Safety   Instructions   

(continued)   

   

   

CAUTION!

   

Exceeding   generators   wattage/amperage   capacity   can   damage   generator   and   /or   electrical   
devices   connected   to   it.   

 

Start   the   generator   and   let   the   engine   rpm’s   stabilize   before   connecting   electrical   loads.   

 

Connect   all   electrical   loads   with   the   device   in   the   off   position.   

 

Turn   off   electrical   loads   before   shutting   off   generator   engine.   

WARNING!

   

   

Rapid   recoil   of   starter   cord   (kickback)   may   pull   hand   and   arm   forward   
toward   engine   at   a   rapid   rate.   

Broken   bones,   bruises,   sprains,   and   fractures   may   result.   

 

When   starting   engine,   pull   cord   slowly   until   tension   is   felt,   and   then   pull   rapidly   to   avoid   
kickback.   

 

Never   start   or   stop   engine   with   electrical   devices   plugged   in   and   turned   on.   Doing   so   is   
hazardous   and   will   damage   generator.   

WARNING!

   

   

Generator   produces   powerful   voltage!   
Only   a   licensed   electrician   can   safely   
connect   generator   to   existing   utility   

hookups.   Failure   to   isolate   generator   from   
electrical   grid   can   result   in   death   to   utility   
workers   as   well   as   others.   

 

When   using   generator   as   backup   power,   notify   utility   company.   Use   approved   
transfer   equipment   to   isolate   generator   from   electric   utility.   

 

Do   NOT   operate   generator   while   exposed   to   rain   or   other   wet   conditions.   

 

Do   NOT   handle   generator   when   in   contact   with   water.   

 

Do   NOT   contact   bare   wires   or   receptacles.   

 

Do   inspect   all   electrical   cords   for   damage   and   discontinue   from   use   any   damaged   or   
excessively   worn   cords.   

 

Do   NOT   allow   unqualified   persons   to   operate   or   service   generator.
