also  may  require  proper  grounding  of  the  generator  electrical 

system. 

*In case of accident caused by electric shock, immediately shut

down the source of electrical power, if this is not possible, attempt 

to  free  the  victim  from  the  live  conductor. 

AVOID  DIRECT 

CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM

. Use a non-conducting implement, 

such as a rope or board, to free the victim from the live conductor. 

If  the  victim  is  unconscious,  apply  first  aid  and  get  immediate 

medical help. 

*Never  wear  jewelry  when  working  on  this  equipment.  Jewelry

can  conduct  electricity  resulting  in  electric  shock,  or  may  get 

caught in moving components causing injury. 

FIRE HAZARDS 

*For fire safety, the generator must be operated and maintained

properly.  Operation  must  always  comply  with  applicable  codes, 

standards, laws and regulations. Adhere strictly to local, state and 

national  electrical  and  building  codes.  Comply  with  regulations 

the  occupational  safety  and  health  administration  (OSHA)  has 

established. Also, ensure that the construction of the generator or 

change  controls  which  might  create  an  unsafe  operating 

condition. 

*Keep  a  fire  extinguisher  near  the  generator  at  all  times.

Extinguishers rated “ABC” by the standby electric system, keep 

the extinguisher properly charged and be familiar with its use. If 

there are any questions pertaining to fire extinguishers, consult 

the local fire department. 

*Gasoline is extremely flammable. Avoid spilling gasoline on HOT

engine. Never add fuel while unit is running or hot. Do not overfill 

the fuel tank. Always allow room for fuel expansion in fuel tank. 

Wipe up spills immediately. Never fill fuel tank indoors. 

EXPLOSION HAZARDS 

*Do not smoke around the generator. Wipe up any fuel or oil spills

immediately. Ensure that no combustible materials are left on or 

near the generator, as FIRE or EXPLOSION may result. Keeps 

the area surrounding the generator clean and free from debris. 

Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and extremely EXPLOSIVE.
