OPERATION OF GENERATOR IN RAIN, WET, ICY, OR FLOODED
CONDITIONS.
Water is an excellent conductor of electricity! Water which comes in
contact with electrically charged components can transmit electricity to
the frame and other surfaces, resulting in electrical shock to anyone
contacting them.
Operate generator in a clean, dry, well ventilated area. Make sure
hands are dry before touching unit.
TAMPERING WITH FACTORY SET ENGINE SPEED SETTINGS.
Engine speed has been factory set to provide safe operation.
Tampering with the engine speed adjustment could result in
overheating of attachments and could cause a fire.
Never attempt to "speed-up" the engine to obtain more performance.
Both the output voltage and frequency will be thrown out of standard by
this practice, endangering attachments and the user.
IMPROPER CONNECTION OF ITEMS TO GENERATOR.
Exceeding the load capacity of the generator by attaching too many
items, or items with very high load ratings to it could result in over-
heating of some items or their attachment wiring resulting in fire or
electrical shock. Make sure that the sum total of electrical loads for all
attachments does not exceed the load rating of the generator.
ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE FUEL TANK WHILE THE ENGINE IS
RUNNING.
Gasoline and gasoline vapors can become ignited by coming in contact
with hot components such as the muffler, engine exhaust gases, or
from an electrical spark.
Turn engine off and allow it to cool before adding fuel to the tank. Equip
area of operation with a fire extinguisher certified to handle gasoline or
fuel fires.
PROPANE WARNINGS (Liquefied Petroleum Gas -LPG):
1) LPG IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
2) Flammable gas under pressure can cause fire or explosion if ignited.
3) LPG is heavier than air and can settle in low places while
dissipating.
4) LPG has a distinctive odor added to help detect potential leaks.
5) In any petroleum gas fire, flames should not be extinguished unless
by doing so the fuel supply valve can be turned OFF. This is
because if a fire is extinguished and a supply of fuel is not turned
OFF, then an explosion hazard could be created.
6) When exchanging LPG tank, be sure the tank valve is of the same
type.
7) Always keep the LPG tank in an upright position.
8) LPG will burn skin if it comes in contact with it. Keep any and all LPG
away from skin at all times.
SPARKS, FIRE, HOT OBJECTS
Cigarettes, sparks, fires, or other hot objects can cause gasoline or
gasoline vapors to ignite.
Add fuel to tank in well ventilated area. Make sure there are no sources
of ignition near the generator.
INADEQUATE VENTILATION FOR GENERATOR
Materials placed under, against or near the generator or operating the
generator in areas where the temperature exceeds 40° C ambient
(such as storage rooms or garages) can interfere with its proper
ventilation features causing overheating and possible ignition of the
materials or buildings.
Operate generator in a clean, dry, well ventilated area a minimum of
four feet from any building, object or wall. DO NOT OPERATE UNIT
INDOORS OR IN ANY CONFINED AREA.
SPECIFIC
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
RISK OF BREATHING - INHALATION HAZARD
Operate generator in clean, dry, well ventilated area. Never operate
unit in enclosed areas such as garages, basements, storage, sheds, or
in any location occupied by humans or animals.
Keep children, pets and others away from area of operating unit.
Breathing exhaust fumes will cause serious injury or death. Gasoline
engines produce toxic carbon monoxide exhaust fumes.
USE OF WORN, DAMAGED, UNDERSIZED OR UNGROUNDED
EXTENSION CORDS.
Contact with worn or damaged extension cords could result in
electrocution. Use of undersize extension cords could result in over-
heating of the wires or attached items, resulting in fire.
Use of ungrounded extension cords could prevent operation of circuit
breakers and result in electrical shock.
Inspect extension cords before use and replace with new cord if
required. Use proper size (wire gauge) extension cords for application
as shown below. Always use an extension cords having a grounding wire
with an appropriate grounding plug. DO NOT use an ungrounded plug.
An extension cord that is hot to the touch is overloaded. Repair or
replace damaged extension cords immediately.
AIR CLEANER FILTER
Never run the engine without the air cleaner filter installed properly.
LIMIT OPERATION
Limit operation requiring maximum power to 30 minutes maximum. For
continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power of 3000W. Do not
exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle.
DO NOT MODIFY GENERATOR
Do not modify the generator for other purposes than its intended use.
Do not connect generators together in parallel. Do not connect an
extension to the exhaust/muffler pipe.
12V DC OPERATION
The DC receptacle can be used while the AC output is in use. If you
use both at the same time, make sure not to exceed the rated power.
DISPOSAL
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that protects the
environment. Do not throw it in the trash or pour it on the ground. Take
the used motor oil to your local waste disposal service station.
