WARNING! 

If the generator is installed indoors

DO NOT INSTALL 

INDOORS.
If the generator is installed outdoors

Never lift the generator using the engine 
or alternator lifting lugs.

Before using the generator, read 

and understand the engine manufacturer's 
Operation, Maintenance, and Parts manual. 
Also, read the safety precautions in this 
manual. These should always be followed to 
reduce the risk of personal injury and 
damage to equipment. 
Ensure installation meets all applicable 
safety, local and national electrical codes. 
Have installation performed by a qualified, 
licensed electrician and building contractor. 

exhaust fumes must be piped out of the 
building using leak-free, heat-resistant 
piping. Pipes and silencer should not be 
made of any flammable materials, nor should 
they be installed near any flammable 
materials. Generator exhaust fumes must be 
within legal limits, including all local codes 
and ordinances. 

, it 

must be weatherproofed and should be 
soundproofed. It should not be run outdoors 
without protection for both the generator and 
wiring conduit. 

 Connect lifting 

equipment to the frame of the generator. 
Before lifting the generator, ensure the lift 
rigging and supporting structure are in good 
condition, and are rated to lift such a load. 
The supporting floor/ground surface 

, and strong enough to safely hold 

the weight of the generator. If the 
floor/ground surface is not level, strong cross 
members should be placed under the full 
length of the generator frame at its low side. 
For trailer installation, the generator should 
be mounted on the center point of the trailer, 
over the wheels. 
All connections and conduits from the 
generator to the load must only be installed 
in compliance with all relevant local, state, 
and federal electrical codes and standards, 
and other regulations where applicable. 
Check with a qualified electrician.
The generator must be properly earth-
grounded by a qualified electrician in 
accordance with all relevant electrical codes

OPERATING  PRECAUTIONS

and standards before operation. 
If an extension cord is used to provide power to a 
tool, make sure to use only UL

®

 approved cords 

having the correct gauge and length. 

Do not attempt to connect or disconnect load 
connections while standing in water, or on wet or 
soggy ground.
Do not touch electrically energized parts of the 
generator and interconnecting cables or conduc-
tors with any part of the body, or with any non-
insulated conductive object.
Connect the generator only to a load or electrical 
system that is compatible with the electrical 
characteristics and rated capacities of the genera-
tor.
Keep all electrical equipment clean and dry. 
Replace any wiring where the insulation is racked, 
cut, abraded or otherwise degraded. Replace 
terminals that are worn, discolored, or corroded. 
Keep terminals clean and tight.
