SAFETY SAFETY INFORMATION Read and understand this owner’s manual before operating your generator. It will help you avoid accidents if you get familiar with your generator’s safe operation procedures. WARNING Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can kill you. You CANNOT smell or see this gas. • Use the generator outdoors, away from open windows, vents, or doors that could allow the carbon monoxide gas to come indoors. Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from any structure or building during use. • NEVER use a generator indoors, including in homes, garages, basements, crawl spaces, and other enclosed or partially- enclosed areas, even with ventilation. Opening doors and windows or using fans will not prevent carbon monoxide build-up in the home. • NEVER use a generator in enclosed or partially-enclosed spaces. Generators can produce high levels of carbon monoxide very quickly. When you use a portable generator, remember that you cannot smell or see carbon monoxide. Even if you can’t smell exhaust fumes, you may still be exposed to carbon monoxide. • NEVER operate the generator in an explosive atmosphere, near combustible materials or where ventilation is not sufficient to carry away exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes can cause serious injury or death. • If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using a generator, get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. DO NOT DELAY. The carbon monoxide from generators can rapidly lead to full incapacitation and death. • If you experience serious symptoms, get medical attention immediately. Inform medical staff that carbon monoxide poisoning is suspected. If you experienced symptoms while indoors, have someone call the fire department to determine when it is safe to ...

SAFETY WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death. WHEN ADDING OR DRAINING FUEL • Observe all safety regulations for the safe handling of fuel. Handle fuel in safety containers. If the container does not have a spout, use a funnel. • Do not overfill the fuel tank, leave room for the fuel to expand. • Do not refill fuel tank while the engine is running. Before refueling the generator, turn it off and let it cool down. Gasoline spilled on hot engine parts could ignite. • Fill the tank only on an area of bare ground. While fueling the tank, keep heat, sparks and open flame away. Carefully clean up any spilled fuel before starting engine. • Always fill fuel tank in an area with plenty of ventilation to avoid inhaling dangerous fumes. • NEVER store fuel for your generator in the home. Gasoline, propane, kerosene, and other flammable liquids should be stored outside of living areas in properly-labeled, non-glass safety containers. Do not store them near a fuel-burning appliance, such as a natural gas water heater in a garage. If the fuel is spilled or the container is not sealed properly, invisible vapors from the fuel can travel along the ground and can be ignited by the appliance’s pilot light or by arcing from electric switches in the appliance. WARNING THERE IS A PERMANENT CONDUCTOR BETWEEN THE GENERATOR (STATOR WINDING) AND THE FRAME.
SAFETY CONNECTION TO A HOME POWER SUPPLY If the generator is to be used as standby home power supply the connection is to be performed by a qualified electrician. When loads are connected to the generator, carefully check whether electrical connections are safe and reliable. Any improper connection may cause damage to the generator or cause a fire. • Keep generator at least 3ft (1m) away from buildings or other structures. • Only operate generators in a dry, well ventilated area. • Keep exhaust pipe clear of foreign objects. • Keep generator away from open flame. No Smoking! • Keep generator on a stable and level surface. • Do not block generator air vents with paper or other material. • Do not place any heavy objects on the generator.
