General Precautions (cont'd)
Personal Safety (cont'd)
• Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the power switch is in its "OFF" position and disconnect
the spark plug wire when not in use.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning on the generator. A wrench or a key that is
left attached to a rotating part of the generator may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and maintain balance at all times.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Wear ANSI approved safety impact eye
goggles. Dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
• Do not overload the generator. Use the appropriate generator for your application. The
correct generator working at the rate for which it is designed, will do the job better and safer.
• Do not use the generator if the power switch does not turn the generator on or off. Any
generator that cannot be controlled by the power switch is dangerous and must be fixed or
replaced.
Generator Use and Care
• Make sure the power switch is in its "OFF" position and disconnect the spark plug wire before
making any adjustments, changing any accessories, or storing the generator. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the generator accidentally.
• Store idle generators out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Generators are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain generators with care. Do not use a damaged generator. Tag damaged generators
"DO NOT USE" until repaired.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, broken parts, and any other condition that
may affect the generator's operation. If damaged, have the generator serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained generators.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories
that may be suitable for one generator may become hazardous when used on another.
