3.
Move the engine switch to the “OFF” position.
4.
Do not leave the generator until it has completely

ARTING THE UNIT
ARTING THE UNIT
Gasoline is very dangerous.
Serious injury or death may result from fire caused by
gasoline contacting hot surfaces.
1. Do not fill fuel tank with engine running.
2. Do not spill fuel while refilling tank.
3. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
4. Follow all instructions and warnings in the operator
manual.
This generator must not be operated without all factory
installed heat shields in place. Failure to comply may cause
the fuel tank to overheat and result in personal injury from
fire.
•
Provide adequate ventilation for toxic exhaust gases and
cooling air flow.
•
Do not start or run the generator in an enclosed area,
even if door or windows are open.
•
Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless,
poison gas.
•
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting or
death.
Allow generator to run at no load for five minutes upon each
initial start-up to permit engine and generator to stabilize.
When applying a load, do not exceed the maximum wattage
rating of the generator when using one or more receptacles.
Also, do not exceed the amperage rating of any one
receptacle.
Do not apply heavy electrical load during break-in period (the
first two to three hours of operations).
