Set up precautions

1. Gasoline fuel and fumes are flammable, and
potentially explosive. Use proper fuel storage
and handling procedures. Do not store fuel
or other flammable materials nearby.
2. Have multiple ABC class fire extinguishers nearby.
3. Operation of this equipment may create sparks that
can start fires around dry vegetation.
A spark arrestor may be required. The operator
should contact local fire agencies for laws or
regulations relating to fire prevention requirements.
4. Set up and use only on a flat, level,
well-ventilated surface.
5. 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.

6. Connections for standby power to a building
electrical system must be made by a qualified
electrician. The connection must isolate the
generator power from utility power, and must comply
with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
7. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, heavy-duty
work gloves, and dust mask/respirator during set up.
8. Use only lubricants and fuel recommended
in the Specifications chart of this manual.
9. Improper connections to a building electrical system
can allow electrical current from the generator
to backfeed into the utility lines. Such backfeed
may electrocute utility company workers or others
who contact the lines during a power outage,
and the generator may explode, burn, or cause
fires when utility power is restored. Consult
the utility company and a qualified electrician if
intending to use the generator for back up power.
10. Do not operate the Generator before grounding.
The Generator must be earth-grounded
in accordance with all relevant electrical
codes and standards before operation.
