Setup precautions

1.  Gasoline fuel and fumes are flammable, and 

potentially explosive.  Use proper fuel storage 

and handling procedures.  Do not store fuel 

or other flammable materials nearby.

2.  Have multiple ABC class fire extinguishers nearby.
3.  Operation of this equipment may create sparks that 

can start fires around dry vegetation.  

A spark arrestor may be required. The operator 

should contact local fire agencies for laws or 

regulations relating to fire prevention requirements.

4.  Set up and use only on a flat, level, 

well-ventilated surface.

5.  All connections and conduits from the Generator 

to the load must only be installed by trained and 

licensed electricians, and in compliance with all 

relevant local, state, and federal electrical codes and 

standards, and other regulations where applicable.

6.  Connections for standby power to a building 

electrical system must be made by a qualified 

electrician. The connection must isolate the 

Generator power from utility power, and must 

comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.

7.  Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, heavy-duty 

work gloves, and dust mask/respirator during set up.

8.  Use only lubricants and fuel recommended 

in the Specifications chart of this manual.

9.  Improper connections to a building electrical system 

can allow electrical current from the Generator 

to backfeed into the utility lines. Such backfeed 

may electrocute utility company workers or others 

who contact the lines during a power outage, 

and the Generator may explode, burn, or cause 

fires when utility power is restored. Consult 

the utility company and a qualified electrician if 

intending to use the Generator for back up power.

10. Do not operate the Generator before grounding. 

The Generator must be earth-grounded 

in accordance with all relevant electrical 

codes and standards before operation.

CarBOn MOnOXiDE inHaLaTiOn: 

The Carbon Monoxide sensor is an additional 

layer of protection only.  Do not use the 

Generator in any area or situation that will 

allow carbon monoxide to accumulate.

•  FLASHING RED LIGHT: 

Dangerous levels of carbon monoxide gas have 

built up and generator will shutoff.   

Leave immediately until area has aired 

out. Move Generator to well-ventilated 

area before operation.

•  FLASHING YELLOW LIGHT: 

Carbon monoxide sensor malfunction. 

Sensor needs service.  Do not use the 

Generator until the sensor is working 

properly.  For technical questions, 

please call 1-888-866-5797.

Carbon Monoxide sensor must only be serviced 

by qualified technician to restore it to original 

settings.  Do not modify or tamper with the 

Carbon Monoxide sensor. not following these 

instructions can result in death or serious injury 

due to Carbon Monoxide sensor malfunction.

3.  Never use a generator indoors, including in 

garages, basements, crawl spaces and sheds. 

Opening doors and windows or using fans will NOT 

prevent carbon monoxide build up in the home.

4.  When using generators, keep them outdoors 

and far away from open doors, windows, 

and vents to avoid toxic levels of carbon 

monoxide from building up indoors.

5.  If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while 

using a generator, get to fresh air right away. 

The carbon monoxide from generators can 

quickly lead to full incapacitation and death.

6.  Keep children away from the equipment, 

especially while it is operating.
