WARNING: LOCATION HAZARDS
Choose a suitable site for operating your generator to prevent possible death from
carbon monoxide poisoning or injury from fire/explosion, hot surfaces, or equipment
tip-over. Your generator can crush and cause serious injury if it rolls out of control or
tips over. Follow the instructions for safely moving the generator.
Moving and Handling
To move the generator around:
•
Make sure the generator is turned off and has cooled down.
•
Lock the handles and use them to manually move the generator.
•
Lift the handles and push the generator in front of you as you walk.
•
To turn, pivot the generator on its wheels as you push it.
Elevating or lowering your generator:
•
To reduce risk of injury, it is recommended that at least two adults lift the
generator.
•
The generator must be off and cooled to ambient temperature (room
temperature).

alternator or engine as a lifting point.
For Outdoor Use ONLY
Select a Suitable Outdoor Location:
1. Never run the generator in an enclosed or partially enclosed location such as a
building, garage, barn, shed, or house. These spaces can trap poisonous gases.
Running a fan or opening windows will not provide adequate ventilation to prevent
dangerous carbon monoxide build-up.
2. Only use the generator outdoors and far away from open windows, doors, and
building or vehicle vents.
3. Place the generator so that the exhaust fumes will not be directed towards people
or building air leaks and at least 7 feet away from combustible materials.
4. Do not locate and use the generator in the presence of flammable vapors, dust,
gases, or other potentially combustible materials.
5. Ensure that working, battery-operated or battery back-up carbon monoxide alarms
are used in any dwelling/structure that is in close proximity to the running
generator.
6. Note that this generator is NOT designed or approved for use in vehicles or marine
applications. Never run the generator inside RV's or other vehicles, on boats, or
on pick-up truck beds.
