• Never use the generatoror any of its parts as a step. Stepping
on the unit can stress and break parts, and may result in
dangerous operating conditions from leaking exhaust gases,
fuel leakage,oil leakage,etc.
NOTE:
This generatoris equipped with a spark arrestor muffler. The
spark arrestor must be maintained in effective working order
by the owner/operator. In the State of California, a spark
arrestoris required by law (Section 4442 of the California
PublicResourcesCode). Other states may have similar laws.
Federal laws apply on federal lands.
EXHAUST & LOCATIONHAZARDS
• Never operate in an enclosed area or indoors!NEVERuse in
the home,or in partly enclosed areas suchas garages, even
if doors and windowsare open! ONLYuse outdoors and far
from open windows,doors, vents,and in an area thatwill not
accumulatedeadly exhaust.
Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES,
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide.
This is
a poison you cannot see or smell,
NEVER use inside a home
or garage, EVEN iF doors
and windows are open.
Only use OUTSIDE and
far away from windows,
doors,and vents.
• The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which
can you cannot see or smell. This poisonous gas, if breathed
in sufficient concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or
evendeath.
• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilating air
is critical to correct generator operation. Do not alter the
installation or permit even partial blockage of ventilation
provisions, as this can seriously affect safe operation of the
generator.The generatorMUST be operatedoutdoors.
• This exhaust system must be properly maintained.Do nothing
that mightrenderthe exhaustsystemunsafeor in noncompliance
with any local codes and/or standards.
• Always use a battery operatedcarbon monoxidealarm indoors,
installed according to the manufacturersinstructions.
• If you start to feet sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has
been running,move to fresh air IMMEDIATELY See a doctor,as
you could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
• The generator produces dangerously high voltage when in
operation.Avoidcontactwith barewires,terminals,connections,
etc., while the unit is running, even on equipment connected
to the generator. Ensure all appropriate covers, guards and
barriers are in place beforeoperatingthe generator.
• Never handle any kind of electrical cord or device while
standing in water,while barefoot or while handsor feet are wet.
DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL S HOCKMAY RESULT.
• TheNationalElectricCode (NEC)requirestheframe and external
electrically conductive parts of the generator be properly
connectedto an approvedearth ground. Local electricalcodes
may also require proper grounding of the generator.Consult
with a local electricianfor groundingrequirementsin the area.
• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter in any damp or highly
conductive area (such as metal decking or steel work).
• Do not useworn, bare,frayed or otherwise damagedelectrical
cord sets with the generator.
• Beforeperforming anymaintenanceon thegenerator,disconnect
the engine starting battery (if equipped) to prevent accidental
start up. Disconnectthe cable from the battery post indicated
by a NEGATIVE, NEGor (-) first. Reconnectthat cable last.
• In case of accident caused by electric shock, immediately shut
down the source of electrical power. If this is not possible,
attempt to free the victim from the live conductor. AVOID
DIRECTCONTACT WITH THE VICTIM, Use a non-conducting
implement, such as a rope or board,to free the victim from the
live conductor. If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid and
get immediatemedical help.
FIREHAZARDS
• Gasoline ishighlyFLAMMABLE and itsvaporsare EXPLOSIVE.
Do not permit smoking,open flames, sparks or heat in the
vicinitywhile handlinggasoline.
• Neveradd fuel while unit is running or hot. Allow engineto cool
completely before addingfuel.
• Never fill fuel tank indoors. Comply with all laws regulating
storage and handlingof gasoline.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always allow room for fuel
expansion. If tank is over=filled,fuel can overflow onto a hot
engineand cause FIREor an EXPLOSION. Neverstore generator
with fuel in tank where gasoline vapors might reach an open
flame, spark or pilot light (as on a furnace, water heater or
clothes dryer). FIREor EXPLOSION may result. Allow unit to
cool entirely before storage.
• Wipe up any fuel or oil spills immediately. Ensure that no
combustiblematerialsare left on or nearthe generator.Keepthe
area surroundingthe generatorclean and free from debris and
keep a clearance of five (5) feet on all side to allow for proper
ventilationof the generator.
• Do not insert objectsthrough unit's cooling slots.
• Do not operate the generator if connected electrical devices
overheat,if electricaloutput is lost, if engineor generatorsparks
or if flames or smoke are observed while unit is running.
• Keep a fire extinguishernearthe generatorat all times.
