IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
overheating or stressing the generator components,
possibly leading to generator failure.
Use only recommended or equivalent replacement parts
and accessories and follow instructions in the Mainte-
nance section of this manual. Use of any other parts or
failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a
risk of shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
DANGER:
Risk of fire and serious burns: Never remove
fuel cap when unit is running. Shut off engine and
allow the unit to cool at least five minutes. Remove
cap slowly.
WARNING:
When this generator is used to supply a
building wiring system: generator must be
installed by a qualified electrician and connected
to a transfer switch as a separately derived system
in accordance with NFPA 70, National Electrical
Code. The generator shall be connected through a
transfer switch that switches all conductors other
than the equipment grounding conductor. The
frame of the generator shall be connected to an
approved grounding electrode. Failure to isolate
the generator from power utility can result in death
or injury to electric utility workers.
Do not use this generator to provide power for emergency
medical equipment or life support devices.
This generator has a neutral bonded condition. This
means the neutral conductor is electrically connected
to the frame of the machine.
Always use a battery-powered carbon monoxide detector
when running the generator. If you begin to feel sick,
dizzy, or weak while using the generator, shut it off and
get to fresh air immediately. See a doctor. You may have
carbon monoxide poisoning.
Place the generator on a flat, stable surface with a slope
of no more than 4°.
Operate outdoors in a well-ventilated, well-lit area iso-
lated from working areas to avoid noise interference.
Operating the generator in wet conditions could result in
electrocution. Keep the unit dry.
Keep the generator a minimum of 3 feet away from all
types of combustible material.
Do not operate generator near hazardous material.
Maintain the unit per maintenance instructions in this
Operator's Manual.
Inspect the unit before each use for loose fasteners, fuel
leaks, etc. Replace damaged parts.
Do not operate generator at a gas or natural gas filling
station.
Do not touch the muffler or cylinder during or immediately
after use; they are HOT and will cause burn injury.
Do not allow the generator's gas tank to overflow when
filling. Fill to 1 in. below the top neck of the gasoline tank
to allow for fuel expansion. Do not cover the fuel tank cap
when the engine is running. Covering the fuel tank cap
during use may cause engine failure and/or damage to
the tool.
Do not smoke when filling the generator with gasoline.
Shut down the engine and allow to cool for 5 minutes
before adding gasoline or lubricant to the generator.
Do not remove the oil dipstick or the fuel tank cap when
the engine is running.
Pay close attention to all safety labels located on the
generator.
Keep children a minimum of 10 feet away from the
generator at all times.
The unit operates best in temperatures between 23°F and
104°F with a relative humidity of 90% or less.
Operating voltage and frequency requirement of all
electronic equipment should be checked prior to plugging
them into this generator. Damage may result if the
equipment is not designed to operate within a +/- 10%
voltage variation, and +/- 3 hz frequency variation from
the generator name plate ratings. To reduce the risk of
damage, always have an additional load plugged into the
generator if solid state equipment (such as a television
set) is used. A power line conditioner is recommended
for some solid state applications.
When battery is not in use, keep it away from other metal
objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other
small metal objects that can make a connection from
one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
For outdoor use only.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use
them to instruct others who may use this product. If you
loan someone this product, loan them these instructions
also.
