WARNING

Running generator gives off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas.

Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea, fainting or death.

•Operate generator ONLY outdoors.

•Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings.

•DO NOT operate generator inside any building or enclosure, including the generator compartment of a recreational vehicle (RV).

WARNING

Generator produces powerful voltage.

Failure to isolate generator from power utility can result in death or injury to electric utility workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.

•When using generator for backup power, notify utility company. Use approved transfer equipment to isolate generator from electric utility.

•Use a ground circuit fault interrupter (GFCI) in any damp or highly conductive area, such as metal decking or steel work.

•DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles.

•DO NOT use generator with electrical cords which are worn, frayed, bare or otherwise damaged.

•DO NOT operate generator in the rain.

•DO NOT handle generator or electrical cords while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.

•DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to operate or service generator.

WARNING

Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will pull hand and arm toward engine faster than you can let go.

Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could result.

•When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.

•NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned on.

WARNING

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

WHEN ADDING OR DRAINING FUEL

•Turn generator OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.

•Fill or drain fuel tank outdoors.

•DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.

•Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.

•DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

WHEN STARTING EQUIPMENT

•Ensure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air cleaner are in place.

•DO NOT crank engine with spark plug removed.

•If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.

WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT

•Do not tip engine or equipment at angle which causes fuel to spill.

•This generator is not for use in mobile equipment or marine applications.

WHEN TRANSPORTING OR REPAIRING EQUIPMENT

•Transport/repair with fuel tank EMPTY or with fuel shutoff valve OFF.

•Disconnect spark plug wire.

WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK

•Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition source because they can ignite fuel vapors.

WARNING

•This generator does not meet U. S. Coast Guard Regulation 33CFR-183 and should not be used on marine applications.

•Failure to use the appropriate U. S. Coast Guard approved generator could result in bodily injury and/or property damage.
