Never use the inverter in a location that is wet or damp. Never expose the inverter to rain, snow,
water spray or standing water while in use. Protect the inverter from all hazardous weather conditions.
Moisture or ice can cause a short circuit or other malfunction in the electrical circuit.
Never operate the inverter in an enclosed area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide. Only
operate the inverter outside and away from windows, doors and vents.
WARNING

• Never operate the inverter in rain or a flood plain unless proper precautions are taken to avoid being
subject to rain or a flood.
• Never use worn or damaged extension cords.
• Always have a licensed electrician connect the inverter to the utility circuit.
• Never touch an operating inverter if the inverter is wet or if you have wet hands.
• Never operate the inverter in highly conductive areas such as around metal decking or steel works.
• Always use grounded extension cords. Always use three-wire or double-insulated power tools.
• Never touch live terminals or bare wires while the inverter is operating.

WARNING
Gasoline, gasoline vapors & liquid petroleum gas (LPG) are extremely flammable and explosive under
certain conditions.
• Always refuel the generator outdoors, in a well-ventilated area.
• Never remove the fuel cap with the engine running.
• Never refuel the inverter while the engine is running. Always turn engine off and allow the generator to
cool before refueling.
• Only fill fuel tank with gasoline.
• Keep sparks, open flames or other forms of ignition (such as match, cigarette, static electric source)
away when refueling.
• Never overfill the fuel tank. Leave room for fuel to expand. Overfilling the fuel tank can result in a
sudden overflow of gasoline and result in spilled gasoline coming in contact with HOT surfaces.
Spilled fuel can ignite. If fuel is spilled on the inverter, wipe up any spills immediately. Dispose of rag
properly. Allow area of spilled fuel to dry before operating the inverter.
• Wear eye protection while refueling.
• Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent.
• Store any containers containing gasoline in a well-ventilated area, away from any combustibles or
source of ignition.
• Check for fuel leaks after refueling. Never operate the engine if a fuel leak is discovered.
WARNING
Never operate the inverter if powered items overheat,
electrical output drops, there is sparking, flames or smoke
coming from the inverter, or if the receptacles are damaged.
Never use the inverter to power medical support equipment.
Always remove any tools or other service equipment used
during maintenance from the inverter before operating.
NOTICE
Never modify the inverter.
Never operate the inverter if it
vibrates at high levels, if engine
speed changes greatly or if the
engine misfires often.
Always disconnect tools or
appliances from the
inverter before starting.
