Safety Messages

Safety is important to us. We have included safety messages throughout this manual and on the generator for your protection. Please read and follow all directions.

A safety message has a safety alert symbol followed by an explanation of what the hazard is, what can happen and what you should do to avoid injury. This is the safety alert symbol:

The safety alert symbol and "WARNING" or "CAUTION" will precede all safety messages:

CAUTION

You might be injured if you don't follow instructions.

Damage Prevention Messages

A damage prevention message has "ATTENTION" with an explanation of what the equipment hazard is and what you should do to avoid damaging your generator:

Generator Hazards

Read and understand the information provided in this manual before operating your generator.

Operator Responsibility

Know how to stop the generator quickly in case of an emergency.

Understand the use of all generator controls, output receptacles and connections.

Ensure that anyone who operates the generator has proper instruction. Do not let children operate the generator.

Carbon Monoxide Hazard

Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas. Breathing exhaust may cause a loss of consciousness or even death.

Maintain adequate ventilation when operating the generator to keep a dangerous amount of exhaust gas from building up. Do not operate in a partially confined or enclosed area.

Electric Shock Hazard

A generator is a potential source of electrical shock that could cause electrocution. Do not expose the generator to moisture, rain or snow. Do not operate the generator with wet hands.

If the generator is stored outdoors and unprotected from weather, check all electrical components on the control panel before each use. Moisture or ice can cause a malfunction or short circuit in electrical components, which can result in electrocution.

Do not connect the generator to a building's electrical system unless an isolation switch has been installed by a qualified electrician.

Fire and Burn Hazards

The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials. Keep the generator at least three feet (one meter) away from buildings and other equipment. Do not enclose the generator in any structure. Keep flammable materials away from the generator.

The generator's muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for some time after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler while it's hot. Allow the engine to cool before storing it indoors.

Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks during refueling or where gasoline is stored. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.

Fuel vapors are extremely flammable and may ignite after the engine starts. Wipe up any spilled fuel before starting the generator.
