DANGER
Using a generator indoors WILL KILL YOU IN
MINUTES. Exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a
poison gas you cannot see or smell.
NEVER use in the home, or in partly enclosed areas
such as garages. ONLY use outdoors and far from
open windows, doors, vents, and in an area that will
not accumulate deadly exhaust gas.
Always disconnect the spark plug wire and place
the wire where they cannot contact the spark plug
to prevent accidental starting when setting up,
transporting, adjusting or making repairs to the
generator.
The generator produces dangerously high voltage that can cause
•
extremely hazardous electrical shock. Avoid contact with bare wires,
terminals, etc. Never permit any unqualified person to operate or
service the generator.
Never handle any kind of electrical cord or device while standing
•
in water, while barefoot or while hands or feet are wet. Dangerous
electrical shock will result.
The National Electric Code requires the frame and external electrically
•
conductive parts of the generator be properly connected to an
approved earth ground. Local electrical codes may also require
proper grounding of the generator. Consult with a local electrician for
grounding requirements in the area.
Do not use worn, bare, frayed or otherwise damaged electrical cord
•
sets with the generator.
Operate generator only on level surfaces and where it will not be
•
exposed to excessive moisture, dirt, dust or corrosive vapors.
Gasoline is highly
•
FLAMMABLE and its vapors are EXPLOSIVE. Do
not permit smoking, open flames, sparks or heat in the vicinity while
handling gasoline. Avoid spilling gasoline on a hot engine. Comply with
all laws regulating storage and handling of gasoline.
Never add fuel while unit is running. Allow unit to
cool entirely before adding fuel.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always allow room for
fuel expansion. If tank is over-filled, fuel can overflow
onto a hot engine and cause FIRE or an EXPLOSION.
Never store generator with fuel in tank where gasoline vapors might
•
reach an open flame, spark or pilot light (as on a furnace, water heater
or clothes dryer). FIRE or EXPLOSION may result.
Generator exhaust gases contain
•
DEADLY carbon monoxide gas. This
dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concentrations, can cause
unconsciousness or even death. Operate this equipment only in the
open air where adequate ventilation is available.
