1.
The exhaust gas is poisonous, never use a generator indoors or in an attached garage. Always run your
generator outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from buildings and
other equipment during operation.
2.
Place generator on level ground to operate.
3.
The load must be kept within rating stated on generator rating plate, overloading will damage the unit or shorten
its life.
4.
Running the engine at excessive speeds is dangerous and will damage the engine.
5.
Do not tamper with parts, which may increase or decrease the governed speed.
6.
When using extension cords, please make sure they are grounded with sufficient wire gauge for the application.
Heavy-duty outdoor rated cords will handle household appliance loads.
7.
The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials. Do not operate the engine near combustible
materials.
8.
Do not store fuel indoors or try to refuel a generator while it is still running. Clean up any spilled fuel before

13.
Protection against electrical shock depends on circuit breakers specifically matched to the generating set. If the
circuit breakers require replacement they must be replaced with a circuit breaker having identical ratings and
performance characteristics.
14.
Ensure the generator does not have any damaged hoses, loose or missing clamps, damaged tank or cap before
use. All defects should be corrected before use.
15.
To prevent surging that may possibly damage equipment, do not allow the engine to run out of fuel when
electrical loads are applied.
