16.Connect the Generator only to a load or electrical system (120 volt or 240 volt) that is compatible with the electrical characteristics and rated capacities of the Generator.

17.Insulate all connections and disconnected wires.

18.Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators.

19.Only use a suitable means of transport and lifting devices with sufficient weight bearing capacity when transporting the generator.

20.Secure the Generator on transport vehicles to prevent the tool from rolling, slipping, and tilting.

21.Industrial applications must follow OSHA requirements.

22.Do not leave the Generator unattended when it is running. Turn off the Generator (and remove safety keys, if available) before leaving the work area.

23.The Generator engine can produce high noise levels. Prolonged exposure to noise levels above 85 dBA is hazardous to hearing. Always wear ear protection when operating or working around the gas engine while it is operating.

24.Wear ANSI-approved safety glasses, hearing protection, and NIOSH-approved dust mask/respirator during use.

25.People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. Caution is necessary when near

the engine’s magneto or recoil starter.

26.Use only accessories that are recommended by Harbor Freight Tools for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one piece of equipment may become hazardous when used on another piece of equipment.

27.Do not operate in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Gasoline-powered engines may ignite the dust or fumes.

28.Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live electrical parts and connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These events could ignite fumes or vapors.

29.Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating this piece of equipment. Do not use this piece of equipment while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

30.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

31.Parts, especially exhaust system components, get very hot during use. Stay clear of hot parts.

32.Do not cover the generator or its engine during operation.

33.Keep the generator, its engine, and surrounding area clean at all times.

34.Use the generator, accessories, etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of equipment, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the equipment for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

35.Do not operate the generator with known leaks in the engine’s fuel system.

36.This product contains or, when used, produces a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

37.When spills of fuel or oil occur, they must be cleaned up immediately. Dispose of fluids and cleaning materials as per any local, state, or federal codes and regulations. Store oil rags in a bottom-ventilated, covered, metal container.

38.Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. Do not reach over or across generator while operating.

39.Before use, 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 equipment.

40.Use the correct generator for the application. Do not modify the generator or its engine, and do not use the generator for a purpose for which it is not intended.
