General Safety Precautions (cont'd)
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Personal Safety (cont'd)
•
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the generator on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the generator may result in personal injury.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
•
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Wear ANSI approved safety impact eye goggles. Dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, safety gloves, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
• Do not use the generator if the power switch does not turn it on or off. Any generator
that cannot be controlled with the power switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
• Do not force the generator. Use the correct generator for your application. The correct
generator will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
•
The generator weighs 187 lbs. Two or more people should assist when moving or lifting this product. Never lift the
Generator using the engine or alternator lifting lugs. Connect lifting equipment to the Frame of the generator.
Generator Use and Care
•
Make sure the power switch is in its "OFF" position and disconnect the spark plug wire before making any
adjustment, changing accessories, or storing the generator. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the generator accidentally.
•
Store idle generators out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Generators are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
•
Maintain generators with care. Do not use a damaged generator. Tag damaged generators "Do not use" until
repaired.
•
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the
generator's operation. If damaged, have the generator serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained generators.
•
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one generator may become hazardous when used on another generator.
Servicing
•
Maintain labels and name plates on the generator and engine. These carry important information. If unreadable or
missing, contact Smarter Tools immediately for a replacement.
•
Generator service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
•
When servicing a generator, use only identical replacement parts. Follow all appropriate instructions in this
manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock
or injury.
