LOOK FOR THIS SYMBOL TO POINT OUT
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
IT
MEANS "ATTENTION!!!
BECOME ALERT!!!
YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED."
CAUTION!
Before using this product, read
this manual and follow all Safety Rules and
Operating Instructions.
DANGER!
This generator is designed for
outdoor use only. Do not use this generator
inside any building or enclosure including the
generator compartment of a recreational
vehicle (RV). Fire or an explosion may result.
No user performed modifications, including
venting of exhaust and/or cooling ventilation,
will eliminate the danger. Also, allow at least
two feet of clearance on all sides of the
generator even while operating the unit
outdoors.
CAUTION!
Always disconnect spark plug wire
and place the wire where it cannot contact the
spark plug. To prevent accidental starting when
setting up, transporting, adjusting or making
repairs to your generator.
•
The generator produces dangerously high voltage
that can cause extremely hazardous electrical
shock. Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals,
etc. Never permit an unqualified person to operate
or service the generator.
•
Never handle any kind of electrical cord or device
while standing in water, while barefoot or while
hands or feet are wet. Dangerous electrical shock
will result.
•
The National Electric Code requires the frame and
external electrically conductive parts of generator
be properly connected to an approved earth
ground. Local electrical codes may also require
proper grounding of the generator. Consult with a
local electrician for grounding requirements
in your
area.
•
Use a ground fault circuit interrupter in any damp
or highly conductive area (such as metal decking
or steel work).
•
Do not use worn, bare, frayed or otherwise
damaged electrical cord sets with the generator.
Using any defective cord set may result in
electrical shock or damage to property.
•
Operate generator only on level surfaces and
where it will not be exposed to excessive moisture,
dirt, dust or corrosive vapors.
•
Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors are
EXPLOSIVE. Do not permit smoking, open flames,
sparks or heat in the vicinity while handling
gasoline. Avoid spilling gasoline on a hot engine.
Comply with all laws regulating storage and
handling of gasoline.
•
Never add fuel while unit is running.
•
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always allow room for
fuel expansion. If tank is overfilled, fuel can
overflow onto a hot engine and cause FIRE or an
EXPLOSION.
•
Never store generator with fuel in tank where
gasoline vapors might reach an open flame or
spark or pilot light (as on a furnace, water heater
or clothes dryer). FIRE or EXPLOSION may result.
•
Generator exhaust gases contain DEADLY carbon
monoxide gas. This dangerous gas, if breathed in
sufficient concentrations, can cause
unconsciousness
or even death. Operate this
equipment only in the open air where adequate
ventilation is available.
•
Allow at least 2 feet of clearance on all sides of
generator, even while operating unit outdoors, or
you could damage the unit. Never operate the unit
inside a room or enclosure where the free flow of
cooling air into and out of the unit might be
obstructed.
•
Never start or stop the unit with electrical loads
connected to receptacles AND with the connected
devices turned ON. Start the engine and let it
stabilize before connecting electrical loads.
Disconnect all electrical loads before shutting
down the generator.
•
Do not insert any object through cooling slots of
the unit.
•
Never operate generator
(a) in rain; (b) in any
enclosed compartment;
(c) if connected electrical
devices overheat; (d) if electrical output is lost; (e)
if engine or generator sparks; (f) if flames or
smoke are observed while unit is running; (g) if
unit vibrates excessively.
NOTE: Your generator is equipped with a spark
arrestor muffler, the spark arrestor must be
maintained in effective working order by the owner/
operator. In the State of California a spark arrestor is
required by law (Section 4442 of the California Public
Resources Code). Other states may have similar
laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands.
