General Precautions
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Do not expose generator to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a generator will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the power cord. Keep power cords away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace
damaged power cords immediately. Damaged power cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W'. These extension
cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of electric shock.
All connections and conduits from the generator to the load must only be installed by trained and licensed
electricians, and in compliance with all relevant local, state, and federal electrical codes and standards, and
other regulations where applicable.
The generator must be earth-grounded for fixed installations in accordance with all relevant electrical codes
and standards before operation.
Do not attempt to connect or disconnect load connections while standing in water, or wet or soggy ground.
Do not touch electrically energized parts of the generator and interconnecting cables or conductors with any
part of the body, or with any non-insulated conductive object.
Connect the generator only to a load or electrical system (110/120 volt) that is compatible with the electrical
characteristics and rated capacities of the generator.
Before servicing equipment powered by the generator, disconnect the equipment from its power input.
Keep all electrical equipment clean and dry. Replace any wiring where the insulation is cracked, cut abraded
or otherwise degraded. Replace terminals that are worn, discolored, or corroded. Keep terminals clean and
tight.
Insulate all connections and disconnected wires.
Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges,
and refrigerator enclosures.
PersenaJSafety
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a generator. Do not use
generator while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating generators may result in serious personal injury.
