Fire Hazards
• National Electric Code (NEC) requires the frame
Vertical CO Warning Decal
and external electrically conductive parts of the
generator be properly connected to an approved
earth ground. Local electrical codes may also
require proper grounding of the generator. Consult
with a local electrician for grounding requirements
in the area.
• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in any
damp or highly conductive area (such as metal
decking or steel work).
• Do not operate the generator if connected
electrical devices overheat, if electrical output is lost,
if engine or generator sparks or if flames or smoke
are observed while unit is running.
• Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator at all
times.
DANGER
Electrocution. In the event of electrical
accident, immediately shut power OFF. Use
non-conductive implements to free victim from
live conductor. Apply first aid and get medical
help. Failure to do so will result in death or
serious injury.
DANGER
Explosion and Fire. Fuel and vapors are
extremely flammable and explosive. Add fuel in
a well ventilated area. Keep fire and spark
away. Failure to do so will result in death or
serious injury.
Accidental Start-up. Disconnect the negative battery
cable, then the positive battery cable when working on
unit. Failure to do so could result in death or serious
injury.
WARNING
Do not insert any object through the air cooling slots.
Generator can start at any time and could result in
death, serious injury, and unit damage.
WARNING
DANGER
Do not overfill fuel tank. Fill to 1/2 in. of top of
tank to allow for fuel expansion. Overfilling may
cause fuel to spill onto engine causing fire or
explosion, which will result in death or serious
injury.
DANGER
Risk of fire. Allow fuel spills to completely dry
before starting engine. Failure to do so will
result in death or serious injury.
