Safety Warnings and Precautions
IMPORTANT SAFEY INSTRUCTIONS. SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow recommended precautions and pro-
cedures could result in severe injury or death. Al-
ways read all safety precautions and follow all
operation, inspection, and maintenance procedures
outlined in this manual.
General
• Read and understand all of the safety and
operating information in this manual and on the
product before using the machine. Use the
generator only as described in this manual.
• Understand and follow all inspection and
maintenance procedures outlined in this manual.
Following these procedures will ensure that the
generator remains in safe operating condition.
• Turn the Engine switch to the OFF position. Turn
off the gasoline valve and close the fuel cap vent
when the generator is not in use for a long time.
It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all
users of this generator are fully informed of the safe-
ty and operating information prior to use.
Before and During Operation
• Perform all Pre-Operation Inspection activities as
shown on page 15 of this manual. Inspect and
tighten all parts before each use. Ensure the
generator does not have any damaged, loose, or
missing parts before use. All defects should be
corrected before use. Do not operate the
generator if it has been dropped or damaged until
all defective parts have been repaired.
• Do not place any flammable materials near the
generator.
• Never start the generator or let it run in an
enclosed area. Exhaust vapors are poisonous and
can cause loss of consciousness or death in a
short time. Keep the generator away from
buildings and other equipment during operation.
• Do not operate the generator in exposed locations
where it will be subjected to wet conditions.
• Do not touch the generator with wet hands, as this
may cause severe electric shocks.
• Do not pour water directly over the generator or
wash it.
• Do not use or store the generator in the rain or
snow.
• Do not cover the generator when in use.
• Always operate the generator on a firm, flat, and
level surface, as the generator will vibrate on an
irregular surface. If the generator is tilted, fuel may
spill or the generator may tip over, causing a
hazardous situation. Lock the wheels before using.
• Do not connect the generator to another power
supply source.
• The engine becomes extremely hot during and
immediately after it has been in use. Be careful not
to touch any parts of the hot engine, especially the
muffler or muffler cover, or serious burns may
result.
• Do not connect external equipment to the
generator before starting the engine.
• Do not use for life support, or life sustaining
systems.
