GENERATOR SAFETY
Electric Shock Hazards
The generator produces enough electric power to cause a serious shock or electrocution if misused.
Do not touch uninsulated portion of output coupler. Risk of electrical shock.
Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet conditions, such as rain or snow, or near a pool or sprinkler system, or when your hands are wet, could result in electrocution. Keep the generator dry.
If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the weather, check all of the electrical components on the control panel, before each use. Moisture or ice can cause a malfunction or short circuit in electrical components which could result in electrocution.
Fire and Burn Hazards
The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials.
－Keep the generator at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from buildings and other equipment during operation.
－Do not enclose the generator in any structure.
－Keep flammable materials away from the generator.
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot. Let the engine cool before storing the generator indoors.
