T. Clean, high octane lead free fuel is always
recommended to develop peak horsepower in small
engines. Never use old, stale fuel, or leaded fuel.
U. All GILLETTE gen-sets comply to existing EPA
regulations for minimum toxic exhaust fumes and fire
regulations.
V. Consult with licensed electrician on proper
grounding procedures as outlined in National Electric
Code (NEC) article 250-5.
W. All generators have been factory load tested. All
engines are “green” and have not had the (50) hour
break in time to develop peak horsepower. Engine
horsepower ratings meet SAE-J1349 test codes
which specify reduced ratings of 3 1/2% for each
1000 feet over 328 feet above sea level and 1%
reduced rating for every 10°F (5.56°C) rise above 77°
F (25°C).

WARNING
A QUICK REVIEW OF SAFE OPERATING RULES AND CONDITIONS
When draining or adding fuel to generator:
1) Turn gen-set OFF. Allow the engine and fuel tank to cool down for minimum of 5 minutes. Remove
fuel tank refill cap slowly, to relieve any pressure that may be inside tank
2) Always drain or fill fuel tank outdoors, away from any combustible elements.
3) Do not start engine, if a fuel spill occurs. Clean up spills with rags and dispose in fire proof container.
Do not start engine until all remaining fuels have completely evaporated.
4) Keep generator fuel tank and refill fuel tank, away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, excess heat,
and other possible ignitions sources. Do not light a cigar, cigarette, or smoke within 50 feet of gen-set
or stored refill fuel tanks.
Keep gen-set as level as possible to prevent fuel leakage.
Use a GFCI (ground fault interrupter) in an damp or highly conductive area, such as all metal surfaces.
NOTE: GILLETTE furnishes GFCI protection on all gen-set receptacles.
Do not operate gen-set during rain or snow , or any wet environment.
Do not use electrical cords or electrical devices that are frayed, worn, bare, or damaged electrical ap-
paratus, due to possible shock.
Do not handle plugged-in tools or cords, while barefoot or hands and feet are wet.
Do not operate gen-set inside buildings, on top of building roofs, or any areas within 50 feet of any
structures. Use appropriate gauge drop cords at site of use, to keep gen-set a safe distance away.
This gen-set is shipped from factory without any proper engine oil before starting engine, check the
engine dip stick for oil level. Check separate engine manual for additional oil tips and engine mainte-
nance and operation.
