GENErAL HAZArDS
• NEVER operate in an enclosed area, in a vehicle, or indoors
EVEN IF doors and windows are open.
• For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends that the
maintenance of this equipment is carried out by an Authorized
Dealer. Inspect the generator regularly, and contact the nearest
Authorized Dealer for parts needing repair or replacement.
• Operate generator only on level surfaces and where it will not be
exposed to excessive moisture, dirt, dust or corrosive vapors.
• Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from fans and other
moving parts. Never remove any fan guard or shield while the
unit is operating.
• Certain parts of the generator get extremely hot during
operation. Keep clear of the generator until it has cooled to
avoid severe burns.
• Do NOT operate generator in the rain.
• Do not alter the construction of the generator or change
controls which might create an unsafe operating condition.
• Never start or stop the unit with electrical loads connected
to receptacles AND with connected devices turned ON. Start
the engine and let it stabilize before connecting electrical
loads. Disconnect all electrical loads before shutting down the
generator.
• Do not insert objects through unit’s cooling slots.
• When working on this equipment, remain alert at all times.
Never work on the equipment when physically or mentally
fatigued.
• Lifting Warning Hazard: A falling generator can result in death,
bodily injury, and/or property damage. Stand clear of generator.
Lift is designed to carry only the weight of the generator. DO
NOT overload lifting bracket. Apply lifting strap or hook through
lift bar hole(s) only. DO NOT lift while generator is running.
• 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
dangerous operating conditions from leaking exhaust gases,
fuel leakage, oil leakage, etc.
• On electric start models, disconnect the POSITIVE (+) battery
cable from the engine starter OR the NEGATIVE (-) battery
cable from the battery terminal, whichever is easier, before
transporting the generator.
•
EXHAUST & LOcATION HAZArDS
• Never operate in an enclosed area or indoors! NEVEr use in
the home, in a vehicle, or in partly enclosed areas such as
garages, EVEN IF doors and windows are open! ONLY use
outdoors and far from open windows, doors, vents, and in an
area that will not accumulate deadly exhaust.
• The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which
you cannot see or smell. This poisonous gas, if breathed in
sufficient concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or even
death.
• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilating air
is critical to correct generator operation. Do not alter the
installation or permit even partial blockage of ventilation
provisions, as this can seriously affect safe operation of the
generator. The generator MUST be operated outdoors.
• This exhaust system must be properly maintained. Do nothing
that might render the exhaust system unsafe or in noncompliance
with any local codes and/or standards.
• Always use a battery operated carbon monoxide alarm indoors,
installed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has
been running, move to fresh air IMMEDIATELY. See a doctor, as
you could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
ELEcTrIcAL HAZArDS
• The generator produces dangerously high voltage when in
operation. Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals, connections,
etc., while the unit is running, even on equipment connected
to the generator. Ensure all appropriate covers, guards and
barriers are in place before operating the generator.
• Never handle any kind of electrical cord or device while
standing in water, while barefoot or while hands or feet are wet.
DANGErOUS ELEcTrIcAL SHOcK MAY rESULT.
