Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before installing, 
operating or servicing this equipment. Become familiar 
with this Owner’s Manual and with the unit. The gen-
erator 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 fun-
damental rules or precautions.

The manufacturer-cannot-anticipate-every-possible-cir-
cumstance 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 that the manufac-
turer does not specifically recommend, ensure that it 
is safe for others. Also make sure the procedure, work 
method or operating technique utilized does not render 
the generator unsafe.

• For safety reasons, The manufacturer recommends 

that this equipment be installed, serviced and repaired 
by an Authorized Service Dealer or other competent, 
qualified electrician or installation technician who is 
familiar with applicable codes, standards and regula-
tions. The operator also must comply with all such 
codes, standards and regulations.

• Installation, operation, servicing and repair of this 

(and related) equipment must always comply with 
applicable codes, standards, laws and regulations. 
Adhere strictly to local, state and national electri-
cal and building codes. Comply with regulations 
the Occupational Safety and Health Administration 
(OSHA) has established. Also, ensure that the genera-
tor is installed, operated and serviced in accordance 
with the manufacturer’s instructions and recommen-
dations. Following installation, do nothing that might 
render the unit unsafe or in noncompliance with the 
aforementioned codes, standards, laws and regula-
tions.

•  The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide 

gas, which can be DEADLY. This dangerous gas, 
if breathed in sufficient concentrations, can cause 
unconsciousness or even death. For that reason, 
adequate ventilation must be provided. Exhaust 
gases must be piped safely away from any building 
or enclosure that houses the generator to an area 
where people, animals, etc., will not be harmed. This 
exhaust system must be installed properly, in strict 
compliance with applicable codes and 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 operat-
ing.

• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilat-

ing air is critical to prevent buildup of explosive gases 
and to ensure 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.

•  Keep the area around the generator clean and unclut-

tered. Remove any materials that could become haz-
ardous.

•  When working on this equipment, remain alert at all 

times. Never work on the equipment when physically 
or mentally fatigued.
