SAFETY RULES

 

 

 

WARNING

Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will pull hand and arm toward engine faster than you can let go.

Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could result.

•When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.

•NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned on.

WARNING

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.

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.

WHEN TESTING FOR ENGINE SPARK

•Use approved spark plug tester.

•DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed.

WARNING

Running engines produce heat.Temperature of muffler and nearby areas can reach or exceed 150°F (65°C).

Severe burns can occur on contact.

Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire.

•DO NOT touch hot surfaces.

•Allow equipment to cool before touching.

•The generator must be at least 5 feet from structures having combustible walls and/or other combustible materials.

•Keep at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides of generator for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing.

•In the State of California a spark arrester is required by law (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands. If you equip the muffler with a spark arrester, it must be maintained in effective working order.
