WARNING
Generator produces hazardous voltage.
Failure to properly ground generator can result
in electrocution.
Failure to isolate generator from power utility
can result in death or injury to electric utility
workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.
• When using generator for backup power, notify
utility company.
• DO NOT touch bare wires or bare receptacles.
• DO NOT use generator with electrical cords which are
worn, frayed, bare or otherwise damaged.
• DO NOT handle generator or electrical cords while
standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet
are wet.
• If you must work around a unit while it is operating,
stand on an insulated dry surface to reduce
shock hazard.
• DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to operate
or service generator.
• In case of an accident caused by electrical shock,
immediately shut down the source of electrical power
and contact the local authorities. Avoid direct contact
with the victim.
• Despite the safe design of the residential generator,
operating this equipment imprudently, neglecting its
maintenance or being careless can cause possible injury
or death.
• Remain alert at all times while working on this
equipment. Never work on the equipment when you are
physically or mentally fatigued.
• Before performing any maintenance on the generator,
disconnect the battery cable indicated by a NEGATIVE,
NEG or (-) first. When finished, reconnect that
cable last.
• After your generator system is installed, the generator
may crank and start without warning any time there is a
power failure. To prevent possible injury, always set the
generator's system switch to OFF, remove the service
disconnect from the disconnect box AND remove the
15 Amp fuse BEFORE working on the equipment.
WARNING
Propane and Natural Gas are extremely
flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns
or death.
• Install the fuel supply system according to applicable
fuel-gas codes.
• Before placing the generator into service, the fuel system
lines must be properly purged and leak tested.
• After the generator is installed, you should inspect the
fuel system periodically.
• NO leakage is permitted.
• DO NOT operate engine if smell of fuel is present or other
explosive conditions exist.
• DO NOT smoke around the generator. Wipe up any oil
spills immediately. Ensure that no combustible materials
are left in the generator compartment. Keep the area near
the generator clean and free of debris.
WARNING
Contact with muffler area can result in
serious burns.
Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles or
structures causing a fire.
• DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• DO NOT install the generator closer than 5 feet (1.5m)
from any combustibles or structures with combustible
walls having a fire resistance rating of less than 1 hour.
• Keep at least minimum distances shown in General
Location Guidelines to insure for proper generator
cooling and maintenance clearances.
• Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Title 36 Parks, Forests,
and Public Property require equipment powered by an
internal combustion engine to have a spark arrester,
maintained in effective working order, complying to
USDA Forest service standard 5100-1C or later revision.
In the State of California a spark arrester is required
under section 444 of the California Public resources
code. Other states may have similar laws.
