Operator Safety
Equipment Description
Read this manual carefully and become familiar
with your generator. Know its applications, its
limitations and any hazards involved.
The generator is an engine–driven, revolving field, alternating
current (AC) generator. It was designed to supply electrical
power for operating compatible electrical lighting, appliances,
tools and motor loads. The generator’s revolving field is
driven at about 3,600 rpm by a single-cylinder engine.
This generator incorporates GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter) outlet protection and has its neutral bonded to
ground to comply to OSHA inspections on job sites. This
generator will not function when connected to a 2 pole
transfer switch since the home or building main breaker box
also has a neutral bonded to ground. When both the
generator and the home or building breaker box contains a
neutral bonded to ground, the generators GFCI will open and
no outlets will function.
NOTICE
Exceeding generators wattage/amperage capacity
could damage generator and/or electrical devices connected
to it.
• DO NOT exceed the generator’s wattage / amperage capacity. See
Don’t Overload Generator
in the
Operation
section.
Every effort has been made to ensure that the information in
this manual is both accurate and current. However, the
manufacturer reserves the right to change, alter or otherwise
improve the generator and this documentation at any time
without prior notice.
The Emission Control System for this generator is warranted
for standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency
and the California Air Resources Board.
Important Safety Information
The manufacturer cannot possibly anticipate every possible
circumstance that might involve a hazard. The warnings in
this manual, and the tags and decals affixed to the unit are,
therefore, not all-inclusive. If you use a procedure, work
method or operating technique that the manufacturer does
not specifically recommend, you must satisfy yourself that it
is safe for you and others. You must also make sure that the
procedure, work method or operating technique that you
choose does not render the generator unsafe.
Safety Symbols and Meanings

injury hazard. A signal word (DANGER, WARNING, or
