WARNING
: If this generator is used as a supply for a BUILDING’S WIRING SYSTEM, the generator
MUST be installed by a qualified electrician and connected to a transfer switch as a separately derived
system in accordance with all applicable laws and electrical codes and the National Electrical Code,
NFPA 70. The generator shall be connected to a transfer switch that switches all conductors exclud-
ing the equipment grounding conductor. The frame of the generator shall be connected to an approved
grounding electrode.
WARNING : RISK OF EXPLOSION. HIGHLY FLAMMABLE
: This generator may emit highly flam-
mable and explosive gasoline vapors, which can cause severe burns or even death, if ignited. A nearby
open flame can lead to explosion even if not directly in contact with gasoline.
• Do not operate near open flame, heat, or any other ignition source. Do not smoke near generator.
• Always operate on a firm, level surface.
• Always turn generator off before refueling. Allow generator to cool for at least 2 minutes before re-
moving fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.
• Do not overfill fuel tank. Gasoline may expand during operation. Do not fill to the top of the tank. Allow
for expansion. Always check for spilled fuel before operating.
• If fuel spills, move the generator at least 30 feet away from the spill and wipe clean any spilled fuel
before starting the engine.
• Empty fuel tank before storing or transporting the generator.
GENERATOR SAFETY WARNINGS
DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE
Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monox-
ide (CO). This is a poison gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are
breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.
NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawl spaces, or other partially enclosed areas. Deadly
levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors does
NOT supply enough fresh air. ONLY use a generator OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors, and
vents. These openings can pull in generator exhaust.
Even if you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or
battery-backup CO alarm in the home. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has
been running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
