To ensure safe operation
Connections for standby power to a building's

the utility lines. Such back feed may electrocute utility
company workers or others who contact the lines
during a power outage, and when utility power is
restored, the generator may explode, burn, or cause
fires in the building's electrical system.
Always make a pre-operation inspection (page
the engine. You may prevent an accident or equipment damage.

of all the controls. Never permit anyone to operate the generator
without proper instructions.

operation.
Keep away from rotating parts while the generator is running.
