Hot Exhaust Gasses
WARNING: Exhaust fumes/gases are extremely dangerous and can cause severe illness or death. Never breath exhaust fumes produced by a running engine. Only run the engine outdoors where ventilation is plentiful. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless and extremely dangerous gas that can cause unconsciousness or death. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include: dizziness, nausea, headaches, sleepiness, vomiting or incoherence. If you or anyone else experiences these symptoms, get out into fresh air immediately. Stop the engine and do not restart the engine until it has been inspected and if necessary repaired or reinstalled in a well ventilated area.
WARNING: Hot exhaust gasses must never be directed toward anything that may catch fire or explode.
| Exhaust must always be directed away from living areas or buildings that are occupied by people | |
| or animals. Never allow exhaust gases to be directed towards any openings or air entry routes | |
| (doors, windows, vents, etc...) of an occupied building. | |
| The direction of the discharged hot air and hot exhaust gases is important as they have the | |
| potential to create brown spots on the lawn or shrubs. In extreme cases this extremely hot air | |
| could cause dried grass, shrubs, trees or other debris to ignite. | |
| It is also recommended that an exhaust rain cap be used whenever it is possible that rain could | |
| get into the system. This will help to prevent corrosion and damage to the exhaust system and | |
| engine. |

Installation | The generator is completely assembled, tested and adjusted at the factory before it is shipped. | |
| The procedures presented in this manual are suggestions and it is the responsibility of the | |
| Owner/Operator to arrange for these procedures to be performed by licensed contractors | |
| according to all applicable codes including local codes for your Municipality/City/County and | |
| State. External connections required at the time of installation are: | |
| 1. | Electrical Connections − power wiring (optional transfer switch) and control wiring. |
| 2. | Ground Connection. |
After installation, the post installation checks must be performed prior to starting the engine. After these checks have been performed and the system operation is verified to be good, refer to Section 5 Maintenance for periodic checks that must be performed at scheduled intervals to ensure continued operation with minimal problems.
WARNING: Disconnect the battery’s ground terminal before working in the vicinity of the battery or battery wires. Contact with the battery can result in electrical shock when a tool accidently touches the positive battery terminal or wire. The risk of such shock is reduced when the ground lead is removed during installation and maintenance.
Fuel Connections
External fuel connections are not required. A self contained fuel tank is located within the base of the generator set.
