    Safety Instructions WARNING : EXHAUST GAS POISONING Do not operate the generator in poorly ventilated areas such as indoors or tunnels, as the exhaust gas of the engine contains substances that are harmful to human health. Do not direct exhaust fumes at bystanders or buildings. WARNING : ELECTRIC SHOCK Before connecting or disconnecting load cables to/from the output terminal, always turn the output circuit breakers to the OFF position, stop the engine, and remove the ignition key.
  • Page 6 CAUTION : FIRE Do not bring flammable items (such as fuel, gas and paint) or items that are highly combustible near the generator as the muffler, exhaust gas and other parts become extremely hot. Position this generator 3 ft. (1 m) or more from walls or other hindrances, and on a level surface. Do not connect the generator output to indoor wiring.
