• Never place the generator immediately adjacent to a building or other
structure – allow at least 2 meters clearance.
• Do not run the generator in close proximity to other heat-generating
equipment, such as another generator. The combined heat that is generated
may raise air temperature in the immediate area and there will not be
adequate cooling ventilation.
• Do not allow debris to accumulate and block airflow.
• Do not operate with a tarp, blanket, or cover surrounding the generator.
(
Choose a location where the generator will NOT be exposed to rain, snow,
or direct sunlight.
Exposure to water can cause electric shock. You may operate the generator under an
outdoor, canopy-like structure of heat-resistant material that is open on all sides. Make
sure that all parts of canopy are at least 2 meters from exhaust, and allow for adequate
clearance above generator so that heat does not build up.
The exhaust gas from your generator is extremely hot and can cause
combustible materials to catch on fire.
• Make sure your generator's exhaust system is at least 2 meters from all
combustible materials and buildings/structures.
• Equip the engine with a spark arrestor if the generator will be used near any
ignitable forest, brush, or grassy land. (See the “Specifications” section of
this manual to determine if your generator is already equipped.) Make sure
you comply with applicable local, state, and federal codes.
• Keep a fire extinguisher rated "A:B(E)" nearby. Keep it properly charged and
be familiar with its use.
Do not use the generator in extremely dusty or dirty conditions.
Excessive dust and dirt can cause premature failure of the machine.
Generators can produce noise levels of up to 95 dB in close proximity,
which can be dangerous to human hearing with prolonged exposure.
Hearing protection may be required for persons working with 4.6-6 meter of
the running generator for an extended period of time.
WARNING:
Never attempt to attach ductwork to the muffler system to lower noise
levels. This could cause hot air deflection, heat build-up, and increased
exhaust back-pressure, resulting in possible exhaust leakage or damage
to the generator.
