READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE GENERATOR.
Operation of generator in rain, wet, icy,
or flooded conditions.
Use of worn damaged, undersized or un-
grounded extension cords.
Placing generator on or against highly
conductive surface, such as a steel walk-
way or metal roof.
Improper connection of items to genera-
tor.
Operation of unit when damaged, or with
guards or panels removed.
Water is an excellent conductor of
electricity! Water which comes in
contact with electricity charged
components can transmit electricity to
the frame and other surfaces, resulting
in electrical shock to anyone contact-
ing them.
Contact with worn or damaged extension
cords could result in electrocution.
Use of undersize extension cords could
result in overheating of the wires or at-
tached items, resulting in fire.
Use of ungrounded cordsets could pre-
vent operation of circuit breakers and re-
sult in electrical shock.
Accidental leakage of electrical current
could charge conductive surfaces in con-
tact with the generator.
Exceeding the load capacity of the gen-
erator by attaching too many items, or
items with very high load ratings to it
could result in overheating of some items
or their attachment wiring resulting in fire
or electrical shock.
Attempting to use the unit when it has
been damaged, or when it is not func-
tioning normally could result in fire or
electrocution.
Removal of guarding could expose elec-
trically charged components and result
in electrocution.
Operate generator in a clean, dry, well
ventilated area. Make sure hands are
dry before touching unit.
Inspect extension cords before use
and replace with new if required.
Use proper size (wire gauge) cordset
for application.
Always use electrically grounded
cordset.
Place generator on low conductivity
surface such as a concrete slab.
Read the load rating chart and instruc-
tions on page 9, 10 and 11. Make sure
that the sum of electrical loads for all
attachments does not exceed the
load rating of the generator.
Do not operate generator with me-
chanical or electrical problem. Have
unit repaired by an Authorized Ser-
vice Center.
Do not operate generator with protec-
tive guarding removed.
