To ensure safe operation
Always make a pre-operation inspection (page 18 ) before you start
the engine. You may prevent an accident or equipment damage.
Place the generator at least 1 m (3 ft) away from buildings or other
equipment during operation.
Operate the generator on a level surface.
If the generator is tilted, fuel spillage may result.
Know how to stop the generator quickly and understand operation
of all the controls. Never permit anyone to operate the generator
without proper instructions.
Keep children and pets away from the generator when it is in
operation.
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.
The engine exhaust system will be heated during operation and
remain hot immediately after stopping the engine.
To prevent scalding, pay attention to the warning marks attached
to the generator.
Keep away from rotating parts while the generator is running.
The generator is a potential source of electrical shocks when
misused; do not operate with wet hands.
Do not operate the generator in rain or snow and do not let it get
wet.
