WARNING Propane and Natural Gas are extremely

flammable and explosive, which could cause

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

t Install the fuel supply system according to NFPA 37 and other applicable fuel-gas codes.

t Before placing the generator into service, the fuel system lines must be properly purged and leak tested.

t After the generator is installed, you should inspect the fuel system periodically.

t NO leakage is permitted.

t DO NOT operate engine if smell of fuel is present or other explosive conditions exist.

t DO NOT smoke around the generator. Wipe up any oil spills immediately. Ensure that no combustible materials are left in the generator compartment. Keep the area near the generator clean and free of debris.

WARNING Hazardous Voltage - Contact with power

lines could cause electric shock or burns,

resulting in death or serious injury.

Lifting Hazard / Heavy Object - Could result in serious injury.

t If lifting or hoisting equipment is used, DO NOT contact any power lines.

t DO NOT lift or move generator without assistance.

t Use lifting pipes as described in Lifting the Generator.

t DO NOT lift unit by roof as damage to generator will occur.

WARNING Generator produces hazardous voltage. Failure to properly ground generator could result in electrocution.

Failure to isolate generator from utility power could result in death or serious injury to electric utility workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.

t When using generator for backup power, notify utility company.

t DO NOT touch bare wires or bare receptacles.

t DO NOT use generator with electrical cords which are worn, frayed, bare or otherwise damaged.

t DO NOT handle generator or electrical cords while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.

t If you must work around a unit while it is operating, stand on an insulated dry surface to reduce the risk of a shock hazard.

t DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to operate or service generator.

t In case of an accident caused by electrical shock, immediately shut down the source of electrical power and contact the local authorities. Avoid direct contact with the victim.

t Despite the safe design of the generator, operating this equipment imprudently, neglecting its maintenance or being careless could cause possible injury or death.

t Remain alert at all times while working on this equipment. Never work on the equipment when you are physically or mentally fatigued.

t Before performing any maintenance on the generator, disconnect the battery cable indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (-) first. When finished, reconnect that cable last.

t After your system is installed, the generator may crank and start without warning any time there is a power failure. To prevent possible injury, always set the generator’s system switch to OFF, remove the service disconnect from the disconnect box AND remove the 15 Amp fuse BEFORE working on the equipment.
