1. SAFETY
The generators are designed to give safe and dependable service if operated
according to instructions. Read and understand this owner’s manual before operating
your generator. You can help prevent accidents by being familiar with your generator’s
controls, and by observing safe operating procedures.
Operator Responsibility
· Know how to stop the generator quickly in case of emergency.
· Understand the use of all generator controls, output receptacles, and connections.
· Be sure that anyone who operates the generator receives proper instruction. Do not
let children operate the generator without parental supervision. Keep children and
pets away from the area of operation.
· Place the generator on a firm, level surface and avoid loose sand or snow. If the
generator is tilted or overturned, fuel spillage may result. Also, if the generator is
overturned or sinks into a soft surface, sand, dirt, or water may enter the generator.
Carbon Monoxide Hazards
· Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas.
Breathing exhaust can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.
· If you run the generator in an area that is confined, or even partially enclosed, the air
you breathe could contain a dangerous amount of exhaust gas. To keep exhaust
gas from building up, provide adequate ventilation.
Electric Shock Hazards
· The generator produces enough electric power to cause a serious shock or
electrocution if misused.
· Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet conditions, such as rain or snow, or
near a pool or sprinkler system, or when your hands are wet, could result in
electrocution. Keep the generator dry.
· If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the weather, check all electrical
components on the control panel, before each use. Moisture or ice can cause a
malfunction or short circuit in electrical components which could result in
electrocution.
· Do not connect to a building’s electrical system unless an isolation switch has been
installed by a qualified electrician.
