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 CSA42412-20081001

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.
