SAFETY INFORMATION
Our generator/welders are designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according to
instructions. Reed and understand this owner's manual before operating your generator/welder. You
can held prevent accidents by being familiar with your generator/welder's controls, and by observing
safe operating procedures.
Operator Responsibility
gKnow how to stop the generator/welder quickly in case of emergency.
gUnderstand the use of all generator/welder controls, output receptacles, and connections.
gBe sure that anyone who operates the generator/welder receives proper instruction. Do not let
children operate the generator/welder without parental supervision.
Carbon Monoxide Hazards
gExhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas. Breathing exhaust can
cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.
gIf you run the generator/welder 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
g The generator/welder produces enough electric power to cause a serious shock or electrocution if
misused.
g Using a generator/welder 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/welder dry.
gIf the generator/welder 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.
gDo not connect to a building's electrical system unless an isol8tion switch has been installed by a
qualified electrician.
Fire and Burn Hazards
gThe exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials.
ü Keep the generator/welder at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from buildings and other equipment
during operation.
ü Do not enclose the generator/welder in any structure.
