11. Fire and Explosion Hazards:
a. LP Gas is potentially hazardous and highly
EXPLOSIVE.
b. LP Gas under pressure is highly flammable
and can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
c. LP gas is heavier than air and can accumulate
in confined spaces and low places in the event
of a leak.
d. An odorant is added to LP Gas to help
minimize risk in the event of a leak.
e. In the event of an LP Gas fire, flames should
not be extinguished unless doing so allows the
fuel supply valve to be turned OFF.
f. If a fire is extinguished and the fuel supply is
not turned OFF, an explosion hazard could be
created that is greater than the fire hazard.
g. When exchanging LP Gas tanks, make sure
the tank fuel valve is the same type.
h. Store the generator in a well ventilated area
with the LP Gas tank valve closed. Extra LP
Gas tanks should not be stored near the
generator.
i. Always keep a fire extinguisher near the
generator.
12. Your generator should never be operated under
these conditions:
a. Uncontrolled 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, snow or inclement weather. Do not let
the unit get wet when operating.
13. Check the fuel system periodically for leaks or
signs of deterioration such as chafed or spongy
hose, loose or damaged connections, or rusted or
damaged tank. All defects should be corrected
before operation.
14. The generator should be operated, serviced, and
refueled only under the following conditions:
a. Start and run the generator outdoors. Do
not run the generator in an enclosed area,
even if doors or windows are open; avoid
areas where vapors may be trapped, such as
pits, garages, cellars, excavations and boat
bilges. DANGER - CARBON MONOXIDE
HAZARD: The engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide, a poisonous, odorless,
invisible gas which, if breathed, may cause
death or serious personal injury. If you
start to feel sick, dizzy or weak while using
the generator, shut it off and get to fresh air
right away; you may have carbon monoxide
English
poisoning.
b.Good ventilation for cooling. Air flow and
temperatures are important for air cooled
units. Temperatures should not exceed
104º F ambient (40º C).
c. Connect or disconnect the LP Gas tank only in
a well lighted area. Allow engine to cool for
two minutes prior to replacing the LP Gas
tank.
d. Do not install or replace the LP Gas tank 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.
15. Ensure that generator is properly grounded. (See
"Grounding the generator" section in this
manual.)
16. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or anything
that may be caught in the starter or other rotating
parts.
17. Unit must reach operating speed before electrical
loads are connected. Disconnect loads before
turning off engine.
18. To prevent surging that may possibly damage
equipment, do not allow engine to run out of fuel
when electrical loads are applied.
19. When powering solid state equipment, a Power
Line Conditioner should be used to avoid
possible damage to equipment.
20. Do not stick anything through ventilating slots,
even when the generator is not operating. This
can damage the generator or cause personal
injury.
21. Before transporting the generator in a vehicle,
keep LP Gas tank secured in an upright position
with the fuel valve closed and the outlet plugged
with a protective cap. Keep LP Gas tank away
from heat and ventilated.
22. Use proper lifting techniques when transporting
the generator from site
to site. Improper
lifting techniques may
result in personal
injury.
23. To avoid burns, do not touch engine muffler or
other engine or generator surfaces which became
hot during operation.
