SAFETY RULES

The engine exhaust from this product contains

chemicals known to the state of California to cause

cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

Read this manual thoroughly before operating your

generator. Failure to follow instructions could result

in serious injury or death.

Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a

colorless, odorless, poison gas. Breathing carbon

monoxide will cause nausea, dizziness, fainting

or death. If you start to feel dizzy or weak, get to

fresh air immediately.

Operate generator outdoors only in a well ventilated

area.

DO NOT operate the generator inside any building,

including garages, basements, crawlspaces and

sheds, enclosure or compartment, including the

generator compartment of a recreational vehicle.

DO NOT allow exhaust fumes to enter a conﬁned

area through windows, doors, vents or other

openings.

DANGER CARBON MONOXIDE: using a generator

indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.

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.

Operate equipment with guards in place.

DO NOT wear loose-ﬁtting clothing, dangling

Generator produces powerful voltage.

DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles.

DO NOT use electrical cords that are worn, damaged

or frayed.

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.

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.

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 three feet of clearance on all sides

to ensure adequate cooling.

Maintain at least ﬁve feet of clearance from

combustible materials.

WARNING

REV 73536i-20110121 4

73536i ENGLISH

SAFETY RULES

Fuel and fuel vapors are highly ﬂammable and

extremely explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

Unintentional startup can result in entanglement,

traumatic amputation or laceration.

When adding or removing fuel:

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 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.

Disconnect the spark plug wire.

When storing the generator:

Store away from sparks, open ﬂames, pilot lights,

heat and other sources of ignition.

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.

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.

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

Operation of this equipment may create sparks that

can start ﬁres around dry vegetation.

A spark arrestor may be required. The operator

should contact local ﬁre agencies for laws or

regulations relating to ﬁre prevention requirements.
