10.If the plugged in product operates abnor-
mally or unusually slow, immediately stop
using the generator as a power source.
Always read and adhere to the instruction
manual of the product to be powered, to
make sure that it can be safely and efficien-
tly powered by a portable generator.
11.Before connecting an appliance or power
cord to the generator: Make sure that it is
in good working order. Faulty appliances
or power cords can create a potential for
electrical shock.
12.Do not exceed the maximum power rating
of the generator. Make sure that the total
electrical rating of the all of the tools or
appliances plugged into the generator at
the same time does not exceed that of the
generator. Check that the startup surge will
not be beyond the limit of the Generator.
Power levels between rated and maximum
may be used for no more than 30 minutes.
13.Avoid substantially overloading which will
trip the circuit breaker. Exceeding the time
limit for maximum power operation or slightly
overloading the generator may not switch the
circuit breaker or circuit protector OFF, but
will shorten the servic
e life of the generator.
SAFETY

Operating Precautions
1.
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
Using a generator indoors CAN KILL
YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains carbon
monoxide. This is a poison you cannot
see or smell.
NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors
and windows are open.
Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows,
doors, and vents.
2. Never use a generator indoors, including in
garages, basements, crawlspaces and sheds.
Opening doors and windows or using fans will NOT
prevent carbon monoxide build up in the home.
3. When using generators, keep them outdoors
and far away from open doors, windows, and
vents to avoid toxic levels of carbon monoxide
from building up indoors.
4. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while
using a generator, get to fresh air right away.
The carbon monoxide from generators can
quickly lead to full incapacitation and death.
5. Keep children away from the equipment,
especially while it is operating.
6. Keep all spectators at least six feet from
the Engine during operation.
7. Fire Hazard! Do not fill gas tank while engine
is running. Do not operate if gasoline has
been spilled. Clean spilled gasoline before
starting engine. Do not operate near pilot
light or open flame.
9. Never store fuel or other flammable materials
near the engine.
8. Do not touch engine during use. Let engine
cool down after use.
14. Do not attempt to connect or disconnect
load connections while standing in
water, or on wet or soggy ground.
15. Do not touch electrically energized parts of
the Gen
erator and interconnecting cables or
conductors with any part of the body, or with
any non-insulated conductive object.
16. Insulate all connections and disconnected
wires.
17. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body
contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators.
