Powerful Voltage: This generator produces powerful voltage, which can result in electrocution.

ALWAYS ground this generator before using it. (See “Ground the Generator” section in this manual).

Only electrical devices should be plugged into this generator, either directly or with an extension cord. NEVER connect a building electrical system to this generator without a qualified electrician. Such connections must isolate generator power from utility power and comply with local electrical laws and codes. Failure to comply can create a back feed into utility lines creating an electrocution hazard, which may result in serious injury or death to utility workers. Such a back feed may cause this generator to explode, burn and create fires when utility power is restored.

Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in highly conductive areas such as metal decking or steel work. GFCIs are available in-line with some extension cords.

Do not use this generator in wet conditions (rain, snow, active sprinkler system, wet hands, etc.). Always keep this generator dry and operate it with dry hands.

Do not touch bare wires or outlets (receptacles).

Do not allow children or non-qualified persons to operate this generator.

High Temperatures: This generator produces heat when in operation. Temperatures near the exhaust can exceed 150 Degrees Fahrenheit (65 Degrees Celsius).

Do not touch hot surfaces. Observe all warning placards on this generator denoting hot surfaces.

Allow this generator to cool for several minutes after use before touching the engine, muffler or other areas that are hot during operation and before storing indoors.

Hot exhaust may ignite some materials. Keep flammable materials away from this generator.

Keep at least several feet of clearance on all sides of this generator during operation. Do not enclose this generator in any structure.

Usage: Misuse of this generator can damage it or shorten its life.

Use this generator only for its intended purpose.

Operate this generator only on a dry, level surface.

Allow this generator to run for several minutes before connecting any electrical devices.

Promptly turn off any malfunctioning devices and disconnect them.

Do not operate an excessive number of electrical devices in excess of the wattage capacity of this generator.

Do not turn on electrical devices until after they are connected to this generator.

Turn off all connected electrical devices before stopping this generator.
