GENERATOR SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Honda generators are designed for use with electrical equipment that
has suitable power requirements. Other uses can result in injury to the
operator or damage to the generator and other property.
Most accidents can be prevented if you follow all instructions in this
manual and on the generator. The most common hazards are
discussed below, along with the best way to protect yourself and
others.

Operator Responsibility

Know how to stop the generator quickly in case of emergency.
Understand the use of all generator controls, output receptacles,
and connections.
Be sure that anyone who operates the generator receives proper
instruction. Do not let children operate the generator without
parental supervision.
Do not operate within 3 feet (0.9 meter) of any walls.
Do not operate in any enclosure.

Carbon Monoxide Hazards

Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless
gas. Breathing exhaust can cause loss of consciousness and may
lead to death.
If you run the generator in a confined or even partially enclosed area,
the air you breathe could contain dangerous amounts of exhaust
gas. To keep exhaust gas from building up, provide adequate
ventilation.
