Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under
certain conditions. Refuel in a well ventilated area with
the engine stopped.
Keep away from cigarette, smoke and sparks when re-
fueling the generator. Always refuel in a well-ventilated
location.
Wipe up spilled gasoline at once.
Usage of generator should be limited in ambient where
the risk of fire may be high.
Connections for standby power to a building's electrical
system must be made by a qualified electrician and must
comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes. Im-
proper connections can allow electrical current from the
generator to back feed into the utility lines. Such back
feed may electrocute utility company workers or others
who contact the lines during a power outage, and when
utility power is restored, the generator may explode,burn
or cause fires in the building's electrical system.
Always make a pre-operation inspection before you
start the engine. You may prevent an accident or
equipment damage.
Place the generator at least 1m(3ft) away from build-
ings or other equipment during operation.
Operate the generator on a level surface.
If the generator is tiled, fuel spillage may result.
Know how to stop the generator quickly and understand
operation of all the controls.Never permit anyone to op-
erate the generator without proper instructions.
Keep children and pets away from the generator when
it is in operation.
Keep away from rotating parts while the generator is
running.
The generator is a potential source of electrical shocks
when misused; do not operate with wet hands.
