SAFETY ALERTS AND ICONS
This generator is designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according to instructions. Read and
understand this Owner’s Manual and all safety alerts and labels before operating the generator.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Poisoning Alerts
CO
Explosion & Fire Alerts
▲ GENERATORS PRODUCE CARBON MONOXIDE FROM
EXHAUST GAS. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, colorless,
odorless gas. When inhaled, CO can build up to dangerous
levels in the bloodstream and cause unconsciousness, leading to
serious injury or death within minutes.
▲ NEVER RUN THE GENERATOR IN AN ENCLOSED OR PARTLY
ENCLOSED AREA, which leads to overheating, fire, or carbon
monoxide (CO) poisoning leading to serious injury or death
within minutes. Always ensure adequate ventilation.
▲ Do not install this generator inside a compartment.
▲ Generators should be used outdoors only, at least 3ft. (1m)
away from buildings, open windows, and other equipment, and
protected from rain and snow.
▲ Do not modify the enclosure of this generator or use the
generator for purposes other than its intended use.
▲ Do not connect an extension to the exhaust pipe.
▲ Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under
certain conditions. High temperatures inside could cause
residual fuel to vaporize resulting in possible explosion.
▲ Keep cigarettes, sparks, and any source of ignition away
from generator and the fuel tank at all times.
▲ Operate the generator on a level surface. If the generator is
tilted, fuel spillage may result.
▲ Check for spilled fuel or leaks. Clean and/or repair before
use. If any fuel is spilled, allow all fuel to evaporate before
starting the engine.
▲ Always stop engine before refueling. Wait 5 minutes before
restarting and allow all fuel to evaporate.
▲ Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or
fuel vapor may ignite.
