Summary of Important Safety Information for Operation (cont’d)
36
Safety – After use
•
Cool engine before storing. Let engine cool for at least five minutes before storing. A hot engine can be a
fire hazard.
•
Shut off fuel supply. Make sure gasoline shut-off valve is in the OFF position.
•
Prevent accidental starting. When generator is not in use, remove key from starter (key start engines) and
secure in a safe location, or remove spark plug(s) in order to ensure that generator cannot be started in a
storage location or by untrained persons.
•
Storage location. Store the generator in a dry location away from sources of heat, open flames, sparks or
pilot lights – such as water heaters, space heaters, furnaces, clothes dryers, or other gas appliances – EVEN IF
the generator’s gas tank is empty. Residual gasoline could ignite.
•
Exercise regularly. Exercise generator every four weeks to dry out moisture that accumulates in the
windings. If generator cannot be exercised on a regular basis, prepare generator for long term storage.
•
Periodic maintenance. Perform periodic maintenance as directed in this manual to keep the generator in safe
working condition.
Safety - Inspection/Maintenance
Inspect and maintain your generator on a regular basis and repair as needed to keep it in safe working condition:
•
Turn off generator . Always turn off generator and remove spark plug(s) or spark plug wire(s) before
working on the engine or generator to prevent accidental starting.
•
Discharge capacitor. When the generator is shut down, the capacitor may maintain a charge. Always
discharge the capacitor before working on the generator head to prevent electrical shock.
•
Replace guards / shields. Make sure all guards and shields are replaced after servicing the generator.
•
Replacement parts. If a part needs replacement, only use parts that meet the manufacturer’s specifications.
Replacement parts that do not meet specifications may result in a safety hazard or poor operation of the
generator and will void the warranty.
