SAFETY
The generator neutral is floating. The generator ground
terminal is connected to the frame of the generator, the
metal non-current-carrying parts of the generator, and
the ground terminals of each receptacle. The generator
(stator winding) is isolated from the frame and from
the AC receptacle ground pin. Electrical devices that
require a grounded receptacle pin connection may not
function properly.
If this generator will be used only with cord and plug
equipment connected to the receptacles mounted on
the generator, National Electric Code does not require
that the unit be grounded. However, other methods of
using the generator may require grounding to reduce
the risk of shock or electrocution.
Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified
electrician, electrical inspector, or local agency having
jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances that apply to
the intended use of the generator.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR GASOLINE
AND GASOLINE VAPOR
DANGER
Gasoline is highly explosive and flammable and
can cause severe burns or death.
WARNING
loosen or remove the fuel cap while the generator
is running. Turn the unit off and allow it to cool for at
least five minutes before adding gasoline. Loosen
the fuel cap slowly.
WARNING
not attempt to extinguish the flame unless the
engine/fuel control switch is in the OFF
Introducing an extinguisher to a generator with an
open fuel switch could create an explosion hazard.
l Fire Hazard. Gasoline is highly flammable. Handle with
care.
l Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent.
l Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up
immediately if it comes in contact with the skin.
l Do not store gasoline near furnaces, water heaters,
or any other appliances that produce heat or have
automatic ignitions.
l Keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames, pilot
lights, heat, and other sources of ignition.
l Store any containers containing gasoline in a well-
ventilated area, away from any combustibles or source
of ignition.
l ALWAYS store gasoline in a container approved
for gasoline. Unapproved containers can break or

deteriorate allowing gasoline or gasoline vapors to
escape which can create a serious hazard.
l Gasoline has a distinctive odor, this will help detect
potential leaks quickly.
l Gas vapors can cause a fire if ignited.
l Do not smoke when handling fuel, adding fuel to the
generator, or emptying the gas tank.
l Wear eye protection while refueling.
l Before adding fuel to the generator, turn the unit off and
allow it to cool a minimum of five minutes. If necessary,
move the unit to level ground.
l Do not remove the fuel tank cap when the generator is
running.
l Loosen the fuel cap slowly to safely release pressure,
keep gasoline from escaping around the cap, and to
avoid the heat from the muffler igniting fuel vapors.
position.
l NEVER fill the generator's gasoline tank beyond the
maximum fill ring on the fuel screen. Keeping gasoline
levels at or below the fill ring will allow for fuel expansion.
Overfilling the fuel tank can result in a sudden overflow
of gasoline and result in spilled gasoline coming in
contact with HOT surfaces.
l Spilled fuel can ignite. Wipe up spills immediately
and allow area to dry before operating the generator.
NEVER attempt to burn off spilled fuel.
l Securely tighten the fuel cap after adding gasoline.
l Do not cover the fuel cap while the generator is in
operation. Covering the cap may cause the engine to
fail or damage the product.
l Drain fuel before storing the unit. Store the unit and
the fuel separately in well-ventilated areas away from
sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other sources
of ignition.
l Turn the unit off and allow it to cool a minimum of 30
minutes before draining fuel.
