2. Use an extension cord intended for outdoor use with a 3-pole receptacle and a 3-prong plug at opposite ends to
ensure continuity of the ground protection from the generator to the appliance.
Check and adhere to all applicable federal, state, and local regulations relating to grounding specifications. Consult a
qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if in doubt as
to whether the generator is properly grounded.
DANGER:
Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors CAN
KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon
monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or
smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are
breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the
exhaust, you could be breathing CO.
- Never use a generator inside homes, garages,
crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly
levels
of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using
a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT
supply enough fresh air.
- ONLY use a generator outdoors and far away from
open windows, doors, and vents. These openings can
pull in generator exhaust.
Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak
into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or
battery-backup CO alarm in the home. If you start to
feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been
running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor.
You could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below could result in electrocution,
fire, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning, which can
cause death or serious injury.

WARNING:
In some applications, National Electric Code requires
generator to be grounded to an approved earth
ground.
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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions that
should be followed during installation and maintenan-
ce of the generator.
- Do not connect to a building's electrical system unless
the generator and transfer switch have been properly
installed and the electrical output has been verified by
a qualified electrician. The connection must isolate the
generator power from utility power and must comply
with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
- Do not allow children or untrained individuals to use
this unit.
- Do not start or operate the engine in a confined
space, building, near open windows, or in other
unventilated space where dangerous carbon monoxi-
de fumes can collect. Carbon monoxide, a colorless,
odorless, and extremely dangerous gas, can cause
unconsciousness or death.
- Keep all by standers, childrens, and pets at least 10
feet away.
- Wear sturdy and dry shoes or boots. Do not operate
while barefoot.
