INTENDED USE

The generator is designed to supply electrical power for
operating compatible electrical lighting, appliances, tools,
and motor loads.
Do not use the product to provide power for emergency
medical equipment or life support devices.
Do not use the product to jump start vehicles. Doing so
could result in damage to the vehicle or its electrical
components.
Do not use the product for any other purpose.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER
Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors can
cause death in minutes.
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon
monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or
smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are
breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust,
you could be breathing CO.
Never use the generator inside homes, garages,
crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly
levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas.
Using a fan or opening windows and doors does not
supply enough fresh air.
Only use the generator outdoors and far away from
open windows, doors, and vents. These openings can
pull in generator exhaust.
Even when you use the generator correctly, CO may leak
into your home. Always use a battery-powered or battery-
backup CO alarm in your home.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator
has been running, move to an area with fresh air right
away. See a physician. You could have a carbon monoxide
poisoning.
WARNING
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning, which
will cause death or serious injury.
WARNING
Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified
electrician to comply with the intended use of the
generator.
Do not use the product in flammable surroundings.
