When using this product basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1.Read this manual carefully - know your equipment. Consider the applications, limitations, and the potential hazards specific to your unit.
2.Equipment must be placed on a firm, supporting surface.
3.Load must be kept within rating stated on generator nameplate. Overloading will damage the unit or shorten its life.
4.Engine must not be run at excessive speeds. Operating an engine at excessive speeds increases the hazard of personal injury. Do not tamper with parts which may increase or decrease the governed speed.
5.To prevent accidental starting, always remove the spark plug or cable from the spark plug before adjusting the generator or engine.
6.Units with broken or missing parts, or without protective housing or covers, should never be operated. Contact your service center for replacement parts.
7.Units should not be operated or stored in wet or damp conditions or on highly conductive locations such as metal decking and steel work. Always use rubber gloves and boots, and a ground fault current interrupter if these conditions may be present during use.
8.Keep the generator clean and free of oil, mud and other foreign matter.
9.Extension cords, power cords, and all electrical equipment must be in good condition. Never operate electrical equipment with damaged or defective cords.
10.Store the generator in a well ventilated area with the fuel tank empty. Fuel should not be stored near the generator.
11.Your generator should never be operated under these conditions:
a.Change in engine speed.
b.Electrical output loss.
c.Overheating in connected equipment.
d.Sparking.
e.Damaged receptacles.
f.Engine misfire.
g.Excessive vibration.
h.Flame or smoke.
i.Enclosed compartment.
j.Rain or inclement weather.
12.Check the fuel system periodically for leaks or signs of deterioration such as chafed or spongy hose, loose or missing clamps, or damaged tank or cap. All defects should be corrected before operation.
13.The generator should be operated, serviced, and refueled only under the following conditions:
a.Good ventilation - avoid areas where vapors may be trapped such as pits, basements, cellars, excavations, and boat bilges. Air flow and temperatures are important for air cooled units. Temperatures should not exceed 100 degrees F (40 degrees C).
b.Dangerous exhaust gases should be piped from enclosed areas. The engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous, odorless, invisible gas which, if breathed, causes serious illness and possible death.
c.Refuel the generator in a well lighted
area. Avoid fuel spills and never refuel while the generator is running. Allow engine to cool for two minutes prior to refueling.
d.Do not refuel near open flames, pilot lights, or sparking electrical equipment such as power tools, welders, and grinders.
e.The muffler and air cleaner must be installed and in good condition at all times as they function as flame arresters if backfiring occurs.
f.Do not smoke near the generator.
