9.  Improper connections to a building electrical 

system can allow electrical current from the 

generator to backfeed into the utility lines. 

Such backfeed may electrocute utility company 

workers or others who contact the lines during a 

power outage, and the generator may explode, 

burn, or cause fires when utility power is restored. 

Consult the utility company and a qualified electrician 

if intending to use the generator for back up power.

10. Do not operate the Generator before grounding. 

The Generator must be earth-grounded 

in accordance with all relevant electrical 

codes and standards before operation.

1. 

Generator exhaust contains carbon 

monoxide.  This is a poison you cannot 

see or smell. 

NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors 

and windows are open. 

Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, 

doors, and vents.

2.  Never use a generator indoors,  including in 

garages, basements, crawlspaces and sheds. 

Opening doors and windows or using fans will NOT 

prevent carbon monoxide build up in the home.

3.  When using generators, keep them outdoors 

and far away from open doors, windows, 

and vents to avoid toxic levels of carbon 

monoxide from building up indoors.

4.  If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while 

using a generator, get to fresh air right away. 

The carbon monoxide from generators can 

quickly lead to full incapacitation and death.

5.  Keep children away from the equipment, 

especially while it is operating. 

6.  Keep all spectators at least six feet 

from the Engine during operation.

7.  Fire Hazard! Do not fill gas tank while engine is 

running. Do not operate if gasoline has been spilled. 

Clean spilled gasoline before starting engine. 

Do not operate near pilot light or open flame.

8.  Do not touch engine during use. Let 

engine cool down after use. 

9.  Never store fuel or other flammable 

materials near the engine.

10. If the plugged in product operates abnormally 

or unusually slow, immediately stop using the 

generator as a power source.  Always read and 

adhere to the instruction manual of the product 

to be powered, to make sure that it can be safely 

and efficiently powered by a portable generator.  

11.  Before connecting an appliance or power cord 

to the generator:  Make sure that it is in good 

working order. Faulty appliances or power cords 

can create a potential for electrical shock.

12. Do not exceed the maximum power rating of the 

generator. Make sure that the total electrical rating 

of the all of the tools or appliances plugged into 

the generator at the same time does not exceed 

that of the generator. Check that the startup surge 

will not be beyond the limit of the Generator. 

Power levels between rated and maximum 

may be used for no more than 30 minutes.

13. Avoid substantially overloading which will trip the 

circuit breaker. Exceeding the time limit for maximum 

power operation or slightly overloading the generator 

may not switch the circuit breaker or circuit protector 

OFF, but will shorten the service life of the generator.

14. Do not attempt to connect or disconnect 

load connections while standing in 

water, or on wet or soggy ground.

15. Do not touch electrically energized parts of 

the Generator and interconnecting cables or 

conductors with any part of the body, or with 

any non-insulated conductive object.
