Be sure new equipment components and repair parts include the current safety signs. Replacement safety signs are available from your Mi-T-M Customer Service Representative. Learn how to operate the machine and how to use controls properly. Do not let anyone operate without instruction. - Page 6 CARBON MONOXIDE - POISONOUS GAS Use generator outdoors, away from open windows, vents, or doors. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide - a poisonous gas that can kill you. You CAN NOT smell or see this gas. Never use a generator in enclosed or partially-enclosed spaces. Generators can produce high levels of carbon monoxide very quickly.
- Page 7 A GFCI will not work on generators that do not have the neutral wire bonded to the frame, or on generators which have not been properly grounded. All Mi-T-M generators have internally bonded ground wires. A GFCI will not work if the unit is not properly grounded.
- Page 8 (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter). Test GFCI before each use, see Op- erations Instructions for further information. If GFCI fails test, DO NOT use your generator. Contact your Mi-T-M Customer Service Represen- tative. Plug appliances directly into the generator. Or, use a heavy duty, outdoor-rated extension cord that is rated (in watts or amps) at least equal to the sum of the connected appliance loads.
- Page 9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, READ THIS OPERATOR’S MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE USING. WHEN USING THIS PRODUCT, THE FOLLOWING BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED: 1. Read all the instructions before using the product. 2.

DANGER IMPROPER CONNECTION EQUIPMENT-GROUNDING CONDUCTOR RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTROCUTION. CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR SERVICE PERSON IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT AS TO WHETHER THE UNIT IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. - Page 14 PREPARING THE GENERATOR ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE CHART Use oil viscosity based on the expected air temperature range during the period between oil changes. Use a high quality detergent oil with API classifications of SJ or higher. Check oil level before each operation and ensure that it is maintained.
- Page 15 PREPARING THE GENERATOR WARNING: DO NOT OVERFILL THE FUEL TANK, LEAVE ROOM FOR THE FUEL TO EXPAND. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS • Purchase gasoline in small quantities and store in clean, approved containers. • To minimize gum deposits in your fuel system and to insure easy starting, do not use gasoline left over from the previous season.
