warning

Contact with muffler area can result in serious burns.

Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles or structures causing a fire.

•DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.

•Allow equipment to cool before touching.

•DO NOT install the generator closer than 5 feet (1.5m) from any combustibles or structures with combustible walls having a fire resistance rating of less than 1 hour.

•Keep at least minimum distances shown in General Location Guidelines to insure for proper generator cooling and maintenance clearances.

•Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Title 36 Parks, Forests, and Public Property require equipment powered by an internal combustion engine to have a spark arrester, maintained in effective working order, complying to USDA Forest service standard 5100-1C or later revision.

•DO NOT install this fuse until all plumbing and wiring has been completed and inspected.

caution

Excessively high operating speeds increase risk of injury and damage to generator.

Excessively low speeds impose a heavy load.

•DO NOT tamper with governed speed. Generator supplies correct rated frequency and voltage when running at governed speed.

•DO NOT modify generator in any way.

notice

Exceeding generators wattage/amperage capacity can damage generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.

•See Essential Circuits in Operator’s manual.

•Start generator and let engine stabilize before connecting electrical loads.

notice

Improper treatment of generator can damage it and shorten its life.

•Use generator only for intended uses.

•If you have questions about intended use, ask dealer or contact Briggs and Stratton.

•Operate generator only on level surfaces.

•Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilating air is critical to correct generator operation.

•The Oil Fill, Oil Drain and the Control Panel doors must be installed whenever the unit is running.

•DO NOT expose generator to excessive moisture, dust, dirt, or corrosive vapors.

•Despite the safe design of the home generator, operating this equipment imprudently, neglecting its maintenance or being careless can cause possible injury or death.

•Remain alert at all times while working on this equipment. Never work on the equipment when you are physically or mentally fatigued.

•DO NOT start engine with air cleaner or air cleaner cover removed.

•DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots.

•DO NOT use the generator or any of its parts as a step. Stepping on the unit can cause stress and break parts. This may result in dangerous operating conditions from leaking exhaust gases, fuel leakage, oil leakage, etc.

•If connected devices overheat, turn them off and disconnect them from generator.

•Shut off generator if:

-electrical output is lost;

-equipment sparks, smokes, or emits flames; -unit vibrates excessively.
