A mistake around electricity could easily be your last. Even experienced electricians and electrical power installers must be on guard all the time. Non-electricians are at greatest risk of electrocution from contacting overhead lines with aluminum ladders and metal tools.
Handling Electric Power
Remember to call your power company and provide information about the electrical equipment.
Check the volt meter frequency. If voltage falls below 200 volts for 240 volt service or below 100 V for 120 volts service, reduce the load on the generator by turning off some electrical equipment.
Keep the unit clean and in good running order at all times so it will be ready for immediate use. Dust and dirt accumulations on the motor can cause it to overheat when operated.
Lockout all live electric before working on it.
Wear arc flash clothing when the electrical source of power cannot be de-energized.
Always verify electrical is de-energized by testing with an AC voltage detector.
