Summary of Important Safety Information for Operation (cont’d)

Installation / Initial Set-up Safety

•Dry, level surface. Situate generator on a dry, firm, level surface. Ensure generator sits level and will not slide or shift during operation. Block wheels if applicable.

•Operate OUTSIDE only – dangerous carbon monoxide exhaust! Generators give off carbon monoxide exhaust, a poisonous gas that can kill. You CANNOT smell it, see it, or taste it. ONLY run generator OUTDOORS and away from building air intakes. NEVER run generator inside homes, garages, sheds, or other semi-enclosed spaces. These spaces can trap poisonous gases, EVEN if you run a fan or open windows. Carbon monoxide is given off whether you are using gasoline, natural gas, or propane to power the generator.

•No vehicle/marine use. This generator is NOT designed or approved for use in vehicles or marine applications. Never run the generator inside RVs or other vehicles, on boats, or on pick-up truck beds.

•Cooling ventilation. The generator needs adequate, unobstructed flow of air to allow for proper cooling of engine and generator head. Situate so there is adequate clearance around generator to allow for cooling airflow. Do not allow debris to accumulate and block airflow.

•Grounding. Always ensure generator is properly grounded to prevent electrical shock. This generator is equipped with a grounding post. Always complete the grounding path from the generator to a copper pipe/rod driven into moist earth to a sufficient depth. Check with an electrician for local grounding requirements. If a licensed electrician installs the generator with a connection to your building’s electrical circuit for use as a standby power system, grounding will be complete through the building’s grounding system.

•Isolate connection to building’s electrical circuit. Never plug the generator directly into a wall outlet. ANY connection to a building’s electrical system MUST ISOLATE THE GENERATOR FROM UTILITY POWER via an UL-approved transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician in compliance with all applicable local building and electrical codes. If the generator is not isolated from the utility power system by such means, generator output will backfeed into the utility power grid. This may result in injury or death to utility power workers or others who contact the lines during a power outage. It may also cause the generator to explode or cause fires when utility power is restored.

•Wet conditions. Water conducts electricity. Do not operate generator where it is wet. Operate on a dry surface under an open, canopy-like structure.

•CO alarms. Ensure that working, battery-operated or battery back-up carbon monoxide alarms are used in any dwelling/structure that is in close proximity to the running generator.

•Hot exhaust - fires. Exhaust from engine can be extremely hot and cause fire. Position muffler at least 7’ from combustible objects during operation.

•Spark arrestor. Equip engine with a spark arrestor if generator will be used near any ignitable forest, brush, or grassy land. See the “Specifications” section of this manual to determine if your generator is already equipped. Make sure you comply with applicable local, state and federal codes.

•Fire extinguisher. Keep a fire extinguisher rated “ABC” by the National Fire Protection Association nearby. Keep it properly charged and be familiar with its use.

Safety – Before Use

Know how to operate

•Review safety rules. Before each use of this generator, review the “Rules for Safe Operation.” Failure to follow these rules may result in serious injury or death.

•Know how to operate. Be thoroughly familiar with all controls and with the proper use of the equipment. Know how to stop the generator quickly if needed.

Personal protective equipment

•Hearing protection. The use of ear plugs or other hearing protection device is recommended for those in close proximity to the generator while it is operating.

•Loose / dangling. Loose or dangling apparel can become entangled in moving parts. Metal jewelry can conduct electricity. Never wear jewelry or loose-fitting clothing when operating the generator.
