IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction)
will pull hand and arm toward engine
faster than you can let go which could
cause broken bones, fractures, bruises,
or sprains resulting in serious injury.
When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resis-
tance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices
plugged in and turned on.
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive which could cause burns, fire, or explosion
resulting in death or serious injury and/or property
damage.
WHEN ADDING OR DRAINING FUEL
Turn generator engine OFF and let it cool at least
2 minutes before removing fuel cap.
Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.
Fill or drain fuel tank outdoors.
DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.
If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting
engine.
Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames.
Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings.
DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
WHEN STARTING EQUIPMENT
Ensure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap, and air cleaner
are in place.
DO NOT crank engine with spark plug removed.
WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT
DO NOT operate this product inside any building,
carport, porch, mobile equipment, marine applica-
tions, or enclosure.
DO NOT tip engine or equipment at angle which
causes fuel to spill.
DO NOT stop engine by moving choke control to
"Start" position.
WHEN TRANSPORTING, MOVING OR
REPAIRING EQUIPMENT
Transport/move/repair with fuel tank EMPTY or with
fuel shutoff valve OFF.
DO NOT tip engine or equipment at angle which
cause fuel to spill.
Disconnect spark plug wire.
WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH
FUEL IN TANK
Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters,
clothes dryers, or other applications that have pilot
light or other ignition source because they could
ignite fuel vapors.
Generator voltage could cause electrical
shock or burn resulting in death or serious
injury.
Use approved transfer equipment, suitable for the
intended use, to prevent backfeed by isolating
generator from electric utility workers.
