Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas. - Page 6 WARNING Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) will pull hand and arm toward engine faster than you can let go which could cause broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains resulting in serious injury. • When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
- Page 7 WARNING • This generator does not meet U. S. Coast Guard Regulation 33CFR-183 and should not be used on marine applications. • Failure to use the appropriate U. S. Coast Guard approved generator could result in death or serious injury. WARNING Generator voltage could cause electrical shock or burn resulting in death or serious injury.
