Safety
Always ensure that the operators have been properly trained prior to using the equipment.
Children and small animals should never be present in the work area during operation of a
Bartell Electric Generator.
Always check your Bartell Electric Generator for loose or missing nuts and bolts before starting.
Tighten any loose fasteners and replace missing or broken parts.
Perform all routine maintenance as described within this manual. Failure to do so will void your
warranty and will eventually result in premature equipment failure.
Never perform maintenance on a running piece of equipment. Shut down the engine and allow
it to cool before servicing a Bartell Electric Generator, including mechanical work or lubrication.
Always replace missing, damaged, or unclear safety labels to ensure operator awareness and
safety.
Never operate a Bartell Electric Generator with missing or damaged safety guards. Replace
immediately with appropriate Bartell parts.
Never wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry around rotating equipment as it may become
entangled in the machinery, resulting in serious injury.
Never fuel a Bartell Electric Generator while the engine is running. Ensure the engine has
cooled sufficiently before refueling to avoid igniting gasoline fumes.
Always refuel a Bartell Electric Generator in a well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources
such as sparks, flames, and lit cigarettes. Smoking while fueling the equipment may result in
explosion.
Never operate a Bartell Electric Generator in explosive environments such as those where paint
fumes, methane, natural gas, fine particulate, aerosol propellant, or solvent fumes are present.
Never smoke near a Bartell Electric Generator as stray gasoline fumes may ignite. Operating a
Bartell Electric Generator around an open flame may also result in explosion.
Always shut down the engine and allow it to cool before lifting or transporting a Bartell Electric
Generator.
Always tie down a Bartell Electric Generator when being transported in a truck or on a flatbed.
Empty the fuel tank if transporting over long distances.
