Read Manual

The safety alert symbol indicates a potential personal injury hazard. A signal word (DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION) is used with the alert symbol to designate a degree or level of hazard seriousness. A safety symbol may be used to represent the type of hazard. The signal word NOTICE is used to address practices not related to personal injury.

DANGER indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

NOTICE addresses practices not related to personal injury.

The manufacturer cannot possibly anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a hazard. The warnings in this manual, and the tags and decals affixed to the unit are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If you use a procedure, work method or operating technique that the manufacturer does not specifically recommend, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and others. You must also make sure that the procedure, work method or operating technique that you choose does not render the generator system unsafe.

WARNING Running engine gives off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas.

Breathing carbon monoxide could result in death, serious injury, headache, fatigue, dizziness, vomiting, confusion, seizures, nausea or fainting.

t Operate this product ONLY outdoors in an area that will not accumulate deadly exhaust gas.

t Keep exhaust gas away from any windows, doors, ventilation intakes, soffit vents, crawl spaces, open garage doors or other openings that can allow exhaust gas

to enter inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied building or structure.

t Carbon monoxide detector(s) MUST be installed and maintained indoors according to the manufacturer’s instructions/recommendations. Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.

WARNING The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

WARNING Certain components in this product and related accessories contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

WARNING Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas during recharging.

Slightest spark will ignite hydrogen

and cause explosion, resulting in death, serious injury and/or property damage.

Battery electrolyte fluid contains acid and is extremely caustic.

Contact with battery contents could cause severe chemical burns.

A battery presents a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current.

t DO NOT dispose of battery in a fire. Recycle battery.

t DO NOT allow any open flame, spark, heat, or lit cigarette during and for several minutes after charging a battery.

t DO NOT open or mutilate the battery.

t Wear protective goggles, rubber apron, rubber boots and rubber gloves.

t Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects. t Use tools having insulated handles.
