BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR
WARNING:
Read and understand the Important Safety Rules before starting the generator.
Location Selection
– To avoid exhaust and location hazards, select location with following conditions.
Outdoors and well ventilated.
A level and solid surface on which to place the generator.
At least 20 feet away from any building, other equipment or combustible material. If the generator is located close to
a building, make sure it is not located near any windows, doors and/or vents.
DANGER:
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 it in a home or garage, even if doors and windows
are open. Only use OUTSIDE and FAR AWAY from windows, doors, and vents.
WARNING:
Always operate the generator on a level surface. Placing the generator on nonlevel surfaces
can cause the generator to tip over, causing fuel and oil to spill. Spilled fuel can ignite if it comes in contact with an
ignition source such as a very hot surface.

CAUTION:
Starting the generator with loads already applied to it could result in damage to any appliance being
powered off the generator during the brief start-up period.
Grounding the Generator

with eye, flush thoroughly with water. If irritation occurs, get medical assistance.
Always use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements
for API service classification SJ. 10W-30 is recommended to for general,

used when the average temperature in your area is within the indicated
range.
CAUTION:
