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.

NOTE: If engine starts but fails to run, or if unit shuts down during operation, make sure unit is on a level surface and check for proper oil level in crankcase.This unit may be equipped with a low oil protection device. See engine manual.

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.

Connecting Electrical Loads

•Plug in and turn on the desired 120 and/or 240 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.

•DO NOT connect 240 Volt loads to the 120 Volt duplex receptacles.

•DO NOT connect 3–phase loads to the generator.

•DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.

•DO NOT OVERLOAD GENERATOR. See “Don’t Overload Generator”.

Stopping the Engine

1.Unplug all electrical loads from generator panel receptacles. NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned ON.

2.Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize internal temperatures of engine and generator.

3.Turn engine off according to engine owner’s manual.
