The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires the 
frame and external electrically conductive parts of 
the generator to be connected to an approved earth 
ground. 
Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator at all 
times. Extinguishers rated "ABC" by the National 
Fire Protection Association are appropriate for use 
on the standby electric system. Keep the 
extinguisher properly charged and be familiar with 
its use. If you have any question pertaining to fire 
extinguishers, consult your local fire department.
Generator/engine noise can cause hearing loss. 
Never operate the generator set without a muffler 
or with a faulty exhaust system. Always wear 
hearing protection when near or operating the 
generator.
DO NOT permit anyone to operate the standby 
electric system without proper instruction.
In case of accidents caused by electric shock, 
immediately shut down the source of electrical 
power.  If this is not possible, attempt to free the 
victim from the live conductor. AVOID DIRECT 
CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a 
nonconducting implement, such as a rope or board, 
to free the victim from the live conductor. If the victim
is unconscious, apply first aid and get immediate 
medical help.
Units with broken or missing parts, without 
protective housing or covers should never be 
operated. Contact your service center for 
replacement parts.
Inspect the generator regularly, and contact your 
nearest Authorized Dealer for parts needing repair 
or replacement.
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 form leaking exhaust gases, fuel 
leakage, oil leakage, etc.
Thoroughly read the OPERATORS MANUAL 
before operating the generator. Safe operation and 
top  performance can be obtained only when 
equipment is operated and maintained properly.
Ensure that enclosure doors are closed and locked  
at all times other than during service.
