WARNING
:
This generator may emit highly flammable and explosive gasoline vapors,
which can cause severe burns or even death. A nearby open flame can lead to an
explosion even if not directly in contact with gasoline.
●
Do not operate near an open flame.
●
Do not smoke near the generator.
●
Always operate on a firm, level surface.
●
Always turn the generator off before refueling.
●
Allow generator to cool for at least 2 minutes before removing the fuel cap. Loosen
cap slowly to relieve pressure in the tank.
●
Do not overfill the gas tank. Gas may expand during operation. Do not fill to the top
of the tank.
●
Always check for spilled gas before operating.
●
Empty the gasoline tank before storing or transporting the generator.
●
Before transporting, turn the fuel valve to the off position and disconnect
the spark plug.
WARNING:
This generator produces a powerful voltage, which can result in electrocution.
●
ALWAYS ground the generator before using it (see the “Grounding the Generator”
portion of the “PREPARlNG THE GENERATOR FOR USE”).
●
The generator should only be plugged into electrical devices, either directly or with
an extension cord. NEVER connect to a building electrical system without a qualified
electrician. Such connections must comply with local electrical laws and codes. Failure
to comply can create a backflow of power, which may result in serious injury or death
to utility workers.
●
Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in highly conductive areas such as metal
decking or steelwork. GFCls are available in-line with some extension cords.
●
Do not use uncovered in rainy or wet conditions.
●
Do not touch bare wires or receptacles (outlets).
●
Do not allow children or non-qualified persons to operate.
