RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

NEVER touch the hot exhaust manifold, muffler or cylinder. Allow these parts to cool before servicing engine or generator.

HighTemperatures – Allow the engine to cool before adding fuel or performing service and maintenance functions. Contact with hot components can cause serious burns.

The engine of this generator requires an adequate free flow of cooling air. Never operate the generator in any enclosed or narrow area where free flow of the air is restricted. If the air flow is restricted it will cause serious damage to the generator or engine and may cause injury to people. The generator engine gives off DEADLY carbon monoxide gas.

CAUTION:

Always refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from sparks and open flames.

Always use extreme caution when working with flammable liquids. When refueling, stop the engine and allow it to cool. DO NOT smoke around or near the machine. Fire or explosion could result from fuel vapors, or if fuel is spilled on a hot engine.

NEVER operate the generator in an explosive atmosphere or near combustible materials. An explosion or fire could result causing severe bodily harm or even death.

Topping-off to filler port is dangerous, as it tends to spill fuel.
