the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment.

Installation Precautions:

1. Ensure installation meets all applicable safety, and local and national electrical

codes. Have installation performed by a qualified, licensed electrician and

building contractor.

2. All electrical work, including the earth-ground connection, should be completed

by a licensed electrician.

3. Any separate fuel storage Generator supply facility must be built or installed in

full compliance with relevant local, state, and federal regulations.

4. If the generator is installed indoors, exhaust fumes must be piped out of the

building using leak-free, heat-resistant piping. Secure the generator in place

before piping exhaust. Pipes and silencer should not use any flammable materi-

als, nor should they be installed near the same. Generator exhaust fumes should

be within legal limits. All applicable building codes must be followed. The gen-

erator must be located in a well ventilated work area. See section on Generator

Support and Mounting on page 9.

5. If the generator is permanently installed outdoors, it must be weatherproofed and

can be soundproofed. It should not be run outdoors without protection to the

Generator and wiring connections (plug in connections, not hard wired).

6. Never lift the Generator using the engine or alternator for lifting. Use only lifting

devices capable of safely supporting the weight of this generator. This generator

weighs 154 lbs. Never attempt to lift or move this generator without assistance.

7. Before lifting the Generator, ensure the lift rigging and supporting structure, if

required, are in good condition, and are rated to lift such a load.

8. Keep all personnel away from the suspended generator during relocating.
