SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
• DO NOT operate the generator in an enclosed building
or in a partly enclosed area such as a garage.
• DO NOT operate the generator if exhaust gases cannot
be discharged away from the RV or other vehicles.
• Do not block the exhaust pipe. Do not park the RV where
exhaust gases can accumulate either outside, under-
neath or inside the RV or other vehicles.
• Make sure exhaust gases are clear of walls, snow banks
or any obstructions that can prevent exhaust gases from
dissipating.
• DO NOT operate the generator when the RV is parked in
high grass or brush. Heat from the exhaust could cause
a fire in dry conditions.
• DO NOT operate the generator when parked in close
proximity to vegetation, snow, buildings, vehicles, or any
other object could deflect the exhaust under or into the
vehicle.
• DO NOT simultaneously operate the generator and a
powered ventilator which could result in the entry of
exhaust gas. When exhaust ventilators are used, open a
window on the opposite side of the RV upwind of ex-
haust gases to provide cross ventilation. When parked,
position the RV so that the wind will carry the exhaust
away from the RV.
• DO NOT open nearby windows, ventilators, or doors into
the passenger compartment, especially those down-
wind, even part of the time. Never operate your tow
vehicle or generator engine longer than necessary when
parked.
• DO NOT fill the fuel tank while the generator is running.
Fuel contact with the hot generator or exhaust is a fire
hazard.
• DO NOT smoke or have an open flame near the genera-
tor or fuel tank.
• Never store anything in the generator compartment.
Always keep the compartment clean and dry.
• DO NOT start the generator while a load is connected.
Make sure the MAIN circuit breakers are OFF before
starting.
DO NOT OPERATE
THE GENERATOR WHILE
YOU ARE SLEEPING.
You will not be able to
monitor outside conditions
to assure that engine
exhaust gases are being
safely dissipated and
are not entering the RV
interior. You will not be
alert to exhaust odors or
the symptoms of Carbon
Monoxide poisoning ( see
Occupant Safety section ).
WARNING
DO NOT place or store any
flammable materials in the
generator compartment.
Heat from the generator
may cause this material to
ignite.
DO NOT touch the
generator while it’s running
or immediately after
turning it off. Heat from
the generator can cause
burns. Allow the generator
to cool before attempting
maintenance or service.
