WARNING
Running generator gives off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas. Breathing carbon monoxide
will cause nausea, fainting or death.
Operate generator ONLY outdoors. Keep exhaust gas from entering a
confined area through windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings. DO NOT operate generator
inside any building or enclosure, including the generator compartment of a recreational vehicle (RV).
The generator must be at least 2m (5 ft.) from structures having combustible walls and/or other combustible
materials. Leave at least lm (3 ft.) all around generator including overhead, for adequate cooling, maintenance
and servicing. Place generator in a well ventilated area, which will allow for removal deadly exhaust gas. DO
NOT place generator where exhaust gas could accumulate and enter inside or be drawn into a potentially
occupied building. Ensure exhaust gas is kept away from any windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other
openings that can allow exhaust gas to collect in a confined area (Figure 2).Prevailing winds and air currents
should be taken into consideration when positioning generator.
WARNING Generator produces powerful voltage. Failure to isolate generator from power utility can result in
death or injury to electric utility workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.
When using generator for
backup power, notify utility company. Use approved transfer equipment to isolate generator from electric
utility.
Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in any damp or highly conductive area, such as metal
decking or steel work. DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles. DO NOT use generator with electrical cords
which are worn, frayed, bare or otherwise damaged. DO NOT operate generator in the rain. DO NOT handle
generator or electrical cords while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet. DO NOT
allow unqualified persons or children to operate or service generator.
