WARNING Unintentional sparking could cause fire or electric
shock resulting in death or serious injury.
WHEN ADJUSTING OR MAKING REPAIRS TO YOUR GENERATOR
• Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and place
the wire where it cannot contact spark plug.
WHEN TESTING FOR ENGINE SPARK
• Use approved spark plug tester.
• DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed.
WARNING Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas
during recharging.
Slightest spark will ignite hydrogen and
cause explosion, resulting in death or
serious injury.
Battery electrolyte fluid contains acid and is extremely caustic.
Contact with battery contents could cause severe chemical burns.
A battery presents a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit
current.
• DO NOT dispose of battery in a fire. Recycle battery.
• DO NOT allow any open flame, spark, heat, or lit cigarette during
and for several minutes after charging a battery.
• DO NOT open or mutilate the battery.
• Wear protective goggles, rubber apron, rubber boots and
rubber gloves.
• Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
• Use tools having insulated handles.
WARNING Generator produces hazardous voltage.
Failure to properly ground generator could result
in electrocution.
Failure to isolate generator from utility power could result
in death or serious injury to electric utility workers due to
backfeed of electrical energy.
• When using generator for backup power, notify utility company.
• DO NOT touch bare wires or bare receptacles.
• DO NOT use generator with electrical cords which are worn,
frayed, bare or otherwise damaged.
• DO NOT handle generator or electrical cords while standing in
water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.
• If you must work around a unit while it is operating, stand on an
insulated dry surface to reduce the risk of a shock hazard.
• DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to operate or
service generator.
• In case of an accident caused by electrical shock, immediately
shut down the source of electrical power and contact the local
authorities. Avoid direct contact with the victim.
• Despite the safe design of the residential generator, operating
this equipment imprudently, neglecting its maintenance or being
careless could cause possible injury or death.
• Remain alert at all times while working on this equipment.
Never work on the equipment when you are physically or
mentally fatigued.
• Before performing any maintenance on the generator, disconnect
the battery cable indicated by a NEGATIVE , NEG or ( - ) first. When
finished, reconnect that cable last.
• After your system is installed, the generator may crank and start
without warning any time there is a power failure. To prevent
possible injury, always set the generator’s system switch to OFF ,
remove the service disconnect from the disconnect box AND
remove the 15 Amp fuse BEFORE working on the equipment.
WARNING Propane and Natural Gas are extremely flammable
and explosive, which could cause burns, fire or
explosion resulting in death or serious injury.
• Install the fuel supply system according to NFPA 37 and other
applicable fuel-gas codes.
• Before placing the generator into service, the fuel system lines
must be properly purged and leak tested.
• After the generator is installed, you should inspect the fuel
system periodically.
• NO leakage is permitted.
• DO NOT operate engine if smell of fuel is present or other
explosive conditions exist.
• DO NOT smoke around the generator. Wipe up any oil spills
immediately. Ensure that no combustible materials are left in
the generator compartment. Keep the area near the generator
clean and free of debris.
