WARNING
Moving parts could crush and cut.
Starter and other rotating parts
could entangle hands, hair, clothing,
or accessories resulting in serious injury.
• NEVER operate generator without protective housings, covers, or
guards in place.
• DO NOT wear loose clothing, jewelry or anything that could be
caught in the starter or other rotating parts.
• Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
• Before servicing, remove control board fuse from control panel
and disconnect
Negative
(
NEG
or
‑
) battery cable.
WARNING
Hot pressurized coolant could cause serious injury.
• DO NOT open radiator cap when hot.
• Before servicing, allow coolant to cool.
CAUTION
Installing the 15A fuse could cause the engine
to start at any time without warning resulting in minor or
moderate injury.
• Observe that the control board fuse has been removed from the
control panel for shipping.
• DO NOT install this fuse until all plumbing and wiring has been
completed and inspected.
CAUTION
Excessively high operating speeds could result in
minor injury and/or equipment damage.
Excessively low speeds impose a heavy load on generator.
• DO NOT tamper with governed speed. Generator supplies correct
rated frequency and voltage when running at governed speed.
• DO NOT modify generator in any way.
NOTICE
Exceeding generators wattage/amperage capacity could
damage generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.
• Start generator and let engine stabilize before connecting
electrical loads.
NOTICE
Improper treatment of generator could damage it and
shorten its life.
• Use generator only for intended uses.
• If you have questions about intended use, contact your
authorized dealer.
• Operate generator only on level surfaces.
• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilating air is
critical to correct generator operation.
• The access panels/door must be installed whenever the unit
is running.
• DO NOT expose generator to excessive moisture, dust, dirt, or
corrosive vapors.
• Remain alert at all times while working on this equipment.
Never work on the equipment when you are physically or
mentally fatigued.
• DO NOT start engine with air cleaner or air cleaner cover removed.
• DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots.
• DO NOT use the generator or any of its parts as a step. Stepping
on the unit could cause stress and break parts. This may result in
dangerous operating conditions from leaking exhaust gases, fuel
leakage, oil leakage, etc.
• If connected devices overheat, turn them off and disconnect them
from generator.
• Shut off generator if:
-electrical output is lost;
-equipment sparks, smokes, or emits flames;
-unit vibrates excessively.
-unit makes unusual noises.
WARNING
Exhaust heat/gases could ignite combustibles or
structures resulting in death or serious injury.
Contact with muffler area could cause burns
resulting in serious injury.
• DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• Exhaust outlet side of weatherproof enclosure must have at least
5 ft. (1.5m) minimum clearance from any structure, shrubs, trees
or any kind of vegetation.
• Standby generator weatherproof enclosure must be at least
5 ft. (1.5m) from windows, doors, any wall opening, shrubs or
vegetation over 12 inches (30.5 cm) in height.
• Standby generator weatherproof enclosure must have a minimum
of 5 ft. (1.5 m) overhead clearance from any structure, overhang,
or trees.
• DO NOT place weatherproof enclosure under a deck or other type
of structure that may confine airflow.
• Use only flexible fuel line provided. Connect provided fuel line to
generator. DO NOT use with or substitute any other flexible
fuel line.
• Smoke detector(s) MUST be installed and maintained indoors
according to the manufacturer’s instructions/recommendations.
Carbon monoxide alarms cannot detect smoke.
• Keep at least minimum distances shown in
General Location
Guidelines
to insure for proper generator cooling and
maintenance clearances.
• Replacement parts must be the same and installed in the same
position as the original parts.
