Electric Shock Hazards
Generators produce powerful voltage that can cause
death or great physical harm.
• 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.
• Keep the generator out of reach of children, pets,
and untrained people.
Fire and Burn Hazards
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 mate-
rials 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.
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
