Specific Safety Rules - Black Max BMi900LP Operator's Manual

DANGER:
Never disconnect the propane cylinder when unit is run-
ning. Shut off engine and allow the unit to cool at least
five minutes.
WARNING:
When this generator is used to supply a building
wiring system: generator must be installed by a quali-
fied electrician and connected to a transfer switch as
a separately derived system in accordance with NFPA
70, National Electrical Code. The generator shall be
connected through a transfer switch that switches all
conductors other than the equipment grounding con-
ductor. The frame of the generator shall be connected to
an approved grounding electrode. Failure to isolate the
generator from power utility can result in death or injury
to electric utility workers.
 Do not use this generator to provide power for emergency
medical equipment or life support devices.
 This generator has a neutral floating condition. This means
the neutral conductor is not electrically connected to the
frame of the machine.
 Always use a battery-powered carbon monoxide detec-
tor when running the generator. If you begin to feel sick,
dizzy, or weak while using the generator, shut it off and
get to fresh air immediately. See a doctor. You may have
carbon monoxide poisoning.
 Place the generator on a flat, stable surface with a slope
of no more than 4°.
 Operate outdoors in a well-ventilated, well-lit area isolated
from working areas to avoid noise interference.
 Operating the generator in wet conditions could result in
electrocution. Keep the unit dry.
 Keep the generator a minimum of 3 feet away from all
types of combustible material.
 Do not operate generator near hazardous material.
 Do not operate generator at a gas or natural gas filling
station.
 Do not touch the muffler or cylinder during or immediately
after use; they are HOT and will cause burn injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

5 — English
 Do not remove the oil dipstick when the engine is running.
 Pay close attention to all safety labels located on the
generator.
 Keep children a minimum of 10 feet away from the gen-
erator at all times.
 The unit operates best in temperatures between 23°F and
104°F with a relative humidity of 90% or less.
 Operating voltage and frequency requirement of all
electronic equipment should be checked prior to plug-
ging them into this generator. Damage may result if the
equipment is not designed to operate within a +/- 10%
voltage variation, and +/- 3 hz frequency variation from
the generator name plate ratings. To avoid damage, al-
ways have an additional load plugged into the generator
if solid state equipment (such as a television set) is used.
A power line conditioner is recommended for some solid
state applications.
 Use generator only with propane (not included) and the
regulator/valve assembly supplied.
 Check for leaks prior to generator operation. Do this even
if this generator was assembled at the store.
 Do not operate the generator if there is a gas leak present.
 Never use a flame to check for gas leaks.
 Propane gas is not natural gas. Do not try to convert this
generator to natural gas as it will void the warranty and
is extremely dangerous.
 Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the
cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on
the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder
valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage
of propane.
 Do not store propane cylinders, gasoline, or other flam-
mable liquids in the vicinity of the generator.
 Shut down the engine and allow to cool for five minutes
before changing the propane cylinder or adding lubricant
to the generator.
 Do not smoke when attaching or removing the propane
cylinder.
 For outdoor use only.
 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use
them to instruct others who may use this product. If you
loan someone this product, loan them these instructions
also.
