GENERAL SAFETY RULES
!
DANGER
Never use the inverter in a location
that is wet or damp. Never expose the
inverter to rain, snow, water spray or
standing water while in use. Protect
the inverter from all hazardous weather
conditions. Moisture or ice can cause a
short circuit or other malfunction in the
electrical circuit.
Never operate the inverter in an
enclosed area. Engine exhaust
contains carbon monoxide. Only
operate the inverter outside and away
from windows, doors and vents.
!
WARNING
Voltage produced by the inverter could
result in death or serious injury.
• Never operate the inverter in rain or a
floodplain unless proper precautions
are taken to avoid being subject to
rain or a flood.
• Never use worn or damaged
extension cords.
• Always have a licensed electrician
connect the inverter to the utility
circuit.
• Never touch an operating inverter if
the inverter is wet or if you have wet
hands.
• Never operate the inverter in highly
conductive areas such as around
metal decking or steel works.

WARNING
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable and explosive
under certain conditions.
• Always refuel the inverter outdoors,
in a well-ventilated area.
• Never remove the fuel cap with the
engine running.
• Never refuel the inverter while the
engine is running. Always turn
engine off and allow the inverter to
cool before refueling.
• Only fill fuel tank with gasoline.
• Keep sparks, open flames or other
form of ignition (such as match,
cigarette, static electric source) away
when refueling.
• Never overfill the fuel tank. Leave
room for fuel to expand. Overfilling
the fuel tank can result in a sudden
overflow of gasoline and result in
spilled gasoline coming in contact
with HOT surfaces. Spilled fuel can
ignite. If fuel is spilled on the inverter,
wipe up any spills immediately.
Dispose of rag properly. Allow area
of spilled fuel to dry before operating
the inverter.
• Wear eye protection while refueling.
• Never use gasoline as a cleaning
agent.
• Store any containers containing
gasoline in a well-ventilated area,
away from any combustibles or
source of ignition.
• Check for fuel leaks after refueling.
Never operate the engine if a fuel leak
is discovered.
