IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Residential Portable Generator System

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

•All generators covered by this manual produce dangerous electrical voltages and can cause fatal electrical shock. Utility power delivers extremely high and dangerous voltages as does the generator when it is in operation. Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals, connections, etc., while the unit is running. Ensure all appropriate covers, guards and barriers are in place before operating the generator. If you must work around an operating unit, stand on an insulated, dry surface to reduce shock hazard.

•Do not handle any kind of electrical device while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.

DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY RESULT.

•The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires the frame and external electrically conductive parts of the generator to be connected to an approved earth ground. Local electrical codes also may require proper grounding of the generator electrical system.

•In case of accident caused by electric shock, immediately shut down the source of electrical power. If this is not possible, attempt to free the victim from the live conductor. AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a non-conducting implement, such as a rope or board, to free the victim from the live conductor. If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid and get immediate medical help.

•Never wear jewelry when working on this equipment. Jewelry can conduct electricity resulting in electric shock, or may get caught in moving components causing injury.

EXPLOSION HAZARDS

•Do not smoke around the generator. Wipe up any fuel or oil spills immediately. Ensure that no combustible materials are left on or near the generator, as FIRE or EXPLOSION may result. Keep the area surrounding the generator clean and free from debris.

•Gasoline is extremely EXPLOSIVE.

FIRE HAZARDS

• For fire safety, the generator must be operated and maintained properly. Operation always must comply with applicable codes, standards, laws and regulations. Adhere strictly to local, state and national electrical and building codes. Comply with regulations the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has established. Also, ensure that the generator is operated in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations. Do not alter the construction of generator or change controls which might create an unsafe operating condition.

•Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator at all times. Extinguishers rated “ABC” by the National Fire Protection Association are appropriate for use on the standby electric system. Keep the extinguisher properly charged and be familiar with its use. If you have any question pertaining to fire extinguishers, consult your local fire department.
