2. SAFETY GUIDELINES
(cont’d)
2.1 BATTERY SAFETY
New batteries and batteries that have been stored for a long period have little to no charge remaining.
These batteries, when charged, produce and release explosive Hydrogen gas. The slightest spark,
flame or burning ash can ignite these gases causing a serious explosion that could result in blindness
or other injury.
Completely drained batteries MUST be brought back up to full charge using a battery charger before
installing into the generator. The trickle charger built into the generator is designed to maintain the
charge of the battery during normal operation under normal operating conditions.
CHARGING A FULLY DISCHARGED BATTERY WITH THE BUILT IN BATTERY TRICKLE
CHARGER MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO UNIT AND/OR BATTERY.
Wear eye protection, rubber apron, and rubber gloves when working around a battery or performing
battery service. Battery fluid is an extremely caustic sulfuric acid, which can cause severe burns. Do
not permit the battery fluid to come in contact with your clothes or skin.
ALWAYS disconnect the negative (-) battery cable from the battery before performing battery service
or before performing any electrical service on the generator or engine.

monoxide. Exposure to carbon monoxide can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, headaches,
nausea, severe sickness or death.
•
Do not install this generator in an enclosed area such as a RV or motor home
. All
warranty will be null and void if installed within an enclosed area.
•
Ensure that at least 2 feet of clearance on all sides of the generator are maintained
during operation. Failure to maintain proper clearance could damage your generator and
potentially lead to fires.
•
Never touch a receptacle or bare wire
. Electrocution or shock could result.
•
Gasoline is flammable.
Handle gasoline with extreme care
. Failure to properly handle
gasoline can result in explosion or fire.
Do not smoke within 50 feet of the generator
.
•
Never refill a hot generator with fuel. Never refill the generator while it is running.
Spillage onto the engine or generator could result in an explosion or fire. Always allow the
generator set to cool before refilling.
•
Do not store the generator where gasoline fumes could potentially come into contact
with spark, pilot light or an open flame
. Improper storage of this generator could result in
an explosion or fire.
