This manual should be considered a permanent part of the generator and should remain with it if it is resold.

If a problem should arise, or if you have any questions about the generator, consult an authorized
Powerhouse dealer.
Failure to properly follow these precautions can result in property damage, serious

Read all labels and the owner's manual before operating this generator.
Generators produce carbon monoxide — a poisonous, colorless, odorless gas that
can cause death or serious injury.
Indoor use of a generator can kill quickly. Generators should be used outdoors only.
Generators should only be used outdoors away from garages and open windows,
but protected from rain and snow.
Check for spilled fuel or leaks. Clean and/or repair before use.
Always stop engine before refueling. Wait 5 minutes before restarting.
Keep any source of ignition away from fuel tank, at all times.
The portable generator is not meant to be used as a permanent back-up power
system for the home. A permanently installed stationary generator is designed to be
safely used for this specific purpose.
Our generators are designed to give safe and dependable service if operated
according to instructions. Read and understand the Owner's Manual before
operating the generator. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment
damage.
