•
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that can build up to
dangerous levels in closed areas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause
unconsciousness or death.
•
Never run generator in a closed or even partly closed area where people may be
present.
•
Use grounded 3-prong extension cords, tools, and appliances, or double-
insulated tools and appliances.
•
Inspect cords and plugs, and replace if damaged.
•
Make sure that the appliance is in good working order. Faulty appliances or
power cords can create a potential for electric shock.
•
Operate generator at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from buildings and other
equipment.
•
Do not operate generator in an enclosed structure.
•
Keep all cooling holes open and clear of debris, mud, water, etc. Cooling holes
are located on the side panel, the control panel, and the bottom of the
generator. If the cooling holes are blocked, the generator may overheat and
damage the engine, inverter, or windings.
•
Do not lay the generator on its side when moving, storing, or operating it. Oil
may leak and damage the engine or property.
•
Make sure the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not exceed that of
the generator. Never exceed the maximum power rating of the generator.
Power levels between rated and maximum may be used for only brief surge
capacity.
3.2.2
Check the Engine before Starting
Check the oil level (see Section 5.2). A low oil level will cause the Oil Level Indicator system to
shut down the engine.
Check the air filter (see Section 5.4). A contaminated air filter will restrict air flow to the
carburetor, reducing engine and generator performance.
Check the fuel level (shown below) by opening cap vent lever (ON position to release internal
pressure), removing fuel tank cap, and checking fuel level. If adding fuel, ensure that JP-8 and
F24 fuels are not mixed. Starting with a full tank, will help to eliminate or reduce operating
interruptions for refueling.
