area through windows, doors, vents or other

openings.

DANGER CARBON MONOXIDE: using a generator

indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.

DANGER

Rotating parts can entangle hands, feet, hair,

clothing and/or accessories.

Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can result.

Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.

Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.

DO NOT operate generator in wet weather.

DO NOT allow children or unqualiﬁed persons to

operate or service the generator

Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in damp

areas and areas containing conductive material such

as metal decking.

Use approved transfer equipment to isolate generator

from your electric utility and Notify your utility

company before connecting your generator to your

power system.

DANGER

Sparks can result in ﬁre or electrical shock.

When servicing the generator:

Disconnect the spark plug wire and place it where it

cannot contact the plug.

DO NOT check for spark with the plug removed.

Use only approved spark plug testers.

WARNING

Running engines produce heat. Severe burns can

occur on contact.

Combustible material can catch ﬁre on contact.

DO NOT touch hot surfaces.

Avoid contact with hot exhaust gases.

Allow equipment to cool before touching.

Maintain at least 3 ft. (91.4 cm) of clearance on all

sides to ensure adequate cooling.

Maintain at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance from

combustible materials.

WARNING

The engine exhaust from this product contains

chemicals known to the state of California to cause

cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

WARNING

Read this manual thoroughly before operating your

generator. Failure to follow instructions could result

in serious injury or death.

WARNING

REV 71531-20140505 4

71531 ENGLISH

SAFETY RULES

Improper treatment or use of the generator can

damage it, shorten its life and void your warranty.

Use the generator only for intended uses.

Operate only on level surfaces.

DO NOT expose generator to excessive moisture,

dust, or dirt.

DO NOT allow any material to block the cooling slots.

If connected devices overheat, turn them off and

disconnect them from the generator.

DO NOT use the generator if:

– Electrical output is lost

– Equipment sparks, smokes or emits ﬂames

– Equipment vibrates excessively

CAUTION

Rapid retraction of the starter cord will pull hand and

arm towards the engine faster than you can let go.

Unintentional startup can result in entanglement,

traumatic amputation or laceration.

Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could result.

When starting engine, pull the starter cord slowly

until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid

kickback.

DO NOT start or stop the engine with electrical

devices plugged in.

WARNING

Exceeding the generator’s running capacity can

damage the generator and/or electrical devices

connected to it.

DO NOT overload the generator.

Start the generator and allow the engine to stabilize

before connecting electrical loads.

Connect electrical equipment in the off position,

and then turn them on for operation.

Turn electrical equipment off and disconnect before

stopping the generator.

DO NOT tamper with the governed speed.

DO NOT modify the generator in any way.

CAUTION

Medical and Life Support Uses.

In case of emergency, call 911 immediately.

NEVER use this product to power life support

devices or life support appliances.

regulations relating to ﬁre prevention requirements.

WARNING

5REV 71531-20140505

ENGLISH 71531

Gasoline and Gasoline Vapors (Gas):

– GAS IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.

– Gas can cause a ﬁre or explosion if ignited.

– Gas is a liquid fuel but it’s vapors can ignite.

– Gas is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up

immediately if spilled on skin or clothes.

– Gas has a distinctive odor, this will help detect

potential leaks quickly.

– In any gas ﬁre, ﬂames should not be extinguished

unless by doing so the fuel supply valve can be

turned OFF. This is because if a ﬁre is extinguished

and a supply of fuel is not turned OFF, then an

explosion hazard could be created.

– Gas expands or contracts with ambient temperatures.

Never ﬁll the gas tank to full capacity, as gas needs

room to expand if temperatures rise.

Liqueﬁed Petroleum Gas (LPG):

– LPG IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.

– Flammable gas under pressure can cause a ﬁre or

explosion if ignited.

– LPG is heavier than air and can settle in low places

while dissipating.

– LPG has a distinctive odor added to help detect

potential leaks quickly.

– In any petroleum gas ﬁre, ﬂames should not be

extinguished unless by doing so the fuel supply

valve can be turned OFF. This is because if a ﬁre is

extinguished and a supply of fuel is not turned OFF,

then an explosion hazard could be created.

– When exchanging LPG cylinders, be sure the cylinder

valve is of the same type.

– Always keep the LPG cylinder in an upright position.

– LPG will burn skin if it comes in contact with it.

Keep any and all LPG away from skin at all times.

SAFETY RULES

Fuel Safety

GASOLINE, GASOLINE VAPORS AND LIQUID

PETROLEUM GAS (LPG) ARE HIGHLY

FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

Unintentional startup can result in entanglement,

traumatic amputation or laceration.

DANGER

When adding or removing Gas:

Turn the generator off and let it cool for at least two

minutes before removing the fuel cap. Loosen the cap

slowly to relieve pressure in the tank.

Only ﬁll or drain fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area.

DO NOT pump gas directly into the generator at the gas

station. Use an approved container to transfer the fuel to

the generator.

DO NOT overﬁll the fuel tank.

Always keep fuel away from sparks, open ﬂames, pilot

lights, heat and other sources of ignition.

DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.

When starting the generator:

DO NOT attempt to start a damaged generator.

Make certain that the gas cap, air ﬁlter, spark plug, fuel

lines and exhaust system are properly in place.

Allow spilled fuel to evaporate fully before attempting to

start the engine.

Make certain that the generator is resting ﬁrmly on level

ground.

When operating the generator:

DO NOT move or tip the generator during operation.

DO NOT tip the generator or allow fuel or oil to spill.

When transporting or servicing the generator:

Make certain that the fuel shutoff valve is in the off

position and the fuel tank is empty.

Make certain that a LPG cylinder is not attached to

generator and is securely stowed away.

Disconnect the spark plug wire.

When storing the generator:

Store away from sparks, open ﬂames, pilot lights, heat

and other sources of ignition.

Do not store generator, gas or LPG cylinder near

furnances, water heaters, or any other appliances that

produce heat or have automatic ignitions.

Never use a gas container, LPG connector hose,

gas tank, LPG cylinder or any other fuel item that is

damaged or appears damaged.
