SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Wear appropriate protective safety equipment, such as
safety shoes and safety glasses.
• Comply with the warnings in this manual and take spe-
cial precautions when working around electrical equip-
ment.
• Never wear loose or damp clothing that might get caught
in equipment or conduct electricity.
• Keep service area organized and free of unnecessary
clutter to reduce hazard potential.
• Keep guards and shields in place on machinery and
maintain equipment in good working condition.
• Store flammable liquids in approved containers and
away from fire, flame, spark, pilot light, switches, arc-
producing equipment and other ignition sources.
• Use the correct tool for the job and check its condition
before starting.
• Keep fire extinguishers and safety equipment nearby.
Generators produce powerful voltage that can cause
death or great physical harm.
• Notify the utility company when using generator for
backup power. Use approved transfer equipment to iso-
late generator from electric utility.
• NEVER connect to a building's electrical system unless
a transfer switch has been installed by a qualified elec-
trician.
• NEVER touch bare wires or receptacles.
• NEVER use generator with electrical cords that are
worn, frayed, bare, or otherwise damaged.
NEVER operate generator in rain or snow, or when the
generator is set on wet surface.
Exposed terminals, even on disconnected batteries, can
cause electric shock.
• NEVER touch both battery terminals with bare hands
at the same time.
• Remove rings, watches or any other object containing
metal when working with battery. If metal comes into
contact with battery terminals, electric shock and seri-
ous burns can result.
• Only use insulated/non-conducting tools when working
with or near battery.
• NEVER lay tools or other metal objects on top of bat-
tery.
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive under certain conditions.
• Refuel generator only outdoors, in a well-ventilated
area.
• NEVER enclose the generator in any structure.
• Keep generator at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from
buildings and other equipment during operation.
• NEVER fill fuel tank while the engine is running. Turn
generator OFF and allow to cool before filling with fuel.
• NEVER smoke or allow flames or sparks near the gen-
erator or where gasoline is stored.
• NEVER overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel in
the filler neck). After refueling, make sure the tank cap
is closed properly and securely.
• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel
or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, be sure
the area is dry before starting the engine.
• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or
breathing of vapor.
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and
remains hot for a while after stopping the engine.
• NEVER touch hot surfaces and avoid hot gases.
• Let engine cool before storing the generator indoors.
Battery gases are explosive.
• NEVER allow open flames, lit cigarettes, sparks, or
spark-producing equipment near the battery.
Battery electrolyte fluid is comprised of sulfuric acid,
which can be very dangerous and cause severe
burns.
• NEVER allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin, or
clothing. If contact or spillage occurs, immediately flush
the area with water.
NOTICE
Improper treatment or misuse of generator can cause per-
manent damage.
• NEVER tamper with governed speed. Generator sup-
plies correct rated frequency and voltage when run-
ning at governed speed.
• NEVER modify generator in any way.
• Damage to generator caused by misuse or modifica-
tion is not covered under Warranty.
