RISK OF ELECTROCUTION OR SHOCK
THIS GENERATOR SET PRO-
DUCES ELECTRICAL CURRENT.
THEREFORE, SAFETY GUIDELINES MUST BE FOL-
LOWED. IMPROPER USE OF THIS GENERATOR CAN
RESULT IN ELECTROCUTION, INJURY OR DEATH.
DO NOT OPERATE, SERVICE OR REPAIR THIS GEN-
ERATOR UNLESS FULLY QUALIFIED TO DO SO.
THIS GENERATOR SET IS
DESIGNED TO BE OPERATED IN
DRY CONDITIONS AND FOR OUTDOOR AREAS
ONLY. NEVER OPERATE THIS GENERATOR
INDOORS. NEVER OPERATE THIS GENERATOR IN
RAIN, SNOW, SLEET OR GENERALLY WET CONDI-
TIONS. DAMAGE TO THE GENERATOR, BODILY
INJURY, OR DEATH COULD RESULT FROM ELEC-
TROCUTION.
IF THIS GENERATOR IS CON-
NECTED TO A BUILDING, HOME,
BUSINESS, OR ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT
NORMALLY FED BY UTILITY POWER, STEPS MUST
BE TAKEN TO INSURE THE GENERATOR OUTPUT
AND THE UTILITY POWER ARE POSITIVELY ISO-
LATED. THIS IS TYPICALLY ACCOMPLISHED
THROUGH THE USE OF A PROPERLY INSTALLED
TRANSFER SWITCH. FAILURE TO ISOLATE THE
UTILITY AND GENERATOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
WILL RESULT IN GENERATOR DAMAGE AND COULD
RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO UTILITY WORK-
ERS DUE TO THE BACKFEED OF ELECTRICITY.
TO AVOID BACKFEEDING INTO
UTILITY SYSTEMS, ISOLATION OF
THE RESIDENCE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS
REQUIRED. BEFORE CONNECTION OF A GENERA-
TOR TO THE RESIDENCE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH. BEFORE MAKING
PERMANENT CONNECTIONS A DOUBLE THROW
TRANSFER SWITCH MUST BE INSTALLED. TO AVOID
ELECTROCUTION OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, ONLY A
TRAINED ELECTRICIAN SHOULD CONNECT GENER-
ATOR TO RESIDENCE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. CALI-
FORNIA LAW REQUIRES ISOLATION OF THE
RESIDENCE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEFORE CON-
NECTING A GENERATOR TO RESIDENCE ELECTRI-
CAL SYSTEMS. TEMPORARY CONNECTION NOT
RECOMMENDED DUE TO BACKFEEDING.
ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL CODES AND REGULA-
TIONS THAT APPLY TO THE INSTALLATION OF ANY
ITEM THAT CONCERNS THIS PRODUCT.

DO NOT MODIFY OR MISAPPLY
YOUR GENERATOR SET. OPERA-
TION OF THE GENERATOR OTHER THAN INTENDED
COULD RESULT IN GENERATOR SET DAMAGE,
BODILY INJURY OR EVEN DEATH FROM ELECTRO-
CUTION.
NEVER TOUCH A RECEPTACLE OR
BARE WIRE. ELECTROCUTION OR
SHOCK COULD RESULT.
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION
ALWAYS INSURE THAT AT LEAST 6
WARNING
FEET OF CLEARANCE ON ALL
SIDES OF THE GENERATOR ARE MAINTAINED
DURING OPERATION. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN
PROPER CLEARANCE COULD DAMAGE YOUR GEN-
ERATOR AND POTENTIALLY LEAD TO FIRES.
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE
WARNING
AND ITS VAPORS ARE EXPLOSIVE.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY HANDLE GASOLINE CAN
RESULT IN EXPLOSION OR FIRE. DO NOT PERMIT
SMOKING WITHIN 50FT OF THIS GENERATOR SET.
NEVER REFILL A HOT GENERA-
WARNING
TOR WITH FUEL. NEVER REFILL
THE GENERATOR WHILE IT IS RUNNING. SPILLAGE
ONTO THE ENGINE OR GENERATOR COULD
RESULT IN AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE. ALWAYS
ALLOW THE GENERATOR SET TO COOL BEFORE
REFILLING.
DO NOT STORE THIS GENERATOR
WARNING
SET IN ANY LOCATION WHERE
GASOLINE FUMES COULD POTENTIALLY COME
INTO CONTACT WITH SPARKS, A PILOT LIGHT OR
AN OPEN FLAME. IMPROPER STORAGE OF THIS
GENERATOR COULD RESULT IN AN EXPLOSION OR
FIRE.
INSPECT THE SPARK ARRESTOR
WARNING
PERIODICALLY. SPARK ARRES-
TORS ARE REQUIRED IN SOME AREAS AND MINI-
MIZE THE RISK OF FIRE FROM SPARKS EMMITTED
FROM THE EXHAUST.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS GENERA-
WARNING
TOR IF THE AMBIENT TEMPERA-
TURE EXCEEDS 104ºF/40ºC.
DO NOT EXCEED THE RATED
WARNING
CAPACITY OF THE GENERATOR.
THE TOTAL ELECTRICAL LOADS AT EACH OUTLET
MUST BE ADDED TO DETERMINE THE TOTAL ELEC-
TRICAL LOAD. THE TOTAL LOAD MUST NOT
EXCEED THE RATED CAPACITY OF THE GENERA-
TOR. IF THE DRIVEN APPARATUS DOES NOT LIST
WATTAGE, BUT ONLY AMPERAGE, WATTAGE MAY
BE DETERMINED BY MULTIPLYING AMPERAGE
TIMES VOLTAGE (WATTS = AMPS X VOLTS).
