IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
STOP!
Before using this generator, if you have any questions regarding the hazard and safety notices listed in this manual and/or
on this generator, call 1-866-460-9436, Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 4 PM Central Time.
Carbon Monoxide Gas:
When in operation, the exhaust from this generator contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
Carbon monoxide gas is both odorless and colorless AND may be present even if you do not see or smell gas. Breathing this
poison gas can lead to headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, loss of consciousness and eventually death.
• USE THIS GENERATOR ONLY OUTDOORS IN NON-CONFINED AREAS. DO NOT SECURE THE
GENERATOR WITH A CHAIN OR ROPE, AS THIS WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO MOVE IN AN EMERGENCY.
• Keep at least several feet of clearance on all sides to allow proper ventilation for this generator.
Flammable Gasoline:
This generator may emit highly flammable and explosive gasoline vapors, which can cause severe
burns or even death. A nearby open flame can lead to an explosion even if not directly in contact with gasoline.
• Do not operate this generator near open flame.
• Do not smoke near this generator.
• Always operate this generator on a firm, level surface.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. Handling fuel can result in serious injury or burns.
• Always shut down this generator before refueling. Refuel in a well-ventilated area. Keep heat, sparks and flame
away while refueling and away from the location where gasoline is stored. Never refuel indoors where gasoline
fumes may reach flames and/or sparks.
• Allow this generator to cool for at least 2 minutes before removing the fuel tank cap. Loosen the cap slowly to
relieve pressure in the fuel tank. Avoid spilling fuel.
• Do not fill the fuel tank above the upper limit line. Gasoline may expand during operation. Do not fill to the top of
the tank.
• Always check for spilled gasoline and immediately wipe it up before starting this generator.
• Empty the fuel tank before storing or transporting this generator.
• Always handle fuel outdoors.
• Before transporting, turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position and disconnect the spark plug.
NOTE: DO NOT USE GASOLINE CONTAINING MORE THAN 10% ETHANOL (e10)
Usage:
Prolonged exposure to high noise levels can be hazardous to hearing.
Always wear ANSI-approved hearing protection when
operating or working around the generator when it is running.
