16 GENERATOR
Before using the generator, you must select a suitable OUTDOOR location for installation and
operation that meets the following criteria:
DRY, LEVEL SURFACE
The generator should be positioned on a dry, firm, level surface. Ensure that the generator sits
level and will not slide or shift during operation. If applicable, block the generator’s wheels to
prevent sliding and shifting.
!
WARNING
You must choose a suitable site for operating your generator to avoid equipment
damage and/or injury and possible death from carbon monoxide poisoning, electric
shock, or fire.
OUTDOORS ONLY
Follow the directions below for choosing a location to operate your generator in order to avoid
carbon monoxide poisoning.
•
The location you choose to operate the generator must be OUTDOORS and away from all
building air intakes:
•
Never run the generator inside any closed or semi-enclosed spaces (even if outdoors),
including homes, garages, basements, sheds, or boxes. These spaces can trap poisonous
gases, even if you run a fan or open windows.
•
Place the generator so that the exhaust fumes will not be directed towards people or
building air intakes.
•
Ensure that working, battery-operated or battery back-up carbon monoxide alarms are
used in any dwelling/structure that is in close proximity to the running generator.
Note that this generator is NOT designed or approved for use in vehicles or marine applications.
Never run the generator inside RVs or other vehicles, on boats, or on pick-up truck beds.
!
WARNING
The exhaust from your generator contains carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas
that can kill. You cannot smell it, see it, or taste it. Breathing carbon monoxide can
cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death. Never run your generator in a
conned or even partially enclosed areas or near open windows or doors.
Never attempt to attach ductwork to the muffler system to allow for installation
inside an enclosure. This could cause hot air, heat build-up and increased exhaust
back-pressure, resulting in possible exhaust leakage or damage to the generator.
ADEQUATE COOLING VENTILATION
•
The generator needs adequate, unobstructed flow of air to allow for proper cooling of
engine and generator head.
• Never place the generator immediately adjacent to a building or other structure – allow at
least 2 metres clearance.
•
Do not run the generator in close proximity to other heat-generating equipment, such as
another generator. The combined heat that is generated may raise air temperature in the
immediate area and there will not be adequate cooling ventilation.
• Do not allow debris to accumulate and block airflow.
•
Do not operate with a tarp, blanket, or cover surrounding the generator.
