4 SAFE OPERATION
EXHAUST GASES & FIRE PREVENTION
A Engine exhaust fumes can be very harmful if allowing
them to accumulate. Be sure to run the engine in a well
ventilated place and where there are no people or
livestock near the generator.
A DO NOT operate the generator in a closed area such as
inside houses, warehouses, tunnels, wells, ship holds,
tanks, etc. or places without proper ventilation.
A DO NOT operate the generator where the building or
other obstructions block off air circulation or where
exhaust gas can accumulate.
A The exhaust gas from the muffler is very hot. To prevent
a fire, DO NOT expose to dry grass, papers, oil and any
other combustible materials to exhaust gas. Also, keep
the engine and muffler clean at all times.
A To avoid fire, be alert for leaks of flammables from hoses
and lines. Be sure to check for leaks from hoses or pipes,
such as fuel and engine oil by following the maintenance
check list.
A To avoid a fire, DO NOT short across power cables and
wires.
Check to see that all power cables and wiring are in good
condition.
A Keep all power connections clean and tight. Bare wire or
frayed insulation can cause a dangerous electrical shock
and personal injury.
HANDS AND BODY AWAY FROM THE ROTATING PARTS
A DO NOT operate the generator with the side covers
removed or open. Serious personal injury may result if
fingers or clothing are caught in the rotating parts.
A Be sure to stop the engine before checking or adjusting
belt tension and cooling fan.
A To avoid personal injury, keep your hands and body
away from the rotating parts, such as cooling fan, V-belt,
fan drive V-belt, pulleys or flywheel.

detached. Install
