Never start or stop the unit with electrical loads connected to 
• 
receptacles AND with connected devices turned ON. Start the engine 
and let it stabilize before connecting electrical loads. Disconnect all 
electrical loads before shutting down the generator.
Do not insert objects through unit's cooling slots.

NOTE:
This generator is equipped with a spark arrestor muffler. The spark 
arrestor must be maintained in effective working order by the owner/ 
operator. In the State of California, a spark arrestor is required by law 
(Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other states 
may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands.
Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before installing, operating or 
servicing this equipment. Become familiar with this Owner’s Manual and 
with the unit. The generator can operate safely, efficiently and reliably only 
if it is properly installed, operated and maintained. Many accidents are 
caused by failing to follow simple and fundamental rules or precautions.
The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that 
might involve a hazard. The warnings in this manual, and on tags and 
decals affixed to the unit are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If using a 
procedure, work method or operating technique the manufacturer does 
not specifically recommend, satisfy yourself that it is safe for others. Make 
sure the procedure, work method or operating technique chosen does not 
render the generator unsafe.
DANGER
  Despite the safe design of this generator, operating 
this equipment imprudently, neglecting its 
maintenance or being careless can cause possible 
injury or death. Permit only responsible and capable 
persons to operate or maintain this equipment.
  Potentially lethal voltages are generated by these 
machines. Ensure all steps are taken to render the 
machine safe before attempting to work on the 
generator.
  Parts of the generator are rotating and/or hot during 
operation. Exercise care near running generators.

GENERAL HAZARDS 
Never operate in an enclosed area or indoors.
• 
For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends that the maintenance 
• 
of this equipment is carried out by an Authorized Dealer.
The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which can be 
• 
DEADLY. This dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concentrations, 
can cause unconsciousness or even death. This exhaust system must 
be properly maintained. Do nothing that might render the exhaust 
system unsafe or in noncompliance with any local codes and/or 
standards.
Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive belts, fans, and other 
• 
moving or hot parts. Never remove any drive belt or fan guard while 
the unit is operating.
Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilating air is critical 
• 
to correct generator operation. Do not alter the installation or permit 
even partial blockage of ventilation provisions, as this can seriously 
affect safe operation of the generator. The generator MUST be operated 
outdoors.
When working on this equipment, remain alert at all times. Never work 
• 
on the equipment when physically or mentally fatigued.
Inspect the generator regularly, and contact the nearest Authorized 
• 
Dealer for parts needing repair or replacement.
Before performing any maintenance on the generator, disconnect its 
• 
battery cables to prevent accidental start up. Disconnect the cable 
from the battery post indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (–) first. 
Reconnect that cable last.
Never use the generator or any of its parts as a step. Stepping on the 
• 
unit can stress and break parts, and may result in dangerous operating 
conditions from leaking exhaust gases, fuel leakage, oil leakage, etc.
