~ - resulting in death or serious injury.
• Damaged or overloaded extension cords cou Id overheat, arc, and burn resulting death or
serious injury.
• Use a ground fau It circuit interrupter (GFCI) in any damp or highly conductive area, such as
metal decking.
• Do not touch bare wires or receptacles.
• Do not use generator with electrica I cords which are worn , frayed, bare or otherwise damaged.
• Do not operate generator in the rain or wet weather.
• Do not run indoors to avoid wet conditions.
• Do not handle generator or electrical cords while standing in water, while barefoot, or while
hands or feet are wet.
I.Ensure circuit breaker on control panel is in the closed (on) position.
2. Start the generator with no electrical load attached.
3. Allow the engine to run for several minutes to stabilize.
4. Plug in and turn on the first item. It is best to attach the item with the largest load first.
5. Allow the engine to stabilize.
6. Plug in and turn on the next item.
7. Allow the engine to stabilize.
8. Repeat steps 5-6 for each additional item.
Surge Protection
There is a remote chance that voltage fluctuations may impair the proper functioning of some
sensitive electronic equipment. Electronic devices, including computers and many programmable
appliances may use components that are designed to operate within a narrow voltage range and
may be affected by the portable generator's momentary voltage fluctuations. While there is no
way to prevent all voltage fluctuations, you can take steps to protect your sensitive electronic
equipment. Install a plug-in surge suppressor on the receptacles feeding your sensitive equipment.
Surge suppressors come in single or multi-outlet styles. They are designed to protect against short
duration voltage fluctuations.
