General Safety
m
DANGER!
Carbon Monoxide.
Using a generator
indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust
contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous
gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator
exhaust, you are breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell
the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.
•
Never use a generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces,
or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan or
opening windows and doors does NOT supply enough
fresh air.
•
ONLY use a generator outdoors and far away from open
windows, doors, and vents. These openings can pull in
generator exhaust.
Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into
the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery-backup
CO alarm in the home. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or
weak after the generator has been running, move to fresh air
RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide
poisoning.
m
DANGER!
If you smell propane gas, shut off propane to
the generator at the propane cylinder. If odor continues, keep
away from generator and immediately call your propane gas
supplier or your fire department.
m
WARNING!
Read and understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below could result in
electrocution, fire, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning, which
can cause death or serious injury.
m
WARNING!
In some applications, National Electric
Code requires generator to be grounded to an approved
earth ground. Before using the ground terminal, consult a
qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or local agency having
jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances that apply to the
intended use of the generator.
m
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do
not store an unconnected propane cylinder in the vicinity of the
generator or any other appliance. To reduce the risk of fire or
explosion, propane cylinders must be stored outdoors out of
reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage,
or any other closed in area.
1.
Do not connect to a building’s electrical system unless
the generator and transfer switch have been properly
installed and the electrical output has been verified by
a qualified electrician. The connection must isolate the
generator power from utility power and must comply with
all applicable laws and electrical codes.
2.
Do not allow children or untrained individuals to use this
unit.
3.
Do not use or install generator in or on boats, recreational
vehicles, camper trailers, or motor homes.
4.
Do not start or operate the engine in a confined space,
building, near open windows, or in other unventilated
space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can
collect. Carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, and
extremely dangerous gas, can cause unconsciousness or
death.
5.
Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 10 feet
away.
6.
Wear sturdy and dry shoes or boots. Do not operate while
barefoot.
7.
Do not operate generator when you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
8.
Keep all parts of your body away from any moving parts
and all hot surfaces of the unit.
