WARNING
Surge Protection
Voltage fluctuation may impair the proper
functioning of sensitive electronic equipment.
Electronic devices, including computers and
many programmable appliances use components
that are designed to operate within a narrow
voltage range and may be affected by momentary
voltage fluctuations. While there is no way to
prevent voltage fluctuations, you can take steps
to protect sensitive electronic equipment.

HAZARD
.
Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a poisonous gas that
could kill you in minutes. You
CANNOT
smell it, see it, or taste
it. Even if you do not smell exhaust
fumes, you could still be exposed
to carbon monoxide gas.
Operate this product
ONLY
outside far away
from windows, doors and vents to reduce
the risk of carbon monoxide gas from
accumulating and potentially being drawn
towards occupied spaces.
•
•
Install battery-operated carbon monoxide
alarms or plug-in carbon monoxide alarms
with battery back-up according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. Smoke alarms
cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
Avoid other generator hazards.
READ MANUAL BEFORE USE.
•
DO NOT
run this product inside homes,
garages, basements, crawlspaces, sheds, or
other partially-enclosed spaces even if using
fans or opening doors and windows for
ventilation. Carbon monoxide can quickly
build up in these spaces and can linger for
hours, even after this product has shut off.
•
ALWAYS
place this product downwind and
p o i n t t h e e n g i n e e x h a u s t a w a y f r o m
occupied spaces. If you start to feel sick,
dizzy, or weak while using this product, shut
it off and get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a
doctor. You may have carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Do not block generator air vents with paper or
other material.
CAUTION
Tilting can cause fuel spillage.
