SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
In order to ensure safety for the consumer,
please carefully follow instructions on being
careful with the generators.
Operate the generator ONLY outdoors. Never
run the generator indoors as the engine gives
off poisonous carbon monoxide, an odorless
and colorless gas. Inhaling carbon monoxide
will cause nausea, fainting or death. Also, keep
the generator at least 3 feet away from
flammable matter for adequate ventilation.
DANGER
Always properly ground the generator. Failing
to do so can result in electrocution, particularly
if the generator is equipped with a wheel kit.
ELECTRIC SHOCK AND SHORT CIRCUIT
Be sure to notify the utility company when using
the generator for backup power. Use approved
transfer equipment to isolate the generator from
electric utility. In highly conductive area such as
metal decking or steel work, use a ground
circuit fault interrupter. Never touch the
generator if the generator is wet. Also, never
touch the generator if your hand is wet. Never
operate your generator if the weather
conditions call for any type of precipitation such
as rain, snow, or fog.
PREVENTION FROM ACCIDENTAL BURNS
Never touch the muffler and its cover when the
engine is running. Never touch the muffler and
cover after the engine has been used, as the
muffler remains hot for a good period of time.
REFUELING PRECAUTIONS
Gasoline and its vapors are extremely
flammable. Do not smoke near gasoline and
keep gasoline away from generator while the
generator is running. When adding fuel, turn the
generator off and let it cool at least 2 minutes
before removing the gas cap. Loosen gas cap
slowly to relieve the pressure in the tank.
Fill fuel tank outdoors and never overfill the
tank.
