Operating Precautions - Predator 9000 Owner's Manual & Safety Instructions

Set up precautions (continued)
10. Use only lubricants and fuel
recommended in this manual.
11. Improper connections to a building electrical system
can allow electrical current from the Generator
to backfeed into the utility lines. Such backfeed
may electrocute utility company workers or others
who contact the lines during a power outage, and
the Generator may explode, burn, or cause fires
when utility power is restored. Consult the utility
company and a qualified electrician if intending
to use the Generator for back up power.

Operating precautions

1. CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
USING A GENERATOR INDOORS
CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains carbon
monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell.
NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF
doors and windows are open.
Only use OUTSIDE and far away from
windows, doors, and vents.
2. CARBON MONOXIDE SHUTOFF
DANGER! TO pREVENT SERIOUS
INJURY AND DEATH FROM
CARBON MONOXIDE INHALATION:
The Carbon Monoxide sensor is an additional
layer of protection only. Do not use the
Generator in any area or situation that will
allow carbon monoxide to accumulate.
• FLASHING RED LIGHT:
Dangerous levels of carbon monoxide gas have
built up and generator will shutoff.
Leave immediately until area has aired
out. Move Generator to well-ventilated
area before operation.
ITEM 59134 For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.
12. Do not operate the Generator before grounding.
The Generator must be earth-grounded
in accordance with all relevant electrical
codes and standards before operation.
13. Install carbon monoxide alarm(s) with
battery backup in nearby buildings according
to manufacturer's instructions.
• FLASHING YELLOW LIGHT:
Carbon monoxide sensor malfunction.
Sensor needs service. Do not use the
Generator until the sensor is working
properly. For technical questions,
please call 1-888-866-5797.
NOTE: Yellow light flashes once after
starting to indicate passing self-check
and is functioning normally.
Carbon Monoxide sensor must only be serviced
by qualified technician to restore it to original
settings. Do not modify or tamper with the
Carbon Monoxide sensor. Not following these
instructions can result in death or serious injury
due to Carbon Monoxide sensor malfunction.
3. Never use a generator indoors, including in
garages, basements, crawlspaces and sheds.
Opening doors and windows or using fans will NOT
prevent carbon monoxide build up in the home.
4. When using generators, keep them outdoors
and far away from open doors, windows,
and vents to avoid toxic levels of carbon
monoxide from building up indoors.
5. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while
using a generator, get to fresh air right away.
The carbon monoxide from generators can
quickly lead to full incapacitation and death.
6. Keep children away from the equipment,
especially while it is operating.
7. Keep all spectators at least six feet
from the Engine during operation.
8. Do not touch engine during use.
Let engine cool down after use.
9. Never store fuel or other flammable
materials near the engine.
