1) SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Generator is designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according to instructions. Read the Owner’s Manual before operating the generator. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage. Operate the generator ONLY outdoors, and at least 3 feet away from open doors or windows. Never run the generator indoors as the engine gives off poisonous carbon monoxide, an odorless and colorless gas.

Page 24 8) TRANSPORTATION/STORAGE Transportation: If the generator has been running, let it cool for at least 15 minutes before loading it into a vehicle. A hot generator can seriously burn you or can ignite flammable materials. To prevent fuel leakage, the engine should be upright (normal operating position) nicely secured.
Page 25: Transporting/Storage
Cold weather starting tips: Most gas-powered generators are more difficult to start during cold temperatures. This generator has been tested for cold weather starting, but it will still be more difficult to start the engine in below-freezing temperatures. Ease of starting improves if the generator has been stored under normal temperate conditions, such as in a garage or a basement.

Page 28: Warranty
11) LIMITED WARRANTY Eastern Tools & Equipment, Inc. will repair or replace, free of charge, any part or parts of the generator that are defective in material or workmanship or both. Transportation charges on parts submitted for repair or replacement under this Warranty must be borne by purchaser.
Page 29 Normal wear: Engines and generators, like all mechanical devices, need periodic parts service and replacement to perform well. Warranty will not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part of an engine. Improper maintenance: The life of an engine or your equipment depends upon the conditions under which it operates, and the care it receives. Some applications, such as tillers, pumps, and rotary movers, are very often used in dusty or dirty conditions, which can cause what appears to be premature, wear.
