Electric Shock Hazards
• The generator produces enough electric power to cause a serious shock or electrocution if
misused.
• Using a generator electrical appliance in wet conditions, such as rain or snow, or near a pool or
sprinkler system, or when your hands are wet: could result in electrocution. Keep the generator dry.
• If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the weather, check all electrical components
on the control panel. Before each use, moisture or ice can cause a malfunction or short circuit in
electrical components which could result in electrocution.
• Do not connect to a building’s electrical system unless an isolation switch has been installed by a
qualified electrician.

- Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from buildings and other equipment during
operation.

flames or sparks where the generator is refueled or where gasoline is stored. Refuel in a well-
ventilated area with the engine stopped.
