6,500W Gasoline Generator with Electric Start
V1.0
4.1 Keep the generator at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from buildings and other equipment
during operation.
4.2 Remove accumulated debris from muffler and cylinder area. Combustible debris, such as
leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire if they come in contact with a hot engine.
4.3 Do not place anything on the generator while it is running.
4.4 Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool before touching.
5. The manufacturer of the equipment, on which this engine is installed, specifies the engine’s top
speed during operation. DO NOT exceed this speed.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
DANGER! Never operate a gas engine indoors or in a confined space as the exhaust contains
carbon monoxide gas. Inhalation of carbon monoxide gas can lead to illness or death. The area
must be well ventilated. Opening windows and doors is not enough to ventilate an area.
Carbon monoxide is a colourless and odourless gas that is difficult to detect. Carbon monoxide poisoning
results from inhalation of the gas and may be lethal if left untreated. Evacuate all people to an area with
clean air and seek immediate medical attention for any person experiencing the following symptoms:
1. Headache
2. Confusion
3. Shortness of Breath
4. Weakness
5. Chest Pain
6. Dizziness
7. Vision Trouble
8. Nausea and Vomiting
9. Unconsciousness
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that the power cord is connected to a
properly grounded power outlet.
1. Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical equipment. Avoid body contact
with grounded surfaces. There is an increased chance of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
2. Do not expose the generator to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the generator will
increase the risk of electric shock.
3. Make certain the power source conforms to requirements of your equipment (see Specifications).
4. When wiring an electrically driven device, follow all electrical and safety codes, as well as
the most recent Canadian Electrical Code (CE) and Canadian Centre for Occupational
Health and Safety (CCOHS).
WARNING! All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
BATTERY SAFETY
WARNING! Do not charge a damaged or frozen battery. Contact your local municipality for
proper disposal procedures.
WARNING! Only charge a battery with a charger designed for that purpose. Do not use modified
chargers or a charger that does not specify the voltage, amperage or recharge rate. Improper
charging can lead to battery rupturing.
EXPLOSIVE GASES
Lead-acid generates oxygen and hydrogen gas as part of their normal function. Hydrogen
becomes explosive when concentrations exceed 4.1 percent.
1. Remove any source of ignition such as an open flame or a device like a heater from the area.
Sparks may also ignite the gas.
2. Lead batteries contain sulfuric acid, also referred to as electrolyte or battery acid. The acid is
corrosive and can cause a skin burn if leaking or splashed. The acid may also pose a threat if
inhaled or ingested accidentally. The acid can destroy normal clothing and injure the flesh
underneath. Wear splash-proof goggles and protective clothing when handling a battery.
3. Even a discharged battery may still carry a charge. To prevent a shock, place battery terminal
caps or covers over the terminal to prevent accidental contact. Hold the battery by the bottom
if moving the battery to a different location.
