Operator Safety

Equipment Description

Read this manual carefully and become familiar
with your generator. Know its applications, its
limitations and any hazards involved.
The generator is an engine–driven, revolving field, alternating
and direct current (AC & DC) generator. It was designed to
supply electrical power for operating compatible electrical
lighting, appliances, tools and motor loads. The generator's
revolving field is driven at about 4,500 rpm (with
POWERSMART mode switch off) by a single-cylinder engine.
NOTICE Exceeding generators wattage/amperage capacity
can damage generator and/or electrical devices connected
to it.
• DO NOT exceed the generator's wattage/amperage capacity. See
Don't Overload Generator in the Operation section.
Every effort has been made to ensure that the information in
this manual is both accurate and current. However, the
manufacturer reserves the right to change, alter or otherwise
improve the generator and this documentation at any time
without prior notice.

Important Safety Information

The manufacturer cannot possibly anticipate every possible
circumstance that might involve a hazard. The warnings in
this manual, and the tags and decals affixed to the unit are,
therefore, not all-inclusive. If you use a procedure, work
method or operating technique that the manufacturer does
not specifically recommend, you must satisfy yourself that it
is safe for you and others. You must also make sure that the
procedure, work method or operating technique that you
choose does not render the generator unsafe.
