WARNING

If there is a strong smell of LPG: Close valve on the cylinder. 
Check all connections for leaks by wetting the fittings 
with a solution of soap and water. Bubbles which appear 
or bubbles which grow indicate that a leak exists. Do not 
smoke or light a cigarette, or check for leaks using a match, 
open flame source or lighter. Contact a qualified technician 
to inspect and repair an LPG system if a leak is found, 
before using the generator.

Grounding

Your generator must be properly connected to an appropriate 
ground to help prevent electric shock.

 

WARNING

Failure to properly ground the generator can result in 
electric shock.

A ground terminal connected to the frame of the generator has 
been provided (see Controls and Features for terminal location). 
For remote grounding, connect of a length of heavy gauge 
(12 AWG minimum) copper wire between the generator ground 
terminal and a copper rod driven into the ground. We strongly 
recommend that you consult with a qualified electrician to 
ensure compliance with local electrical codes.

Neutral Floating*

 

Neutral circuit 

IS NOT

 electrically connected to the frame/

ground of the generator.

 

The generator (stator winding) is isolated from the frame 
and from the AC receptacle ground pin.

 

Electrical devices that require a grounded receptacle pin 
connection will not function if the receptacle ground pin is 
not functional.

Neutral Bonded to Frame*

 

Neutral circuit 

IS

 electrically connected to the frame/ground 

of the generator.

 

The generator system ground connects lower frame 
cross-member below the alternator. The system ground is 
connected to the AC neutral wire.

* See your Specifications section for specified type of grounding.

OPERATION

CO Shield

®

 - Carbon Monoxide (CO) 

Detection and Auto-shutoff System

The CO Shield

®

 technology monitors the accumulation of 

poisonous CO gas produced by engine exhaust when the 
generator is running. If CO Shield detects elevated levels of 
CO gas, it automatically shuts off the engine. Generators are 
intended to be used outdoors, far away from occupied buildings 
and exhaust pointed away from people and buildings.

25 ft. / 7 m

If misused and operated in a location that results in the 
accumulation of CO inside an enclosed or partially enclosed 
space, for example a house, garage or a garage with the 
door partially open, CO Shield will automatically shut off the 
generator and then illuminate a red LED.  Read the action label 
for what steps to take. 

CO Shield is not a substitute for an 

indoor carbon monoxide alarm.

Move generator to an open, outdoor area. Point exhaust away. Don’t run generators 

in enclosed areas (e.g. not in house or garage).

Mover el generador a un área abierta a la intemperie. Apunte el escape alejado. No corra los 

generadores en áreas cerradas (ej. no en una casa o garaje).

Déplacer le générateur vers un espace extérieur 

en plein air. Garder l’échappement loin. Ne pas

When you approach the generator to investigate a shut off, a 
blinking 

red

 LED light in the CO Shield area provides notification 

that the generator shut off due to an accumulating CO hazard. 
The red LED light will blink for at least five (5) minutes after a 
shutoff event.
