To ensure safe operation—
■ Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain
conditions. Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped.
■Keep away from cigarette, smoke and sparks when re-fueling the
generator. Always refuel in a well-ventilated location.
■ Wipe up spilled gasoline at once.
■Connections for standby power to a building's electrical system must
be made by a qualified electrician and must comply with all applicable
laws and electrical codes. Improper connections can allow electrical
current from the generator to back feed into the utility lines. Such back
feed may electrocute utility company workers or others who contact
the lines during a power outage, and when utility power is restored, the
generator may explode, burn, or cause fires in the building's electrical
system.
■ Always make a pre-operation inspection before you start the
engine. You may prevent an accident or equipment damage.
■ Place the generator at least 3 ft (1 m) away from buildings or other
equipment during operation.
■ Operate the generator on a level surface.
If the generator is tiled, fuel spillage may result.
■ Know how to stop the generator quickly and understand operation
of all the controls. Never permit anyone to operate the generator
without proper instructions.
■ Keep children and pets away from the generator when it is in
operation.
■ Keep away from rotating parts while the generator is running.
■ The generator is a potential source of electrical shocks when
misused; do not operate with wet hands.
■ Do not operate the generator in rain or snow and do not let it get
wet.
