WARNING

 Generator produces hazardous voltage. 

 Failure to properly ground generator could result 

in electrocution. 

Failure to isolate generator from utility power could 

result in death or serious injury to electric utility 

workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.

•  When using generator for backup power, notify 

utility company.

•  DO NOT touch bare wires or bare receptacles.
•  DO NOT use generator with electrical cords which are 

worn, frayed, bare or otherwise damaged.

•  DO NOT handle generator or electrical cords while 

standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or 

feet are wet.

•  If you must work around a unit while it is operating, 

stand on an insulated dry surface to reduce the risk of 

a shock hazard.

•  DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to operate 

or service generator.

•  In case of an accident caused by electrical shock, 

immediately shut down the source of electrical power and 

contact the local authorities. 

Avoid direct contact with 

the victim.

•  Despite the safe design of the generator, operating this 

equipment imprudently, neglecting its maintenance or 

being careless could cause possible injury or death.

•  Remain alert at all times while working on this equipment. 

Never work on the equipment when you are physically 

or mentally fatigued.

•  Before performing any maintenance on the generator, 

disconnect the battery cable indicated by a 

NEGATIVE

NEG

 or (

-

) first. When finished, reconnect that cable last.

•  After your system is installed, the generator may crank 

and start without warning any time there is a power 

failure. To prevent possible injury, always set the 

generator’s system switch to 

OFF

, remove the service 

disconnect from the disconnect box AND remove the 

15 Amp fuse BEFORE working on the equipment.

 

WARNING

 Propane and Natural Gas are extremely 

flammable and explosive, which could cause 

burns, fire or explosion resulting in death, 

serious injury and/or property damage.

•  Install the fuel supply system according to NFPA 37 and 

other applicable fuel-gas codes.

•  Before placing the generator into service, the fuel system 

lines must be properly purged and leak tested.

•  After the generator is installed, you should inspect the fuel 

system periodically.

•  NO leakage is permitted.
•  DO NOT operate engine if smell of fuel is present or other 

explosive conditions exist.

•  DO NOT smoke around the generator. Wipe up any oil 

spills immediately. Ensure that no combustible materials 

are left in the generator compartment. Keep the area near 

the generator clean and free of debris.

 

WARNING

 Hazardous Voltage - Contact with power 

lines could cause electric shock or burns, 

resulting in death or serious injury. 

Lifting Hazard / Heavy Object - Could result 

in serious injury.

•  If lifting or hoisting equipment is used, DO NOT contact 

any power lines.

•  DO NOT lift or move generator without assistance.
•  Use lifting pipes as described in 

Lifting the Generator

.

•  DO NOT lift unit by roof as damage to generator 

will occur.
