WARNING: This generator produces powerful voltage, which can result in
electrocution.
ALWAYS ground the generator before using it (see the ¡Ground the
Generator¡ portion of the ¡PREPARING THE GENERATOR FOR USE¡
section).
Generator should only be plugged into electrical devices, either directly or
with an extension cord. NEVER connect to a building electrical system
without a qualified electrician. Such connections must comply with local
electrical laws and codes. Failure to comply can create a backfeed, which
may result in serious injury or death to utility workers.
Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in highly conductive areas
such as metal decking or steel work. GFCIs are available in-line with some
extension cords.
Do not use in rainy or wet conditions.
Do not touch bare wires or receptacles (outlets).
Do not allow children or non-qualified persons to operate.
WARNING
:
Never connect a generator directly to any existing electrical
building circuit. The generator can backfeed into power lines and electrocute
nearby electrical repair workers.
WARNING
:
This generator produces heat when running. Temperatures near
exhaust can exceed 150
o
F (65
o
C).
Do not touch hot surfaces. Pay attention to warning labels on the generator
denoting hot parts of the machine.
Allow generator to cool several minutes after use before touching engine or
areas which heat during use.
CAUTION: Misuse of this generator can damage it or shorten its life.
Use generator only for its intended purposes.
Operate only on dry, level surfaces.
Allow generator to run for several minutes before connecting electrical devices.
Shut off and disconnect any malfunctioning devices from generator.
Do not exceed the Wattage capacity of the generator by plugging in more
electrical devices than the unit can handle.
Do not turn on electrical devices until
after
they are connected to the generator.
Turn off all connected electrical devices before stopping the generator.
