When working on this equipment avoid hot mufflers, exhaust manifolds and engine 
parts which can cause severe burns. Installing and wiring a home standby generator is 
not a do it yourself project. Consult a qualified licensed electrician or contractor. 

 

This installation must comply with all national state providence and local codes. Do not 
connect a generator to a home building except through an approved disconnect switch. 

 

When working around engines use noise suppression equipment and wear protective 
devices as necessary. Excessive noise is not only tiring, but continual exposure can lead 
to loss of hearing. 

 

Keep you neighbours in mind when noise level is high. Keep generator and surrounding 
areas clean. 

 

Remove oily rags and other material that create potential fire hazard. Consult the local 
fire department. 

 

Extinguishers rated ABC by the NFPA are appropriate for all applications. Consult the 
local fire department. 

 

Keep Extinguisher properly maintained and be familiar with its proper care. The 
manufacturer recommends that all service including the installation or replacement of 
service parts be performed only by a qualified electrical service person. Use only factory 
approved repair parts. 

 

Do not operate this unit in an enclosed compartment such as found in recreational 
vehicles or inside box trucks with only the rear open door. All warranties are voided if 
the unit is operated in any of the previously mentioned enclosures. Operate only 
outside in a well ventilated area.
