General Precautions (cont’d)
Gasoline and Oil (cont’d)
Excessive buildup of unburned fuel gases in the exhaust system can
create a potentially explosive condition. This buildup can occur after
repeated failed start attempts, valve testing, or hot engine shutdown. If
this occurs, open exhaust system drain plugs, if equipped, and allow the
gases to dissipate before attempting to restart the generator.
Hot Components
Power Output
This generator is not designed to power sensitive electronic equipment
(including computers and medical devices) without the addition of an
approved line conditioner, which is sold separately.
WARNING! ENGINE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM PARTS BECOME VERY
HOT AND REMAIN HOT FOR SOME TIME AFTER THE ENGINE IS RUN.
WEAR INSULATED GLOVES OR WAIT UNTIL THE ENGINE AND
EXHAUST SYSTEM HAVE COOLED BEFORE HANDLING THESE
PARTS.
CAUTION: ATTEMPTING TO POWER SENSITIVE
ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT WITHOUT THE USE OF AN
APPROVED LINE CONDITIONER MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO
THE EQUIPMENT. NIKOTA USA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR
ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT DAMAGE CAUSED BY FAILURE
TO USE AN APPROVED LINE CONDITIONER.
Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches
and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or
dust. Generators create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a
generator. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
