
If there is a strong smell of LPG: Close valve on the cylinder.
Check all connections for leaks by wetting the fittings with a
solution of soap and water. Bubbles which appear or bubbles
which grow indicate that a leak exists. Do not smoke or light a
cigarette, or check for leaks using a match, open flame source
or lighter. Contact a qualified technician to inspect and repair
an LPG system if a leak is found, before using the generator.

Grounding

Your generator must be properly connected to an appropriate
ground to help prevent electric shock.

Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electric
shock.
A ground terminal connected to the panel of the generator has
been provided (see Controls and Features for terminal location).
For remote grounding, connect a length of heavy gauge
(12 AWG minimum) copper wire between the generator ground
terminal and a copper rod driven into the ground. We strongly
recommend that you consult with a qualified electrician to ensure
compliance with local electrical codes.
Neutral Floating*
– Neutral circuit IS NOT electrically connected to the frame/
ground of the generator.
– The generator (stator winding) is isolated from the frame and
from the AC receptacle ground pin.
– Electrical devices that require a grounded receptacle pin
connection will not function if the receptacle ground pin is not
functional.
Neutral Bonded to Frame*
– Neutral circuit IS electrically connected to the frame/ground of
the generator.
– The generator system ground connects lower frame cross-
member below the alternator. The system ground is connected
to the AC neutral wire.
* See your Specifications section for specified type of grounding.
WARNING
WARNING

OPERATION

CO Shield - Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detection
®

and Auto-shutoff System

CO Shield ® technology monitors the accumulation of carbon
monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas produced by engine exhaust when
the generator is running. If CO Shield
levels of CO gas, it automatically shuts off the engine.
CO SHIELD ® IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR AN INDOOR CARBON
MONOXIDE ALARM OR FOR INDOOR OPERATION.
DO NOT allow engine exhaust fumes to enter a confined area
through windows, doors, vents or other openings.
Generators must ALWAYS be used outdoors, far away from
occupied buildings with engine exhaust pointed away from people
and buildings.
If misused and operated in an unapproved and unsafe location
that results in the accumulation of poisonous CO gas inside
an enclosed or partially enclosed space, for example a house,
garage or a garage with the door partially open, CO Shield
automatically shut off the generator and then will illuminate a
blinking red LED light. Read the action label for next steps.
AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF – YOU MUST:
ARRÊT AUTOMATIQUE – VOUS DEVEZ :
Move generator to an open, outdoor area. Point exhaust away.
Don't run generators in enclosed areas (e.g. not in house or garage).
Déplacer le générateur vers un espace extérieur en plein air. Garder l'échappement loin. Ne pas
faire fonctionner les générateurs dans un espace clos (ex., pas dans une maison ou un garage).
In the event of an engine shut off, when you approach the
generator to investigate, a blinking red LED light in the CO Shield
area provides notification that the generator shut off due to an
accumulating CO hazard. The red LED light will blink for at least
five (5) minutes after an engine shut off event.
