Safety Information - Honda EB3500X Owner's Manual

SAFETY INFORMATION
Honda generators are designed to give safe and dependable service if
operated according to instructions. Read and understand this owner's
manual before operating your generator. You can help prevent
accidents by being familiar with your generator's controls, and by
observing safe operating procedures.
Operator Responsibility
l
Know how to stop the generator quickly in case of emergency.
l
Understand the use of all generator controls, output receptacles,
and connections.
l
Be sure that anyone who operates the generator receives proper
instruction. Do not let children operate the generator without
parental supervision.
Carbon Monoxide Hazards
l
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless and
odorless gas. Breathing exhaust can cause loss of consciousness
and may lead to death.
l
If you run the generator in an area that is confined, or even partially
enclosed, the air you breathe could contain a dangerous amount of
exhaust gas. To keep exhaust gas from accumulating, provide
adequate ventilation.
Electric Shock Hazards
l
The generator produces enough electric power to cause a serious
shock or electrocution if misused.
l
Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet conditions, such as
rain or snow, or near a pool or sprinkler system, or when your hands
are wet, could result in electrocution. Keep the generator dry.
l
If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the weather,
check the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), and all other
electrical components on the control panel, before each use.
Moisture or ice can cause a malfunction or short circuit in electrical
components which could result in electrocution.
l
Do not connect to a building electrical system unless an isolation
switch has been installed by a qualified electrician.
l
Do not connect to swimming pool equipment installed before
adoption of the 1965 national electric code.
