ENGINE LUBRICANT WARNING
You must add lubricant before first op-
erating the generator. Always check the
lubricant level before each operation. The
lubricant level should always register be-
tween the hatched areas on the dipstick.
The unit is equipped with a sensor which
will automatically shut off the engine if the
lubricant level falls below a safe limit.
FUEL CAP WARNING
Never remove fuel cap when unit is running. Shut off engine and allow the unit
to cool at least five minutes. Remove cap slowly to release any pressure built
up in the fuel system and to avoid the heat from the muffler igniting fuel vapors.
GROUNDING WARNING
This generator does not include a ground rod or copper wire. Call a qualified
electrician for local grounding requirements.
STORAGE NOTICE
Always store the generator standing on its feet. Never store the unit on its side
or in a vertical position.
CLEARANCE WARNING
While operating and storing, keep at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides of this
product, including overhead. Allow a minimum of 30 minutes of "cool down" time
before storage. Heat created by muffler and exhaust gases could be hot enough
to cause serious burns and/or ignite combustible objects.
SPARK ARRESTOR
Operation of this equipment may create sparks that can
start fires around dry vegetation. A spark arrestor may be
required. The operator should contact local fire agencies for
laws or regulations relating to fire prevention requirements.
