. There may be Federal
or State regulations, local codes, or ordinances that
apply to the intended use of the generator. Consult a
qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the local
agency having jurisdiction. This generator is not
intended to be used at a construction site or similar
activity as defined by NFPA 70-2020 (NEC) section
590.6.

Connecting to a Building's Electrical System

Connections to your home's electrical system must
use a listed transfer switch installed by a licensed
electrician. The connection must isolate the generator
power from the utility power and comply with all
applicable laws and electrical codes.
