Carrier ASPAS1CCA015 Manuale Utente

• All generators covered by this manual produce

dangerous electrical voltages and can cause fatal

electrical shock. Utility power delivers extremely high and

dangerous voltages to the transfer switch as well as the

standby generator. Avoid contact with bare wires,

terminals, connections, etc., on the generator as well as

the transfer switch, if applicable. Ensure all appropriate

covers, guards and barriers are in place before operating

the generator. If work must be done around an operating

unit, stand on an insulated, dry surface to reduce shock

hazard.

• Do not handle any kind of electrical device while standing

in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.

• If people must stand on metal or concrete while installing,

operating, servicing, adjusting or repairing this

equipment, place insulative mats over a dry wooden

platform. Work on the equipment only while standing on

such insulative mats.

• The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires the frame

and external electrically conductive parts of the generator

to be connected to an approved earth ground. This

grounding will help prevent dangerous electrical shock

that might be caused by a ground fault condition in the

generator set or by static electricity. Never disconnect the

ground wire. Local electrical codes also may require

proper grounding of the generator electrical system.

• After installing this home standby electrical system, the

generator may crank and start at any time without

warning. When this occurs, load circuits are transferred

to the STANDBY (generator) power source. To prevent

possible injury if such a start and transfer occur, always

set the generator's Auto/Off/Manual switch to its OFF

position before working on equipment and remove the

7.5A and 15A fuses from the generator control panel.

• In case of accident caused by electric shock,immediately

shut down the source of electrical power. If this is not

possible, attempt to free the victim from the live

conductor. AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE

VICTIM. Use a nonconducting implement, such as a dry

rope or board, to free the victim from the live conductor.

If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid and get

immediate medical help.

• Never wear jewelry when working on this equipment.

Jewelry can conduct electricity resulting in electric shock,

or may get caught in moving components causing injury.

• Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator at all times.

Do NOT use any carbon tetra-chloride type extinguisher.

Its fumes are toxic, and the liquid can deteriorate wiring

insulation. Keep the extinguisher properly charged and

be familiar with its use. Consult the local fire department

for any questions pertaining to fire extinguishers.

• Do not smoke around the generator. Wipe up any fuel or

oil spills immediately. Ensure that no combustible

materials are left in the generator compartment, or on or

near the generator, as FIRE or EXPLOSION may result.

Keep the area surrounding the generator clean and free

from debris.

• Fuels such as natural gas and LP gas are extremely

EXPLOSIVE. Install the fuel supply system according to

applicable fuel-gas codes. Before placing the home

standby electric system into service, fuel system lines

must be properly purged and leak tested according to

applicable code. After installation, inspect the fuel system

periodically for leaks. No leakage is permitted.
