Safety Rules

Rev C46540-20070615 3

Safety Rules

WARNING

Read this manual thoroughly before operating

your generator. Failure to follow instructions

could result in serious injury or death.

WARNING

The engine exhaust from this product contains

chemicals known to the state of California to

cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive

harm.

DANGER

Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a

colorless, odorless, poison gas. Breathing carbon

monoxide will cause nausea, dizziness, fainting or

death.

Operate generator outdoors only in a well

ventilated area

DO NOT operate the generator inside any

building, 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

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

drawstrings or items that could become caught.

DANGER

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.

WARNING

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 three feet of clearance on all

sides to ensure adequate cooling.

Maintain at least five feet of clearance from

combustible materials.

Safety Rules

4 Rev C46540-20070615

DANGER

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.

WARNING

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.

CAUTION

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

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.
