SAFETY RULES
CAUTION: ALWAYS DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE AND PLACE WIRE WHERE IT CANNOT CON-
TACT SPARK PLUG, TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING WHEN SET'rING UP, TRANSPORTING,
ADJUSTING OR MAKING REPAIRS TO YOUR GENERATOR.
IMPORTANT
THIS GENERATOR IS DESIGNED FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY. USING THIS GENERATOR INSIDE ANY BUILDING OR
ENCLOSURE INCLUDING THE GENERATOR COMPARTMENT OF A RECREATIONAL VEHICLE (RV), IS DANGEROUS.
FIRE OR AN EXPLOSION MAY RESULT. NO USER PERFORMED MOD F CAT ONS, NCLUD NG VENTING OF EXHAUST
AND/OR COOLING VENTILATION, WILL ELIMINATE THE DANGER.
•
If this unit is used for backup power in the event of
a utility power failura, take the followingsteps:
BE-
FORECONNECTING
THE GENERATOR
TO AN
ELECTRICAL
SYSTEM
OPEN
THE MAIN CIR-
CUIT BREAKER
OR MAIN SWITCH
SERVING
THE SYSTEM
TO ISOLATE THE GENERATOR
SYSTEM FROM THE ELECTRIC
UTILITY.
FAIL-
URE TO ISOLATE THE GENERATOR
AND UTIL-
ITY SYSTEMS
MAY RESULT
IN DAMAGE
TO
THE GENERATOR
AND MAY ALSO RESULT IN
INJURY
OR DEATH
TO ELECTRIC
UTILITY
WORKERS
DUE TO BACKFEED
OF ELECTRI-
CAL ENERGY.
•
This generator supplies dangerously high electrical
voltages. Use care to prevent extremely hazardous
and possibly lethal electrical shock. Never permit
any unqualified person(s) to operate or service the
unit.
•
DO NOT operate this equipment in the rain, while
standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or
feet are wet. Dangerous electrical shock will result.
•
The spark arrestor muffler can become extremely
hot. DO NOT operate this equipment in areas where
combustible material such as grass, leaves or paper
products can come in contact with the muffler.
•
Maintain all wiring, extension cords, etc., in good
condition.
Worn, bare, frayed, or otherwise dam-
aged wiring and cord sets may cause dangerous
electrical shock and may also result in damage to
equipment and/or property.
•
The National Electrical Code requires that the gen-
erator be properly connected
to an approved earth
ground.
Local electrical codes may also require
proper grounding of the unit. See ASSEMBLY sec-
tion for mere grounding information.
•
Wire gauge sizes of wiring and cord sets must be
large enough to handle the maximum electrical load
to which they will be subjected.
Most devices re-
quire cord sets rated 125 AC volts at 20 to 30
amperes or 250 AC volts at 20 amps (or greater).
Some devices may require a higher or lower rating.
Refer to the Owner's manual of the electrical device
for the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Cord
sets that are too small in diameter or too long will
overheat, become damaged and may cause prop-
erty damage and/or electrical shock.
•
The generator engine consumes oxygen and gives
off DEADLY carbon monoxide
gas through its ex-
haust system.
This dangerous gas if breathed in
surf c ent concentrations, can cause unconscious-
ness or even death. Operate this equipment out-
doors only, in well ventilated areas where exhaust
gases cannot accumulate and endanger people or
animals.
•
Gasoline is extremely FLAMMABLE and its vapors
are EXPLOSIVE.
Comply with all laws regulating
the storage and handling of gasoline.
DO NOT
permit smoking, open flames, sparks or heat in the
vicinity while handling gasoline.
Avoid spilling
gasoline on a hot engine.
DO NOT fill fuel tank:
while engine is running or hot. Clean off any spilled
gasoline before starting engine.
•
DO NOT fill fuel tank completely
full. Allow room at
top of tank for fuel expansion or fuel may expand
and overflow onto a hot engine.
•
Drain all gasoline from tank before transporting your
generator inside your car or other vehicle.
•
DO NOT store the generator with fuel in tank where
gasoline vapors might reach an open flame, spark,
or pilot light, as on a fumace, water.heater,
dryer,
etc. FIRE or an EXPLOSION
might result.
•
DO NOT insert any object or tool through cooling air
slots or openings of the engine or generator, even
if the eng=ne is not running. Damage to the unit or
personal injury may result.
•
DO NOT attempt to change the engine govemed
speed..
Factory settings are correct when you ra-
calve the unit. Excessively high engine speeds may
result in injury or damage to equipment.
•
DO NOT use the unit if it has been damaged. Repair
or replace all damaged
or defective components
before you run the unit.
•
DO NOT permit children to operate or service the
generator.
•
Read your Owner's Manual carefully.
Only persons
who are familiar with these safety rules and have
been properly instructed in the use of this product
should be permitted to use the product.
