Legal Requirements:
Federal and/or State Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, local codes, and/or ordinances may apply to the intended
use of this generator. Consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, and/or the local agency having jurisdiction. Some areas require generators

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
STOP!
Before using this generator and if you have any questions regarding the hazard and safety notices listed in this manual and/or on this
generator, call 1-866-460-9436, Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 4 PM Central Time.
WARNING:
Do not connect this generator to a home or office electrical system. Connecting a generator to your electric utility
company's power lines or to another power source could damage your generator and your appliances and could cause serious injury or
even death to you or a utility worker who may be working on nearby power lines. Plug your appliances directly into the generator, do not
plug the generator into any electric outlet in your home. Doing so could create a connection to the utility company power lines. You are
responsible for ensuring that your generator's electricity does not feed back into the electric utility power lines.
WARNING:
Do not use this generator to provide power for emergency medical equipment or life support devices
Carbon Monoxide Gas:
When in operation, the exhaust from this generator contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas. Carbon monoxide
gas is both odorless and colorless AND may be present even if you do not see or smell gas. Breathing this poison gas can lead to
headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, loss of consciousness and eventually death.
WARNING:
USE THIS GENERATOR ONLY OUTDOORS IN NON-CONFINED AREAS. DO NOT SECURE THE GENERATOR WITH A CHAIN
OR ROPE, AS THIS WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO MOVE IN AN EMERGENCY.
• Keep at least several feet of clearance on all sides to allow proper ventilation for this generator.
Usage:
Avoid the use of extension cords if possible. If you choose to use them, be sure they are sized adequately to handle the flow of
electricity. An undersized cord can overheat, short out and cause a fire.
Powerful Voltage:
This generator produces powerful voltage, which can result in electrocution.
• ALWAYS ground this generator before using it. (See "Ground the Generator" section in this manual).
• Only electrical devices should be plugged into this generator, either directly or with an extension cord. NEVER connect a building electrical
system to this generator without a qualified electrician. Doing so voids your warranty. Such connections must isolate generator power from utility
power and comply with local electrical laws and codes. Failure to comply can create a back feed into utility lines creating an electrocution hazard,
which may result in serious injury or death to utility workers. Such a back feed may cause this generator to explode, burn and create fires when
utility power is restored.
• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in highly conductive areas such as metal decking or steel work. GFCIs are available in-line with some
extension cords.
• Keep generator dry and operate with dry hands. Do not use this generator in wet conditions (rain, snow, active sprinkler system, wet hands, etc.).
• Do not touch bare wires or outlets (receptacles).
• Do not allow children or non-qualified persons to operate this generator.
