Operating precautions (continued)
20. Only use a suitable means of transport and
lifting devices with sufficient weight bearing
capacity when transporting the generator.
21. Secure the generator on transport vehicles to
prevent it from rolling, slipping, and tilting.
22. Industrial applications must follow
OSHA requirements.
23. Do not leave the generator unattended when it is
running. Turn off the generator (and remove safety
keys, if available) before leaving the work area.
24. The Generator can produce high noise levels.
Prolonged exposure to noise levels
above 85 dBA is hazardous to hearing.
Wear ear protection when operating the Generator
or when working nearby while it is operating.
25. Wear ANSI-approved safety glasses,
hearing protection, and NIOSH-approved
dust mask/respirator during use.
26. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in
close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
Caution is necessary when near the
engine's magneto or recoil starter.
27. Use only accessories that are recommended
by Harbor Freight Tools for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one
piece of equipment may become hazardous
when used on another piece of equipment.
28. Do not operate in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Gasoline-powered
engines may ignite the dust or fumes.
29. Keep grounded conductive objects, such as
tools, away from exposed, live electrical parts
and connections to avoid sparking or arcing.
These events could ignite fumes or vapors.
30. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating this
generator. Do not use while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
31. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.

32. Parts, especially exhaust system components,
get very hot during use. Stay clear of hot parts.
33. Do not cover the generator during operation.
34. Keep the generator and surrounding
area clean at all times.
35. Do not smoke, or allow sparks, flames,
or other sources of ignition around the
equipment, especially when refuelling.
36. Use the equipment, accessories, etc., in
accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of
equipment, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the equipment for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
37. Do not operate the equipment with known
leaks in the engine's fuel system.
