ALWAYS ensure generator is on level ground before use.

DO NOT place hands or fingers inside generators engine compartment when engine is running.

NEVER run engine without air cleaner. Severe engine damage may occur.

NEVER change or adjust the engine speed which has been set at the factory prior to shipping.

Maintenance Safety

NEVER lubricate components or attempt service on a running machine.

High Temperatures – Always stop engine and allow the engine to cool before adding fuel, oil or performing service and maintenance functions. Contact with hot! components can cause serious burns.

Keep the machinery in proper running condition.

Fix damage to the machine immediately and replace any broken parts immediately.

ALWAYS replace any worn or damaged warning decals.

ALWAYS store equipment properly when it is not being used. Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry location out of the reach of children and un-authorized personnel.

Power Cord Safety

NEVER let power cables or cords lay in water.

NEVER stand in water while AC power from the generators is being transfer to a load.

NEVER use a defective or frayed power cable. Check the cable for cuts in the insulation.

NEVER use a extension cord that is frayed or damaged where the insulation has been cut.

ALWAYS make certain that proper power or extension cord has been selected for the job See Table 6.

The electrical voltage required to operate the generator can cause severe injury or even death through physical contact with live circuits. Turn all circuit breakers OFF before performing maintenance on the generator.

Dispose of hazardous waste properly. Examples of potentially hazardous waste are used motor oil, fuel and fuel filters.

DO NOT use food or plastic containers to dispose of hazardous waste.

DO NOT pour waste, oil or fuel directly onto the ground, down a drain or into any water source.

Grounding Safety

ALWAYS make sure that electrical circuits are properly grounded per the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes before operating generator. Severe injury or death! by electrocution can result from operating an ungrounded generator.

ALWAYS make sure the generators are properly grounded to a suitable earth ground (GROUND ROD). See installation in this manual.

NEVER use gas piping as an electrical ground.

ALWAYS allow the machine a proper amount of time to cool before servicing.

ALWAYS service air cleaner frequently to prevent engine

malfunction.

ALWAYS disconnect the NEGATIVE battery terminal before performing service on the generator.

Follow all battery safety guidelines listed in this manual when handleing or servicing the generator.
