General Precautions (continued)
Gasoline and Oil (continued)
• Fuel or oil spills must be cleaned up immediately. Dispose of fluids and cleaning materials as per any
local, state, or federal codes and regulations. Store oily rags in a covered metal container.
• Do not smoke or allow sparks, flames, or other sources of ignition around the engine or fuel tank. Fuel
vapors are explosive.
• Keep grounded conductive objects (such as tools) away from exposed or live electrical parts and
connec tions to avoid sparking or arcing. These objects could ignite fumes or vapors.
• Do not refill the fuel tank while the engine is running or while the engine is still hot. Do not operate a
generator with known leaks in the fuel system.
• Use only the engine manufacturer’s recommended fuel and oil.
• Excessive buildup of unburned fuel gases in the exhaust system can create a potentially explosive
condition. This buildup can occur after repeated failed start attempts, valve testing, or hot engine
shutdown. If this occurs, open exhaust system drain plugs and allow the gases to dissipate before
attempting to restart the generator.
Hot Components
WARNING! ENGINE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM PARTS BECOME VERY HOT AND REMAIN
HOT FOR SOME TIME AFTER ENGINE SHUT OFF. WEAR INSULATED GLOVES OR
WAIT UNTIL THE ENGINE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM HAVE COOLED BEFORE HANDLING
THESE PARTS.
Power Output
This generator is not designed to power sensitive electronic equipment (including computers and medical
devices) without the addition of an approved line conditioner, which is sold separately.
CAUTION! ATTEMPTING TO POWER SENSITIVE ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT WITHOUT
THE USE OF AN APPROVED LINE CONDITIONER MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
EQUIPMENT. SYCAMORE SCS, LLC IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DIRECT OR
INDIRECT DAMAGE CAUSED BY FAILURE TO USE AN APPROVED LINE CONDITIONER.
Work Area
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive environments such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust. Generators create sparks which may ignite dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a generator. Provide barriers or shields
as needed.
