Before starting the generator, make sure you have read and performed the steps in the “Generator Prepera-
tion” section of this manual. If you are unsure about how to perform any of the steps in this manual please call

DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE.
Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison gas you cannot see or smell. If you can
smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing CO. Even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you may be breath-
ing 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 outside and far away from windows, doors, and vents. These openings can pull in
generator exhaust. Even if 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 may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING: This generator produces powerful voltage, which can result in electrocution.
ALWAYS ground the generator before using it (see the “Ground the Generator” portion of the “Generator
Preperation” section).
- Generator should only be plugged into electrical devices, either directly or with an extension cord. NEVER
connect to a building electrical system without a qualified electrician. Such connections must comply with local
electrical laws and codes. Failure to comply can create a back-feed, which may result in serious injury or death
to utility workers.
- Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in highly conductive areas such as metal decking or steel work.
GFCIs are available in-line with some extension cords.
- Do not use in rainy or wet conditions.
- Do not touch bare wires or receptacles (outlets).
- Do not allow children or non-qualified persons to operate.
CAUTION: Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator before attempting to start.
