Never let children or untrained adults operate this equipment.
This generator set produces electrical current. As such, safety guidelines must be followed. Improper
use of this generator can result in electrocution, injury or death. Do not operate, service or repair this
generator unless fully qualified to do so.
This generator set is designed to be operated in dry conditions and in outdoor areas only. NEVER
operate this generator in rain, snow, sleet or generally wet conditions. Damage to the generator,

If this generator is connected to a building, home, business, or any other electrical circuit normally fed

positively isolated. Failure to isolate the utility and generator electrical systems will result in generator
damage and could result in injury or death to utility workers due to the back-feed of electricity.
