RISK OF ELECTROCUTION AND FIRE
Hazard
What could happen
How to prevent it
Improper storage
of extension cord.
Extension cord can come into
contact with hot engine parts
resulting in damage. Using a
damaged extension cord can
result in electrocution or death.
Remove extension cord from the
generator and store separately
away from generator.
Operation of
generator in
heavy rain, wet,
icy, or flooded
conditions.
Water is an excellent conductor
of electricity! Water which
comes in contact with electrically
charged components can
transmit electricity
to the frame and other surfaces,
resulting in electrical shock to
anyone contacting them.
Operate generator in a clean, dry,
well ventilated area. Make sure
hands are dry before touching
unit.
Placing generator
on or against
highly conductive
surface, such as a
steel walkway or
metal roof.
Accidental leakage of electrical
current could charge conductive
surfaces in contact with the
generator.
Place generator on low
conductivity surface such as a
concrete slab.
ALWAYS operate generator a
minimum of 2 meters from any
conductive surface.
Operation of unit
when damaged,
or with guards or
panels removed.
Attempting to use the unit when
it has been damaged, or when it
is not functioning normally could
result in fire or electrocution.
Removal of guarding could
expose electrically charged
components and result in
electrocution.
Do not operate generator with
mechanical or electrical problem.
Have unit repaired by an
Authorized Service Centre.
Do not operate generator with
protective guarding removed.
