WARNING
Spark from removed spark plug wire can result in fire or
electrical shock.
When servicing the generator:
Remove spark plug lead and place it where it cannot contact
the plug or any other metal object.
DO NOT check for spark with the plug removed otherwise
electric shock could occur.
Use only approved spark plug testers.
WARNING
Running engines produce heat. Severe burns can occur on
contact. Combustible material can catch fire on contact.
NEVER touch any hot surfaces and always let the engine
cool down for minimum of 30mins.
Avoid contact with hot exhaust gases.
Allow equipment to cool before touching.
Maintain at least 3 ft. (91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides to
ensure adequate cooling.
Maintain at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance from combustible
materials and windows and doors.
WARNING
Rapid retraction of the starter cord will pull hand and arm
towards the engine faster than you can let go. Unintentional
startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or
laceration. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could
result.
When starting the engine using the recoil cord first use 1
soft slow pull until resistance is felt and then 1 strong log
pull to start.
