 WARNING  Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas 
during recharging. 
Slightest spark will ignite hydrogen and 
cause explosion, resulting in death or 
serious injury. 
Battery electrolyte fluid contains acid and is extremely caustic. 
Contact with battery contents could cause severe chemical burns. 
A battery presents a risk of electrical shock and high short 
circuit current.
•  DO NOT dispose of battery in a fire. Recycle battery.
•  DO NOT allow any open flame, spark, heat, or lit cigarette during 
and for several minutes after charging a battery.
•  DO NOT open or mutilate the battery.
•  Wear protective goggles, rubber apron, rubber boots and 
rubber gloves.
•  Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
•  Use tools having insulated handles.
 WARNING  Propane and Natural Gas are extremely flammable 
and explosive, which could cause burns, fire or 
explosion resulting in death or serious injury. 
•  Install the fuel supply system according to NFPA 37 and other 
applicable fuel-gas codes.
•  Before placing the generator into service, the fuel system lines 
must be properly purged and leak tested.
•  After the generator is installed, you should inspect the fuel 
system periodically.
•  NO leakage is permitted.
•  DO NOT operate engine if smell of fuel is present or other 
explosive conditions exist.
•  DO NOT smoke around the generator. Wipe up any oil spills 
immediately. Ensure that no combustible materials are left in the 
generator compartment. Keep the area near the generator clean 
and free of debris.
 WARNING  Generator produces hazardous voltage. 
 Failure to properly ground generator could result 
in electrocution. 
Failure to isolate generator from utility power could result 
in death or serious injury to electric utility workers due to 
backfeed of electrical energy.
•  DO NOT touch bare wires or bare receptacles.
•  DO NOT use generator with electrical cords which are worn, 
frayed, bare or otherwise damaged.
•  DO NOT handle generator or electrical cords while standing in 
water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.
•  If you must work around a unit while it is operating, stand on an 
insulated dry surface to reduce the risk of a shock hazard.
•  DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to operate or 
service generator.
•  In case of an accident caused by electrical shock, immediately 
shut down the source of electrical power and contact the local 
authorities. Avoid direct contact with the victim.
•  Despite the safe design of the generator, operating this 
equipment imprudently, neglecting its maintenance or being 
careless could cause possible injury or death.
•  Remain alert at all times while working on this equipment. 
Never work on the equipment when you are physically or 
mentally fatigued.
•  Before performing any maintenance on the generator, disconnect 
the battery cable indicated by a Negative (NEG or ) first. When 
finished, reconnect that cable last.
•  After your system is installed, the generator may crank and start 
without warning any time there is a power failure. To prevent 
possible injury, always set the generator’s system switch to OFF
remove the service disconnect from the disconnect box AND 
remove the 15 Amp fuse BEFORE working on the equipment.
