Risk of Electrocution & Fire
Hazard
What could happen
How to prevent it
Improper storage
of extension cord.
Extension cord can come into
contact with hot engine parts
resulting in damage. Using a
damaged extension cord can
result in electrocution or death.
Remove extension cord
from the generator and
store separately away from
generator.
Operation of
generator in
heavy rain, wet,
icy, or flooded
conditions.
Water is an excellent conductor of
electricity! Water which comes in
contact with electrically charged
components can transmit
electricity to the frame and other
surfaces, resulting in electrical
shock to anyone contacting them.
Operate generator in a clean,
dry, well ventilated area. Make
sure hands are dry before
touching unit.
Placing generator
on or against
highly conductive
surface, such as a
steel walkway or
metal roof.
Accidental leakage of electrical
current could charge conductive
surfaces in contact with the
generator.
Place generator on low
conductivity surface such as a
concrete slab.
ALWAYS operate generator a
minimum of 2 meters from any
conductive surface.
Operation of unit
when damaged,
or with guards or
panels removed.
Attempting to use the unit when
it has been damaged, or when it
is not functioning normally could
result in fire or electrocution.
Removal of guarding could
expose electrically charged
components and result in
electrocution.
Do not operate generator
with mechanical or electrical
problem.
Have unit repaired by an
Authorized Service Centre.
Do not operate generator with
protective guarding removed.
