Electric Shock Hazards; Fire And Burn Hazards - Honda EB5000i Owner's Manual

Electric Shock Hazards

The generator produces enough electric power to cause a serious
shock or electrocution if misused.
Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet conditions, such as
rain or snow, or near a pool or sprinkler system, or when your hands
are wet, could result in electrocution. Keep the generator dry.
If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the weather,
check the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), and all other
electrical components on the control panel, before each use.
Moisture or ice can cause a malfunction or short circuit in electrical
components which could result in electrocution.
Do not connect an EB5000i or EB7000i generator to a home or
building's electrical system.

Fire and Burn Hazards

The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials.
− Keep the generator at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from buildings
and other equipment during operation.
− Do not enclose the generator in any structure.
− Keep flammable materials away from the generator.
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for
a while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler
while it is hot. Let the engine cool before storing the generator
indoors.
