SPECIFIC SAFETy RULES
WARNING:
When this generator is used to supply a building
wiring system:
generator must be installed
by a qualified electrician and connected to a
transfer switch as a separately derived system
in accordance with NFPA 70, National Electrical
Code. The generator shall be connected through a
transfer switch that switches all conductors other
than the equipment grounding conductor. The
frame of the generator shall be connected to an
approved grounding electrode. Failure to isolate
the generator from power utility can result in death
or injury to electric utility workers.

Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a color-
less, odorless gas. Breathing exhaust can cause loss
of consciousness and can lead to death. If running in a
confined or partially-enclosed area, the air may contain a
dangerous amount of carbon monoxide. To keep exhaust
fumes from building up, always provide adequate ventila-
tion.

Always use a battery-powered carbon monoxide detec-
tor when running the generator. If you begin to feel sick,
dizzy, or weak while using the generator, shut it off and
get to fresh air immediately. See a doctor. You may have
carbon monoxide poisoning.

Place the generator on a flat, stable surface with a slope
of no more than 4°.

Operate outdoors in a well-ventilated, well-lit area isolated
from working areas to avoid noise interference.

Operating the generator in wet conditions could result in
electrocution. Keep the unit dry.

Keep the generator a minimum of 3 feet away from all
types of combustible material.

Do not operate generator near hazardous material.

Do not operate generator at a gas or natural gas filling
station.
 Do not touch the muffler or cylinder during or immediately
after use; they are HOT and will cause burn injury.
 This generator has a neutral bonded condition. This
means the neutral conductor is electrically connected to
the frame of the machine.

Do not allow the generator’s gas tank to overflow when
filling. Fill to 1 in. below the top neck of the gasoline tank
to allow for fuel expansion. Do not cover the fuel tank cap
when the engine is running. Covering the fuel tank cap
during use may cause engine failure and/or damage to
the tool.

Do not smoke when filling the generator with gasoline.

Shut down the engine and allow to cool completely before
adding gasoline or lubricant to the generator.

Do not remove the oil dipstick or the fuel tank cap when
the engine is running.

Pay close attention to all safety labels located on the
generator.

Keep children a minimum of 10 feet away from the gen-
erator at all times.

The unit operates best in temperatures between 23°F and
104°F with a relative humidity of 90% or less.

Specific modifications for high-altitude performance are
needed if the generator will
always be operated at alti-
tudes above 5,000 feet. Contact your nearest authorized
service center for more information and to have these
modifications performed.

Operating voltage and frequency requirement of all
electronic equipment should be checked prior to plug-
ging 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 reduce the risk of
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.

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.

Use only authorized replacement parts and accessories
and follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this
manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock or
injury.
 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.
