INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS
WARNING
– When using tools, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
Setup Precautions
1. Gasoline fuel and fumes are flammable, and
potentially explosive. Use proper fuel storage
and handling procedures. Do not store fuel
or other flammable materials nearby.
2. Have multiple ABC class fire extinguishers
nearby.
3. Operation of this equipment may create sparks
that can start fires around dry vegetation. A
spark arrestor may be required. The operator
should contact local fire agencies for laws or
regulations relating to fire prevention require-
ments.
4. Set up and use only on a flat, level, well
-ventilated surface.
5. All connections and conduits from the Generator
to the load must only be installed by trained and
licensed elect
ricians, and in compliance with all
relevant local, state, and federal electrical codes
and standards, and other regulations where
applicable.
6. Connections for standby power to a building
electrical system must be made by a qualified
electrician. The connection must isolate the
generator power from utility power, and must
comply with all applicable laws and electrical
codes.
7. Wear safety goggles, heavy-duty work gloves,
and dust mask/respirator during set up.
8. Use only lubricants and fuel recommended in this
manual.
9. Improper connections to a building electr
ical
system can allow electrical current from the
generator to backfeed into the utility lines. Such
backfeed may electrocute utility company workers
or others who contact the lines during a power
outage, and the generator may explode, burn, or
cause fires when utility power is restored. Consult
the utility company and a qualified electrician if
intending to use the generator for back up power.
10. Do not operate the Generator before grounding.
The Generator must be earth-grounded in
accordance with all relevant electrical codes
and standards before operation.
