SAFETY
1. Gasoline fuel and fumes are flammable, and potentially explosive. Use proper fuel storage and handling
procedures. Do not store fuel or other flammable materials nearby.
2. Have multiple ABC class fire extinguishers nearby.
3. Operation of this equipment may create sparks that can start fires around dry vegetation. A spark arrestor
may be required. The operator should contact local fire agencies for laws or regulations relating to fire
prevention requirements.
4. Set up and use only on a flat, level, well-ventilated surface.
5. All connections and conduits from the Generator to the load must only be installed by trained and
licensed electricians.
6. Connections for standby power to a building electrical system must be made by a qualified electrician.
The connection must isolate the Generator power from utility power, and must comply with all applicable
laws and electrical codes.
7. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, heavy-duty work gloves, and dust mask/respirator during set up.
8. Use only lubricants and fuel recommended in the Specifications chart of this manual.
9. Improper connections to a building electrical system can allow electrical current from the Generator to
backfeed into the utility lines. Such backfeed may electrocute utility company workers or others who
contact the lines during a power outage, and the Generator may explode, burn, or cause fires when
utility power is restored. Consult the utility company and a qualified electrician if intending to use the
Generator for back up power.
10. Do not operate the Generator before grounding. The Generator must be earth-grounded in accordance
with all relevant electrical codes and standards before operation.
1. CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD using a generator indoors CAN KILL you in MINTES. Generator
exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell.
NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and windows are open.
Only use OUTSIDE and far away from
windows, doors, and vents.
