Electrical System Warnings; Burn And Fire Warnings - Duracell DG65M-R62 Series Owner's Manual

Electrical system WARNINGS

When connecting to a building's electrical system for standby power, this
connection must be made by a qualified electrician. This connection must
isolate your generator's power from the utility's power and remain in
compliance with all electrical codes and applicable laws.
•
Do not connect your generator to a commercial power outlet such as a building's electrical
system unless an isolation switch is used, and that switch was installed by a qualified electrician.
•
Improperly connecting your generator to a building's electrical system could allow electrical
current from your generator to backfeed into the utility's lines. This could electrocute utility
employees and others who make contact with the lines during a power outage. Your generator
could also explode, burn, or cause fires when the power is restored. Consult a qualified
electrician and/or the utility company before proceeding.

Burn and fire WARNINGS

Your generator's exhaust system becomes hot enough that it
could ignite some materials and cause severe burns.
Gasoline is highly flammable and can be explosive, so use
extreme caution when refueling and operating your generator.
•
Stop engine when refueling.
•
Do not smoke when refueling your generator.
•
Keep your generator at least seven feet (or 2 meters) away from buildings and equipment.
•
Keep flammable materials away from your generator.
•
Do not allow sparks or flames near your generator when it's refueled and keep them away
from your stored gasoline.
•
Fuel vapors are highly flammable, so they could ignite after your generator is started. Wipe
up any spilled fuel before you restart your generator.
•
Do not operate your generator in enclosed or partially enclosed areas.
•
Avoid touching your generator's muffler. It becomes extremely hot when your generator is in
use. It remains hot for quite a while after you turn your generator off, so wait to move your
generator into storage until the muffler has completely cooled to avoid severe burns.
