3. PRE-OPERATION CHECK
These quick checks should be done each time the generator is started to ensure you
get the most out of your generator.
Set the generator on a level surface and the power switch to OFF.
WARNING!
Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide. Never run the
generator in an enclosed area. Be sure to provide adequate ventilation.
Operate the generator on a level surface. If the generator is tilted, fuel
spillage may result. Keep away from rotating parts while the generator is
running. The generator is air-cooled and may be damaged if ventilation is
inadequate.
