Test your carbon monoxide alarm frequently and replace dead batteries.
Safety warning when refueling Gasoline is extremely flammable and its vapors can explode if ignited.
Observe all safety regulations for the safe handling of fuel. Handle fuel in safety containers. If the container does not have a spout, use a funnel.
Do not overfill the fuel tank, leave room for the fuel to expand.
Do not refill fuel tank while the engine is running. Before refueling the generator, turn it off and let it cool down. Gasoline spilled on hot engine parts could ignite. Fill the tank only on an area of bare ground. While fueling the tank, keep heat, sparks and open flame away. Carefully clean up any spilled fuel before starting engine.
Always fill fuel tank in an area with plenty of ventilation to avoid inhaling dangerous fumes.
NEVER store fuel for your generator in the home. Gasoline, propane, kerosene, and other flammable liquids should be stored outside of living areas in
a
sealed properly, invisible vapors from the fuel can travel along the ground and can be ignited by the appliance’s pilot light or by arcs from electric switches in the appliance.
Ground fault circuit interrupter protection. These generators are equipped with two GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters) 120V duplex receptacles for protection against the hazards of electrical shock from defective attachments such as, tools, cords, and cables.
A GFCI is a device that interrupts electricity from either the utility or generator by means of a special type of circuit breaker if a fault current flow to the ground occurs.
A GFCI can be used only with generators that have the neutral wire internally bonded to the frame, and the frame properly grounded to the earth. A GFCI will not work on generators that do not have the neutral wire bonded to the frame, or on generators which have not been properly grounded. All Dayton generators have internally bonded ground wires. A GFCI will not work if the unit is not properly grounded.
A GFCI may be required by OSHA regulations, the National Electric Code and/or local and federal codes when operating a generator.
For additional protections against shock hazards due to defective equipment attached to the
GFCIs and GFCI protected cord sets and cables may be purchased from local electrical supply houses.
The GFCIs may not function unless
the generator is properly grounded. Follow the correct procedure specified in the section labeled “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS”
Only the 120V Duplex Receptacles
are protected by the GFCI.
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS. This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you
are IN doubt as to whether the unit is properly grounded.
This generator is equipped with a grounding terminal for your protection. Always complete the ground path from the generator to an external ground source as instructed in the section labeled “Grounding Instructions” in the Preparation section of this manual.
The generator is a potential source of electrical shock if not kept dry. Keep the generator dry and do not use in rain or wet conditions. To protect from moisture, operate it on a dry surface under an open,
Dry your hands if wet before touching the generator.
Risk of electric shock if you operate this generator with a faulty GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter). Test GFCI before each use, see Operations Instructions for further information. If GFCI fails test, DO NOT use your generator. Contact your Dayton Customer Service Representative.
