RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

CAUTION:CAUTION:

DO NOT touch or open any of the below mentioned components while the generator is running. Always allow sufficient time for the engine and generator to cool before performing maintenance.

NEVER touch output terminals during operation. This is extremely dangerous. Always stop the machine when contact with the output terminals.

CAUTION:

Backfeed to a utility system can cause electrocution and.or property damage. Do not connect to any building's electrical system except through an approved device or after building main switch is opened.

Radiator

1.Radiator Cap - Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot due to high pressure, will result in boiling water to gush out of the radiator, therefore causing severe scalding to any persons in the general area of the generator.

2.Coolant Drain Plug - Removing the coolant drain plug while the engine is hot will result in hot coolant to gush out of the coolant drain plug, therefore causing severe scalding to any persons in the general area of the generator.

3.Engine Oil Drain Plug - Removing the engine oil drain plug while the engine is hot will result in hot oil to gush out of the oil drain plug, therefore causing severe scalding to any persons in the general area of the generator.

CAUTION:

Never use damaged or worn cables when connecting power tools or equipment to the generator. Make sure power connecting cables are securely connected to the generator’s output terminals, insufficient tightening of the terminal connections may cause damage to the generator and electrical shock.
