201047 - 2400W DUAL FUEL INvERTER GENERATOR
OPERATION
19
WARNING
During operation the muffler and exhaust fumes will become
hot. If adequate cooling and breathing space are not supplied,
or if the generator is blocked or enclosed, temperatures can
become extremely heated and may lead to fire.
WARNING
Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
Keep all objects a minimum of 5 feet (1.5m) away from the
generator at all times. Heat from the muffler surface and
exhaust gas stream can ignite combustible materials.
WARNING
If you must operate in rain or damp locations, DO NOT operate
without proper protection of the electrical components.
Use of a safety canopy that is fire retardant and will provide proper
air ventilation for the engine exhaust gas stream may be used.

Surge Protection
Electronic devices, including computers and many programmable
appliances use components that are designed to operate within a
narrow voltage range and may be affected by momentary voltage
fluctuations. While there is no way to prevent voltage fluctuations,
you can take steps to protect sensitive electronic equipment.
–
Install UL1449, CSA-listed, plug-in surge suppressors on the
outlets feeding your sensitive equipment.
Surge suppressors come in single- or multi-outlet styles.
They’re designed to protect against virtually all short-duration
voltage fluctuations.
Starting the Engine: Gasoline
