OPERATION

GENERAL INFORMATION

This generator is not large enough to power your entire home. Do not connect generator to any existing electrical circuits. Plug items directly into generator receptacles. Do not exceed amperage rating of receptacles. Only use grounded cords.

DANGER: Use only in well- vented areas. Make sure area has plenty of free-moving, fresh, outside air. Never run generator in an enclosed or confined area. Never run generator inside oc- cupied building. Engine exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas. Overexposure will cause loss of consciousness and will lead to death.

DANGER: Never connect gen- erator to any existing electrical circuits. The generator output will back-feed into the utility power line. This may electrocute a power company line repair person.Also, if generator is powering electrical circuits, the chance of an electri- cal fire exists.

Note: We supply the engine owner’s manual with generator. Refer to that manual for ques- tions concerning engine operation.
