2. Fuel System - Fuel Vapors are highly explosive and can cause severe injury or death. Use
extreme care when handling and storing fuels. Store fuels in a well-ventilated area away from
spark-producing equipment, gas hot water heaters and out of the reach of children. Never add fuel
while the engine is running or hot, fuel spills may ignite on contact with hot parts and muffler. Do
not operate under the influence of drugs and alcohol or smoke. when operating around sparks or
open flames. Keep fuel lines and connections tight and in good working condition.
3. Servicing the exhaust system. Hot parts can cause severe injury. Do not touch hot engine
parts. The engine and exhaust system components become extremely hot during operation.
4. Servicing the engine. Hot parts can cause personal injury or property damage. Keep the
generator at least 2m (6ft) distance from other devices.
5. Grounding electrical equipment. Hazardous voltage can cause severe injury or
death. Electrocution is possible whenever electricity is present. Ensure you comply
with all applicable state and local codes and standards. Electrically ground the
generator set, transfer switch, and related equipment and electrical circuits. Turn off
the main circuit breakers of all power sources before servicing the equipment. Never
contact electrical leads or appliances when standing in water or on wet ground
because these conditions increase the risk of electrocution. It is highly
recommended that a barrier exists between you and the ground surface at all times.
We recommend using a wooden pallet with rubber mat on top to stand on while
working or servicing the standby generator. Grounding is required of all AC circuits,
use terminal (identify terminal) for bonding this circuit to the enclosure with a
grounding rod (Not provided with unit). Ground the enclosure to a grounding
electrode in accordance with state and local code requirements.
