If this generator is used for emergency standby service it will be
necessary to install a  manual transfer switch between the
electric utilitiy's meter and the building's distribution panel. The
transfer switch isolates the generator and load from the utility
power line, thus avoiding any danger of electricity being fed back
to the utility lines. The installation should be done by a licensed
electrician.

Never operate the machine in an explosive atmosphere, near
combustible materials or where ventilation is not sufficient to carry
away exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes can cause serious injury
or death.

When starting the machine, be sure that nothing is in a position
to be hit by the operators hand or arm.

Be sure the switch on electric power tools is in the “OFF” position
before plugging them into the machine.

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
INJURY

This generator is equipped with a grounding terminal for your
protection. Always complete the ground path from the generator
to an external ground source as instructed in the section labeled
“Grounding the Generator”.

Keep the immediate area free of all bystanders.

Be sure each person who operates this machine is properly
instructed in its safe operation.

Do not operate this machine or any electrical tool in any area
where water or similar materials constitute an electrical hazard
to the operator.  Do not operate on wet surfaces or in the rain.

Always be sure that the machine is on secure footing so that it
cannot slide or shift around, endangering workers.

Avoid contacting the hot exhaust manifold, muffler or cylinder.
Keep clear of all rotating parts.

Unless the tool or appliance is double insulated, ground it. Tools
and appliances which have 3 prong plugs must be plugged into
extension cords and electrical receptacles with 3 holes. Before
operating any electrical item, be sure it is in good repair.

BEWARE OF USING THIS EQUIPMENT IN CONFINED SPACES
Confined spaces, without sufficient fresh air ventilation, can contain
dangerous gases.  Running gasoline engines in such environ-
ments can lead to deadly explosions and/or asphyxiation.

MAINTENANCE

Use HOMELITE genuine replacement parts. Failure to do so may
cause poor fit and injury.

Never operate machine with any guard removed.

Shut off the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before
working on any part of this machine.

Always keep the machine and all associated equipment clean,
properly serviced and maintained.

REFUELING (DO NOT SMOKE!)

Observe all safety regulations for the safe handling of fuel.

Handle fuel in safety containers.

If container does not have a spout, use a funnel.

Do not refill fuel tank while the engine is running.

Fill the tank only on an area of bare ground. While filling the tank,
keep heat, sparks and open flame away. Carefully clean up any
spilled fuel before starting engine.
