OPERATION

Generator Location

NEVER operate the generator inside any building, including
garages, basements, crawlspaces and sheds, enclosure or
compartment, including the generator compartment of a
recreational vehicle. Please consult your local authority. In
some areas, generators must be registered with the local utility.
Generators used at construction sites may be subject to additional
rules and regulations. Generators should be on a flat, level surface
at all times. (Even while not in operation) Generators must have
at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance from all combustible material.
In addition to clearance from all combustible material, generators
must also have at least 3 ft. (91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides to
allow for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing. Generators
should never be started or operated in the back of a SUV, camper,
trailer, in the bed of a truck (regular, flat or otherwise), under
staircases/stairwells, next to walls or buildings, or in any other
location that will not allow for adequate cooling of the generator
and/or the muffler. DO NOT contain generators during operation.
Allow generators to properly cool before transport or storage.
Place the generator in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT place the
generator near vents or intakes where exhaust fumes could be
drawn into occupied or confined spaces. Carefully consider wind
and air currents when positioning generator.
Failure to follow proper safety precautions may void
manufacturer's warranty.

Do not operate or store the generator in rain, snow, or wet
weather.
Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet conditions,
such as rain or snow, or near a pool or sprinkler system,
or when your hands are wet, could result in electrocution.

During operation the muffler and exhaust fumes will become
hot. If adequate cooling and breathing space are not supplied,
or if the generator is blocked or enclosed, temperatures can
become extremely heated and may lead to fire.

Surge Protection

Electronic devices, including computers and many programmable
appliances use components that are designed to operate within a
narrow voltage range and may be affected by momentary voltage
fluctuations. While there is no way to prevent voltage fluctuations,
you can take steps to protect sensitive electronic equipment.
WARNING
WARNING
– Install UL1449, CSA-listed, plug-in surge suppressors on the
outlets feeding your sensitive equipment.
Surge suppressors come in single- or multi-outlet styles.
They're designed to protect against virtually all short-duration
voltage fluctuations.

Fuel Selector

The fuel selector on the front panel of the generator is designed
specifically to choose between the fuel source desired, Gasoline or
Propane (LPG).
To select LPG fuel, slide the selector to the right. Turn the fuel
valve 90° clockwise.
1
To select gasoline fuel, slide the selector to the left. Turn the fuel
valve 90° clockwise.
The fuel selector cover is specifically designed not to slide to
either side while a specific fuel has been selected and the fuel
valve is in the "ON" position. Only when the fuel valves are in
the "OFF" position can the cover slide side to side.
The fuel selector is locked into place once a "click" sound
is made. Only then can a fuel valve be turned to the vertical
position.
