SECTION 1   
 
GENERAL INFORMATION 
 
This manual is provided for you so that your 
generator may be properly, safely and effectively 
applied and operated. Please read and understand 
all aspects of this manual before operating your 
generator set. Please also read and understand the 
documentation supplied with this generator 
regarding the engine. Keep this documentation in a 
safe and accessible place so that reference can be 
made as needed. All operators, users and 
subsequent owners of this generator must read and 
understand all aspects of this documentation before 
operation.  
 
SPARK ARRESTING MUFFLER 
Certain States and Jurisdictions require that engine 
driven equipment be fitted with spark arresting mufflers. 
Depending on the generator model, spark arresting 
mufflers may or may not be fitted. If spark arresting 
mufflers are required for your specific local and the 
generator muffler is not spark arresting, contact your 
local dealer for instructions for a retrofit. 
 
EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM  
The exhaust emission control system for this generator 
complies to the standards set forth by the California Air 
Resources Board (CARB) and the Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA). Warranties for the exhaust 
emission system are administered by the respective 
engine manufacturers. Refer to the engine 
documentation for warranty information. 
 
WARNING 
The engine exhaust from this product contains 
chemicals known to the State of California to cause 
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. 
 
 
THIS SYMBOL IS USED THROUGHOUT YOUR 
OWNER
’S MANUAL TO BRING ATTENTION TO 
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO 
FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD ENDANGER YOU 
OR OTHERS AND RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR 
DEATH. READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL SAFETY 
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATION. 
 
DO NOT OPERATE THIS GENERATOR WITHIN AN 
ENCLOSED AREA. THE EXHAUST GASES OF THIS 
GENERATOR EMIT 
“DEADLY” CARBON 
MONOXIDE. EXPOSURE TO CARBON MONOXIDE CAN 
CAUSE CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, HEADACHES, 
NAUSEA, SEVERE SICKNESS OR DEATH. 
 
DANGER: THIS GENERATOR SET PRODUCES 
ELECTRICAL CURRENT. THEREFORE, SAFETY 
GUIDELINES MUST BE FOLLOWED. IMPROPER 
USE OF THIS GENERATOR CAN RESULT IN 
ELECTROCUTION, INJURY OR DEATH. DO NOT OPERATE, 
SERVICE OR REPAIR THIS GENERATOR UNLESS FULLY 
QUALIFIED TO DO SO. 
 
DANGER:  DO NOT OPERATE THIS GENERATOR 
IF THE AMBIENT TEMPATURE EXCEEDS 
104ºF/40ºC. 
 
 
SAFETY RULES 
 
DANGER: This generator set is designed to be 
operated in dry conditions and for outdoor areas 
only. Never operate this generator indoors. 
Never operate this generator in rain, snow, sleet or 
generally wet conditions. Damage to the generator, bodily 
injury, or death could result from electrocution. 
 
DANGER: If this generator is connected to a 
building, home, business, or any other electrical 
circuit normally fed by utility power, steps must 
be taken to insure the generator output and the utility 
power are positively isolated. Failure to isolate the utility 
and generator electrical systems will result in generator 
damage and could result in injury or death to utility 
workers due to the backfeed of electricity. 
 
CAUTION: Do not exceed the rated capacity of 
the generator. The total electrical loads at each 
outlet must be added to determine the total 
electrical load. The total load must not exceed the rated 
capacity of the generator. If the driven apparatus does not 
list wattage, but only amperage, wattage may be 
determined by multiplying amperage times voltage (watts 
= amps X volts). 
 
CAUTION: Do not tamper with the engine-
governed speed. The generator operates at a 
nominal speed of 3600 rpm. Increases in speed 
over the 3600 rpm nominal will increase the chance of 
personal injury due to rotational stresses on the rotating 
members. Operation of the generator at speeds below the 
nominal 3600 rpm could cause damage to the generator 
or driven apparatus due to low voltage output. 
 
CAUTION: Do not modify or misapply your 
generator set. Operation of the generator other 
than intended, could result in generator set 
damage, bodily injury or even death from electrocution. 
 
 
BATTERY SAFETY 
 
WARNING: STORAGE BATTERIES PRODUCE 
AND RELEASE EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS 
WHEN CHARGING. THE SLIGHTEST SPARK, 
FLAME OR BURNING ASH CAN IGNITE THESE 
GASES CAUSING A SERIOUS EXPLOSION THAT 
COULD RESULT IN BLINDNESS OR OTHER SERIOUS 
INJURIES.
