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.

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.
