OPERATION
LOCATION SELECTION
Before starting the generator, avoid
exhaust and location hazards by verifying:
• You have selected a location to operate the
generator that is outdoors and well ventilated.
• You have selected a location with a level and
solid surface on which to place the generator.
• You have selected a location that is at least
15 feet (4.5 m) away from any building, other
equipment or combustible material.
• If the generator is located close to a building,
make sure it is not located near any windows,
doors and/or vents.
WEATHER
Never operate your generator outdoors during
rain, snow or any combination of weather
conditions that could lead to moisture collecting
on, in or around the generator.
DRY SURFACE
Always operate the generator on a dry surface
free of any moisture.
NO CONNECTED LOADS
Make sure the generator has no connected
loads before starting it. To ensure there are no
connected loads, unplug any electrical extension
cords that are plugged into the control panel
receptacles.
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
Engine power is reduced the higher you
operate above sea level. Output will be reduced
approximately 3.5% for every 1000ft of increased
altitude from sea level. This is a natural
occurrence and cannot be adjusted by engine.
Increased exhaust emissions can also result due
to increased fuel mixture. Other issues include
hard starting, increased fuel consumption and
spark plug fouling.
Always operate the generator on a level
surface. Placing the generator on non level
surfaces can cause the generator to tip over,
causing fuel and oil to spill. Spilled fuel can
ignite if it comes in contact with an ignition
source such as a very hot surface.
Be sure the generator is properly connected to
earth ground before operating. The generator
must be grounded to prevent electrical shock
due to faulty appliances.
DANGER
! !
WARNING
! !
WARNING
! !
Only operate the generator on a solid, level
surface. Operating the generator on a surface
with loose material such as sand or grass
clippings can cause debris to be ingested by
the generator that could:
• Block cooling vents
• Block air intake system
Starting the generator with loads already
applied to it could result in damage to any
appliance being powered off the generator
during the brief start-up period.
