Safety Warnings and Precautions
Before and During Operation
•Do not operate the generator in exposed locations where it will be subjected to wet conditions.
•Do not touch the generator with wet hands, as this may cause severe electric shocks.
•Do not pour water directly over the generator or wash it.
•Do not use or store the generator in the rain or snow.
•Do not cover the generator when in use.
•Always operate the generator on a firm, flat, and level surface, as the generator will vibrate on an irregular surface. If the generator is tilted, fuel may spill or the generator may tip over, causing a hazardous situation.
•Do not connect the generator to another power supply source.
•The engine becomes extremely hot during and immediately after it has been in use. Be careful not to touch any parts of the hot engine, especially the muffler or muffler cover, or serious burns may result.
•Do not connect external equipment to the generator before starting the engine.
•Do not use for life support, or life sustaining systems.
•The output of this generating set is potentially lethal. The set should not be connected to a fixed electrical installation except by an appropriately licensed person.
•Do not operate in a hazardous location, e.g. where there may be a risk of explosion of petrol fumes, leaking gas or explosive dusts.
•Do not operate in a confined area where exhaust gases, smoke or fumes could reach dangerous concentrations.
•Do not refuel while engine is running.
Fire Safety
Generator exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials and burn skin if touched.
•Keep the generator away from buildings, other equipment, and combustible materials during operation.
•Do not enclose the generator in any structure.
