Generator produces powerful voltage.
Failure to properly ground generator can result
in electrocution.
Failure to isolate generator from power utility
can result in death or injury to electric utility
workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.
• When using generator for backup power, notify utility
company.
• DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles.
• DO NOT use generator with electrical cords which are worn,
frayed, bare or otherwise damaged.
• DO NOT handle generator or electrical cords while standing
in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.
• If you must work around a unit while it is operating, stand on
an insulated dry surface to reduce shock hazard.
• DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to operate or
service generator.
• In case of an accident caused by electrical shock, immediately
shut down the source of electrical power and contact the
local authorities. Avoid direct contact with the victim.
• Before performing any maintenance on the generator,
disconnect the battery cable indicated by a NEGATIVE,
NEG or (-) first.When finished, reconnect that cable last.
• After your Home Standby Generator is installed, the
generator may crank and start without warning any time there
is a power failure.To prevent possible injury, always set the
AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to OFF, remove the service
disconnect from the disconnect box AND remove the
15 Amp fuse BEFORE working on the equipment.
Propane and Natural Gas are extremely
flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
• Install the fuel supply system according to applicable fuel-gas
codes.
• Before placing the Home Standby Generator into service, the
fuel system lines must be properly purged and leak tested.
• After the generator is installed, you should inspect the fuel
system periodically.
• NO leakage is permitted.
• DO NOT operate engine if smell of fuel is present or other
explosive conditions exist.
• DO NOT smoke around the generator.Wipe up any oil spills
immediately. Ensure that no combustible materials are left in

correct rated frequency and voltage when running at governed
speed.
• DO NOT modify generator in any way.
CAUTION
Exceeding generators wattage/amperage capacity can
damage generator and/or electrical devices connected
to it.
• See "Essential Circuits".
• Start generator and let engine stabilize before connecting
electrical loads.
CAUTION
Improper treatment of generator can damage it and
shorten its life.
• Use generator only for intended uses.
• If you have questions about intended use, ask dealer or
