GENERATOR SAFETY
Electric Shock Hazards
• The generator produces enough electric power to cause a serious
shock or electrocution if misused.
• Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet conditions, such as
rain or snow, or near a pool or sprinkler system, or when your hands
are wet, could result in electrocution. Keep the generator dry.
• If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the weather,
check the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) receptacle and all
other electrical components on the control panel before each use.
Moisture or ice can cause a malfunction or short circuit in electrical
components that could result in electrocution.
• Do not connect to a building’s electrical system unless an isolation
switch has been installed by a qualified electrician.
• For parallel operation, use only a Honda approved parallel kit (optional
equipment) when connecting one EU7000is to another EU7000is
generator.
• Never connect different generator models.
Fire and Burn Hazards
• The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials.
– Keep the generator at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from buildings
and other equipment during operation.
– Do not enclose the generator in any structure.
– Keep flammable materials away from the generator.
• The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for
a while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler
while it is hot. Let the engine cool before storing the generator
indoors.
