IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
• Running engines produce heat. Severe burns can occur on
contact. Combustible material can catch fire on contact.
• DO NOT touch hot surfaces.
• Avoid contact with hot exhaust gases.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• Maintain at least 3’ (90 cm) of clearance on all sides to
ensure adequate cooling.
• Maintain at least 5’ (1.5 m) of clearance from
combustible materials.
WARNING!
• Rapid retraction of the recoil cord will pull hand and arm
towards the engine faster than you can let go. Unintentional
startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation
or laceration. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains
could result.
• When starting engine, pull the recoil cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
• DO NOT start or stop the engine with electrical devices
plugged in and turned on.
CAUTION!
• Exceeding the generator’s running capacity can damage the generator and/or electrical
devices connected to it.
• DO NOT overload the generator.
• DO NOT tamper with the governed speed.
• DO NOT modify the generator in any way.
CAUTION!
• Start the generator and allow the engine to stabilize before connecting electrical loads.
• Connect electrical equipment in the off position, and then turn it on for operation.
• Turn electrical equipment off and disconnect before stopping the generator.
