Electric Shock Hazards

Fire and Burn Hazards

Medical and Life Support Uses

Generator Damage Hazards

Generator produces powerful voltage that can cause

death or great physical harm.

•When using generator for back-up power, notify the

utility company. Use approved transfer equipment to

isolate generator from electric utility.

•NEVER connect to a building's electrical system

unless a transfer switch has been installed by a qual-

ified electrician.

•NEVER touch bare wires or receptacles.

•NEVER use generator with electrical cords that are

worn, frayed, bare, or otherwise damaged.

•NEVER operate generator in rain or snow, or when

the generator is set on wet surface.

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and

explosive under certain conditions.

•Refuel generator only outdoors, in a well-ventilated

area.

•NEVER enclose the generator in any structure.

•Keep generator at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from

buildings, other equipment, and combustible materi-

als during operation.

•NEVER fill fuel tank while the engine is running. Turn

generator OFF and allow to cool before filling with

fuel.

•NEVER smoke or allow flames or sparks near the

generator or where gasoline is stored.

•NEVER overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel

in the filler neck). After refueling, make sure the tank

cap is closed properly and securely.

•Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel

or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, be sure

the area is dry before starting the engine.

•Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or

breathing of vapor.

WARNING

The muffler becomes very hot during operation and

remains hot for a while after stopping the engine.

•NEVER touch hot surfaces and avoid hot gases.

•Let engine cool before storing the generator indoors.

•In case of emergency, call 911 immediately.

•NEVER use this product to power life support

devices or life support appliances.

•NEVER use this product to power medical devices or

medical appliances.

•Inform your electricity provider immediately if you or

anyone in your household depends on electrical

equipment to live.

•Inform your electrical provider immediately if a loss

of power would cause you or anyone in your house-

hold to experience a medical emergency.

NOTICE

Improper treatment or misuse of generator can cause per-

manent damage.

•NEVER modify generator in any way.

•NEVER tamper with governed speed. Generator

supplies correct rated frequency and voltage when

running at governed speed.

•Damage to generator caused by misuse or modifica-

tion is not covered under warranty.
