USING THE GENERATOR
CAUTION!
• For outdoor use only. ONLY use the MPV
generator outdoors and far away from open
windows, doors, and vents. These openings
can pull in generator exhaust.
•
Do not allow children or untrained individuals to
use this unit.
• Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least
10 feet away.
• Wear sturdy and dry shoes or boots. Do not
operate while barefoot.
• Do not touch bare wire or receptacles.
•
Always close the receptacle covers when not in
use.
• Do not use the MPV generator with electrical
cords which are worn, frayed, bare, or otherwise
damaged.
• Allow engine to cool for five minutes before
refueling.
•
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, handle
fuel with care. It is highly flammable.
• Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and
to keep fuel from escaping around the cap.
• Tighten the fuel cap securely after refueling.
• Wipe spilled fuel from the unit.
• Do not remove the oil dipstick or the fuel tank
cap when the engine is running.
•
Do not smoke while handling fuel. Store fuel in
a container approved for gasoline.
• Keep the MPV generator a minimum of 3 feet
away from all types of combustible material.
• Keep all parts of your body away from any
moving parts and all hot surfaces of the unit.
• Do not operate the MPV generator near
hazardous material.
•
Do not operate the MPV generator at a gas or
natural gas filling station.
• Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under any
circumstances.
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
• Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this product.
If you loan someone this product, loan them these
instructions also.
• Position the MPV on level ground for best generator
performance.
• Operating voltage and frequency requirement of
all electronic equipment should be checked prior to
plugging them into this generator. Damage may result
if the equipment is not designed to operate within
a +/- 10% voltage variation, and +/- 3 Hz frequency
variation from the generator name plate ratings. To
avoid damage, always have an additional load plugged
into the generator if solid state equipment (such as
a television set) is used. A power line conditioner is
recommended for some solid state applications.
• For power outages, permanently installed stationary
generators are better suited for providing backup
power to a home. Even a properly connected portable
generator can become overloaded. This may result in
overheating or stressing of the generator components,
possibly leading to a generator failure. (UL2201
Sec.51.1.1.10.h).
• Do not connect the MPV to a building’s electrical system
unless the MPV generator and transfer switch have been
properly installed and the electrical output has been
verified by a qualified electrician. The connection must
isolate the generator power from utility power and must
comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
• Maintain the unit per maintenance instructions in this
Operator’s Manual.
• Inspect the unit before each use for loose fasteners,
fuel leaks, etc. Replace damaged parts.
• Operate in a well-lit area isolated from working areas to
avoid noise interference.
• Before storing, allow the engine to cool and drain fuel
from the unit.
• Store the MPV in a well-ventilated area with the fuel
tank empty. Fuel should not be stored near the MPV.
• Do not operate or store the MPV in rain, snow, or wet
weather.
