Electrical Shock Hazards

Use extreme caution when near the generator while it is
operating. The generator produces dangerous voltage.
Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals and connections while
the generator is operating.
ALWAYS stand on an insulated dry surface to reduce shock
hazard if work must be done on an operating generator.
NEVER wear jewelry that can conduct electricity when working
on the generator.
NEVER handle any kind of electrical device while hands or feet
are wet, while standing in water or while barefoot.
Proper earth grounding of the frame and external electrical
conductive components is required by the National Electrical
Code (NEC). State and local codes for proper grounding may
also apply.
Avoid direct contact with an electric shock victim. Immediately
shut down the source of electrical power. If this is not possible,
attempt to free the victim from the live conductor using a
nonconducting item such as a dry board or rope. If the victim
is unconscious, apply first aid and call 911 immediately.
fire/Explosion Hazards

Natural Gas (NG) and Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) and their
vapors are extremely explosive.
NEVER allow any flames or smoke near the fuel system.
Wipe up any oil spills immediately.
NEVER allow any combustible materials to be near the
generator or to be left in the generator compartment.
ALWAYS keep the surrounding area near the generator clean
and free of debris.
Be sure to properly purge the fuel lines and leak-test according
to applicable codes before placing the generator in service.
Be sure to regularly inspect the fuel system for leaks. NEVER
operate the generator if a fuel leak is present.
Install a fire extinguisher near the generator. Keep it properly
charged and be familiar with its use. An ABC rated National
Fire Protection extinguisher is appropriate for use on standby
electric systems. Contact your local fire department with any
questions concerning the fire extinguisher.

DO NOT wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling drawstrings or
items that could become caught.
Battery Hazards
Always read and follow the battery
manufacturer's instructions on safety,
maintenance and installation procedures.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid and generate
explosive mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen
gases.
Always keep any device that may cause
sparks or flames away from the battery to
prevent explosion.
Always wear protective glasses or goggles
