the generator. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the generator accidentally.

19.Store idle generators out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Generators are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

20.Maintain generators with care. Do not use a damaged generator. Tag damaged generators “Do not use” until repaired.

21.Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the generator’s operation. If damaged, have the generator serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained generators.

22.Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another generator.

23.CAUTION: This generator is not intended to power sensitive electronic equip- ment* without the addition of an appropriate power line conditioner and surge protector (both not included). Sensitive electronic equipment should be operated on approved inverter type generators or pure sine wave generators.

When the plugged in product operates abnormally or unusually slow, immediately stop using the generator as a power source. Always read and adhere to the instruction manual of the product to be powered, to make sure that it can be safely and efficiently powered by a portable generator.

Note: When using a generator to provide home standby electricity, a transfer switch (sold separately) is needed to prevent back feeding power into the utility line.

Connections for standby power to a building electrical system must be made by a qualified electrician. The connection must isolate the generator power from utility power, and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.

WARNING: Improper connections to a building electrical system can allow electrical current from the generator to backfeed into the utility lines. Such backfeed may electrocute utility company workers or others who contact the lines during a power outage, and the generator may explode, burn, or cause fires when utility power is restored. Consult the utility company or a qualified electrician.

*Sensitive electronic equipment includes, but is not limited to, audio/video equipment, some television sets, computers, and printers.
