Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea, fainting or death. • Operate generator ONLY outdoors. • Keep at least 2 feet of clearance on all sides of generator for adequate ventilation. • DO NOT operate generator inside any building or enclosure, including the generator compartment of a recreational vehicle (RV). DANGER Failure to properly ground generator can result in electrocution, especially if the generator is equipped with a wheel kit. Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas during recharging. Hydrogen gas stays around battery for a long time after battery has been charged. Slightest spark will ignite hydrogen and cause explosion. You can be blinded or severely injured. Battery electrolyte fluid contains acid and is extremely caustic. Contact with battery fluid will cause severe chemical burns. • DO NOT allow any open flame, spark, heat, or lit cigarette during and for several minutes after charging a battery. • Wear protective goggles, rubber apron, and rubber gloves. • National Electric Code requires generator to be properly grounded to an approved earth ground. Call an electrician for local grounding requirements. DANGER Generator produces powerful voltage. Failure to isolate generator from power utility can result in death or injury to electric utility workers due to backfeed of electrical energy. WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death. WHEN ADDING FUEL • Turn generator OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing gas cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank. • Fill fuel tank outdoors. • DO NOT overfill tank.Allow space for fuel expansion. • Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources. • DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke. WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT • DO NOT tip engine or equipment at angle which causes fuel to spill. • This generator is not for use in mobile equipment or marine applications. WHEN TRANSPORTING OR REPAIRING EQUIPMENT • Transport/repair with fuel tank EMPTY or with fuel shutoff valve OFF. • Disconnect spark plug wire. WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK • Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition source because they can ignite fuel vapors. • When using generator for backup power, notify utility company. Use approved transfer equipment to isolate generator from electric utility. • Use a ground circuit fault interrupter (GFCI) in any damp or highly conductive area, such as metal decking or steel work. • DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles. • DO NOT use generator with electrical cords which are worn, frayed, bare or otherwise damaged. • DO NOT operate generator in the rain. • DO NOT handle generator or electrical cords while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet. • DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to operate or service generator. WARNING • • This generator does not meet U. S. Coast Guard Regulation 33CFR-183 and should not be used on marine applications. Failure to use the appropriate U. S. Coast Guard approved generator could result in bodily injury and/or property damage. 3 Portable Generator WHEN ADJUSTING OR MAKING REPAIRS TO YOUR GENERATOR • Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and place the wire where it cannot contact spark plug. Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock. WARNING Exceeding generators wattage/amperage capacity can damage generator and/or electrical devices connected to it. CAUTION • See “Don’t Overload Generator” on page 11. • Start generator and let engine stabilize before connecting electrical loads. • Connect electrical loads in OFF position, then turn ON for operation. • Turn electrical loads OFF and disconnect from generator before stopping generator. Improper treatment of generator can damage it and shorten its life. CAUTION • DO NOT touch hot surfaces. • Allow equipment to cool before touching. Severe burns can occur on contact. Running engines produce heat.Temperature of muffler and nearby areas can reach or exceed 150°F (65°C). WARNING • Use generator only for intended uses. • If you have questions about intended use, ask dealer or call 1-800-743-4115. • Operate generator only on level surfaces. • DO NOT expose generator to excessive moisture, dust, dirt, or corrosive vapors. • DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots. • If connected devices overheat, turn them off and disconnect them from generator. • Shut off generator if: -electrical output is lost; -equipment sparks, smokes, or emits flames; -unit vibrates excessively. Excessively high operating speeds increase risk of injury and damage to generator. Excessively low speeds impose a heavy load. CAUTION • DO NOT tamper with governed speed. Generator supplies correct rated frequency and voltage when running at governed speed. • DO NOT modify generator in any way. 4 Portable Generato...
