Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before installing, operating or
servicing this equipment. Become familiar with this Owner’s Manual
and with the unit. The generator can operate safely, efficiently and
reliably only if it is properly installed, operated and maintained. Many
accidents are caused by failing to follow simple and fundamental
rules or precautions.
The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible circumstance
that might involve a hazard. The warnings in this manual, and on
tags and decals affixed to the unit are, therefore, not all inclusive.
If using a procedure, work method or operating technique that the
manufacturer does not specifically recommend, ensure that it is
safe for others. Also make sure the procedure, work method or
operating technique utilized does not render the generator unsafe.

Despite the safe design of this generator,
operating this equipment imprudently, neglect-
ing its maintenance or being careless can
cause possible injury or death. Permit only
responsible and capable persons to install,
operate or maintain this equipment.

Potentially lethal voltages are generated by
these machines. Ensure all steps are taken to
render the machine safe before attempting to
work on the generator.

Parts of the generator are rotating and/or hot
during operation. Exercise care near running
generators.

Generator exhaust gases contain DEADLY
carbon monoxide gas. This dangerous gas, if
breathed, can cause headaches, fatigue, diz-
ziness, vomiting, confusion, seizures, nausea,
fainting, unconsciousness or even death.
Operate this equipment only in the open air
where adequate ventilation is available.
GENERAL HAZARDS
• For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends that this
equipment be installed, serviced and repaired by an authorized
dealer or other competent, qualified electrician or installation
technician who is familiar with applicable codes, standards
and regulations. The operator also must comply with all such
codes, standards and regulations.
• Installation, operation, servicing and repair of this (and related)
equipment must always comply with applicable codes, stan-
dards, laws and regulations. Adhere strictly to local, state and
national electrical and building codes. Comply with regulations
the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has
established. Also, ensure that the generator is installed, operat-
ed and serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions and recommendations. Following installation, do nothing
that might render the unit unsafe or in noncompliance with the
aforementioned codes, standards, laws and regulations.
• Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive belts, fans,
and other moving or hot parts. Never remove any drive belt or
fan guard while the unit is operating.
• When working on this equipment, remain alert at all times.
Never work on the equipment when physically or mentally
fatigued.
• Inspect the generator regularly, and promptly repair or replace
all worn, damaged or defective parts using only factory-
approved parts.
• Before performing any maintenance on the generator, discon-
nect its battery cables to prevent accidental start-up. Disconnect
the cable from the battery post indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG
or (–) first. Reconnect that cable last.
• Never use the generator or any of its parts as a step. Stepping
on the unit can stress and break parts, and may result in dan-
gerous operating conditions from leaking exhaust gases, fuel
leakage, oil leakage, etc.
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
• All generators covered by this manual produce dangerous elec-
trical voltages and can cause fatal electrical shock. Utility power
delivers extremely high and dangerous voltages to the transfer
switch as well as the standby generator. Avoid contact with
bare wires, terminals, connections, etc., on the generator as
well as the transfer switch, if applicable. Ensure all appropriate
covers, guards and barriers are in place before operating the
generator. If work must be done around an operating unit, stand
on an insulated, dry surface to reduce shock hazard.
• Do not handle any kind of electrical device while stand-
ing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.
DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY RESULT.
