DANGER! This generator is designed for outdoor use only. Do Not use this generator inside any building or enclosure including the generator compartment of a recreational vehicle (RV). Fire or an explosion may result. No user performed modifications, including venting of exhaust and/or cooling ventilation, will eliminate the danger. Also, allow at least two feet of clearance on all sides of the generator even while operating the unit outdoors.

CAUTION! Always disconnect spark plug wire and place the wire where it cannot contact the spark plug. To prevent accidental starting when setting up, transporting, adjusting or making repairs to your generator.

•The generator produces dangerously high voltage that can cause extremely hazardous electrical shock. Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals, etc. Never permit any unqualified person to operate or service the generator.

•Never handle any kind of electrical cord or device while standing in water, while barefoot or while

hands or feet are wet. Dangerous electrical shock will result.

•The National Electric Code requires the frame and external electrically conductive parts of generators to be properly connected to an approved earth ground. Local electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the generator. Consult with a local electrician for grounding requirements in your area.

•Use a ground fault circuit interrupter in any damp

or highly conductive area (such as metal decking or steel work).

•Do Not use worn, bare, frayed or otherwise damaged electrical cord sets with the generator. Using a defective cord set may result in electrical shock or damage to equipment and/or property.

•Operate generator only on level surfaces and where it will not be exposed to excessive moisture, dirt, dust or corrosive vapors.

•Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors are EXPLOSIVE. Do Not permit smoking, open flames, sparks or heat in the vicinity while handling gasoline. Avoid spilling gasoline on a hot engine. Comply with all laws regulating storage and handling of gasoline.

•Never add fuel while unit is running.

•Do Not overfill the fuel tank. Always allow room for fuel expansion. If tank is overfilled, fuel can

overflow onto a hot engine and cause FIRE or an

EXPLOSION.

•Never store the generator with fuel in the tank where gasoline vapors might reach an open flame, spark, or pilot light (as on a furnace, water heater

or clothes dryer). FIRE or an EXPLOSION might result.

•Generator exhaust gases contain DEADLY carbon monoxide gas. This dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or even death. Operate this

equipment only in the open air where adequate ventilation is available.

•Allow at least 2 feet of clearance on all sides of the generator, even while operating unit outdoors, or damage may occur. Never operate the unit inside any room or enclosure where the free flow of

cooling air into and out of the unit might be obstructed.

•Never start or stop the unit with electrical loads connected to receptacles and with the connected devices turned ON. Start the engine and let it stabilize before connecting electrical loads. Disconnect all electrical loads before shutting down the generator. See page 9 for "Cold Weather Operation".

•Do Not insert any object through cooling slots of the unit.

•Never operate the generator:

(a)in rain; (b) in any enclosed compartment; (c) when connected electrical devices overheat; (d) if electrical output is lost; (e) if engine or generator sparks; (f) if flames or smoke are observed while unit is running; (g) if unit vibrates excessively.

NOTE: The generator is equipped with a spark arrester muffler that must be maintained in working order by the owner/operator. In the State of California, a spark arrester is required by law (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other states

may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands.
