Important Safety Information

•  

   Never run the engine in an enclosed area or without proper 

ventilation as the exhaust from the engine contains carbon 

monoxide, which is an odorless, tasteless, and deadly 

poisonous gas.

•  

   Fill the gasoline tank outdoors with the engine off and allow 

the engine to cool completely.

•  

   Do not operate the engine with the air cleaner or cover over 

the carburetor air-intake removed, except for adjustment.

Removal of such parts could create a fire hazard.

•  

    

The muffler and engine become very hot with use and can 

cause a severe burn; do not touch. Allow the engine to cool 

before refueling, doing maintenance, or making adjustments.

Safety Decals

Safety labels on the portable power generator are to remind 

you of important information while you are operating the
