GENERATOR SAfETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
Warning: This engine-run generator must never be used indoors, in a house, or any
other sealed structure. Carbon monoxide is produced during operation and is deadly in
a closed environment. Early signs of carbon Monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with
headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you have these signs get fresh air immediately.
1. The Generator produces electrical current. improper use can result in electrocution,
injury or death. Only a qualified technician should service or repair this generator.
2. The Generator was designed to be used in a dry area. do not expose to rain, snow,
sleet, or damp conditions. damage to the Generator could occur. Moisture can carry
electrical current and could cause electrocution.
3. if the Generator is connected to a building, home, business, or any other electrical
circuit normally fed by utility power, steps must be taken to ensure that the Generator
output and the utility power are positively isolated. Failure to isolate the systems will
result in Generator damage. it could also result in personal injury or death to those
working around these circuits. any connection in this regard must only be done by a
licensed electrician.
4. avoid damaging the Generator by not exceeding its rated capacity. The total electrical
loads at each outlet must be added to determine the total electrical load. if the
electrical appliance does not list the wattage rating, you can calculate it by multiplying
amps times voltage (amps x voltage = watts).
5. do not tamper with the engine-governed speed. The Generator operates at a
nominal speed of 3600 rPM. increases in speed could damage rotating parts of the
Generator. slower speeds could damage the Generator or appliances connected to
the Generator due to low voltage.
6. always follow national and local safety codes.
7. do not start the Generator with appliances connected and turned on.
8. Give the Generator at least two feet of space to dissipate heat.
9. never handle electrical charged extension cords while standing in water.
10. Properly ground the Generator. The national Electrical Code requires that the
Generator frame be properly grounded to earth. This should be done by a licensed
electrician. (refer to the section on Grounding.)
