GA-4.5R/GA-4.5RA — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

The following safety guidelines should always be used when

operating the GA-4.5R/GA-4.5RA Portable Generators:

GENERAL SAFETY

■

DO NOT operate or service this

equipment before reading this entire

manual.

■

This equipment should not be operated by persons under

18 years of age.

■

NEVER operate this equipment without proper protective

clothing, shatterproof glasses, steel-toed boots and other

protective devices required by the job.

■

The engine section of this generator requires an adequate

free flow of cooling air.

NEVER

operate the generator in

any enclosed or narrow

area where free flow of the

air is restricted. If the air

flow is restricted it will

cause serious damage to

the generator or engine and

may cause injury to

people. Remember the

generator's engine gives

off

DEADLY

carbon

monoxide gas.

■

NEVER operate this equipment under the influence of

drugs

alcohol

■

NEVER touch the hot exhaust

manifold, muffler or cylinder. Allow

these parts to cool before servicing

engine or generator.

■

ALWAYS wear proper respiratory (mask),

hearing and eye protection equipment when

operating the generator.

■

Whenever necessary, replace nameplate, operation and

safety decals when they become difficult read.

■

Manufacturer does not assume responsibility for any

accident due to equipment modifications.

■

NEVER use accessories or attachments, which are not

recommended by Multiquip for this equipment. Damage

to the equipment and/or injury to user may result.

■

NEVER operate this equipment when not

feeling well due to fatigue, illness or taking

medicine.

■

ALWAYS refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from sparks

and open flames.

■

ALWAYS use extreme caution when

working with flammable liquids. When

refueling, stop the engine and allow it to

cool. DO NOT

smoke

around or near the

machine. Fire or explosion could result

from fuel vapors, or if fuel is spilled on a

hot engine.

■

NEVER operate the generator in an

explosive atmosphere or near

combustible materials. An explosion or

fire could result causing severe

bodily

harm or even death.

■

NEVER disconnect any

"emergency or safety devices"

These devices are intended for operator safety. Disconnection

of these devices can cause severe injury, bodily harm or even

death! Disconnection of any of these devices will void all

warranties.

Failure to follow instructions in this manual may lead to

serious injury

or even

DEATH

! This equipment is to be

operated by trained and qualified personnel only! This

equipment is for industrial use only.

DANGER - READ THIS MANUAL!

GA-4.5R/GA-4.5RA A.C. GENERATOR — OPERATION & PARTS MANUAL — REV. #1 (11/27/06) — PAGE 9

GA-4.5R/GA-4.5RA — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

■

ALWAYS be sure the operator is familiar with proper safety

precautions and operation techniques before using generator.

■

NEVER leave the generator unattended, turn off engine when

unattended.

■

Unauthorized equipment modifications will void all

warranties.

■

ALWAYS ensure generator is on level ground before use.

■

DO NOT place hands or fingers inside generator engine

compartment when engine is running.

■

NEVER run engine without air cleaner. Severe engine damage

may occur.

■

NEVER change or adjust the engine speed which has been

set at the factory prior to shipping.

■

Removing the engine oil drain plug while

the engine is hot will result in hot oil to gush

out of the oil drain plug, therefore causing

severe scalding to any persons in the general

area of the generator.

Power Cord Safety

■

NEVER let power cables or cords

lay in wate

■

NEVER

stand in water

while AC power from the generator

is being transfer to a load.

■

NEVER use a defective or frayed power cable. Check the

cable for cuts in the insulation.

■

NEVER use a extension cord that is frayed or damaged where

the insulation has been cut.

■

ALWAYS make certain that proper power or extension cord

has been selected for the job See Table 3.

Grounding Safety

■

ALWAYS make sure that electrical circuits are properly

grounded

per the

National Electrical Code

(NEC) and

local codes before operating generator. Severe

injury

death!

by electrocution can result from operating an

ungrounded generator.

■

ALWAYS make sure generator is properly grounded to a

suitable earth ground (GROUND ROD). See installation

section in this manual.

■

NEVER use

gas piping

as an electrical ground.

Maintenance Safety

■

NEVER lubricate components or attempt service on a running

machine.

■

HighTemperatures – Always stop engine and

allow the engine to cool before adding fuel, oil

or performing service and maintenance

functions. Contact with

hot!

components can

cause serious burns.

■

Keep the machinery in proper running condition.

■

Fix damage to the machine immediately and replace any

broken parts immediately.

■

ALWAYS replace any worn or damaged warning decals.

■

ALWAYS store equipment properly when it is not being used.

Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry location out of the

reach of children and un-authorized personnel.

■

The electrical voltage required to operate the generator can

cause severe injury or even death through physical contact

with live circuits.

Turn all circuit breakers OFF before

performing maintenance on the generator.

■

Dispose of hazardous waste properly. Examples of potentially

hazardous waste are used motor oil, fuel and fuel filters.

■

DO NOT use food or plastic containers to dispose of

hazardous waste.

■

DO NOT pour waste, oil or fuel directly onto the ground,

down a drain or into any water source.

GA-4.5R/GA-4.5RA — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

Backfeed to a utility system can cause

electrocution

and or property damage.

NEVER connect the generator to a

building's electrical system without a

transfer switch or other approved device.

All installations should be performed by

licensed electrician

in accordance

with all applicable laws and electrical

codes. Failure to do so could result in

electrical shock or burn causing serious

injury or even death!

Emergencies

■

ALWAYS know the location of the

nearest

fire extinguisher

■

ALWAYS know the location of the nearest

first aid kit

■

In emergencies

always

know the location of the

nearest phone or

exists the possibility of

electrocution

electrical shock or burn

, which can

cause

severe bodily harm

or even

DEATH!

To avoid these hazards:

NEVER use

damaged

worn

cables when connecting

equipment to the generator. Make sure power connecting

cables are securely connected to the generator’s output

receptacles, incorrect connections may cause damage

to the generator and electrical shock.

NEVER insert any objects into

the output receptacles during

operation. This is extremely

dangerous. ALWAYS turn-off

the generator and place all circuit breakers in the “OFF”

position when contact with the output receptacles is

required. There exist the possibility of
