DANGER: Storage batteries emit highly explosive hydrogen gas when charged.
Batteries also contain acid, which can cause severe chemical burns.
• Do not allow open flames or cigarettes nearby for several minutes after
charging a battery.
• Always wear protective goggles and rubber gloves when charging a battery.
> If battery acid gets on your skin, flush with water.
If battery acid gets in your eyes, flush with water and call a physician
immediately.
If battery acid is swallowed, drink large quantities of milk and call a
physician immediately.
STOPPING THE GENERATOR
To stop the generator:
1. Turn off; then unplug all connected electrical devices.
2. Switch the circuit breaker to the "oft" position.
3. Allow the generator to run for several more minutes with no electrical devices
connected. This helps stabilize the temperature of the generator.
4. Set the engine switch to the "off' position.
5. Turn the fuel valve to the "off' position.
A WARNING: Allow the generator to cool for several minutes before touching
areas that become hot during use.
CAUTION: Allowing gas to sit in the generator tank for long periods of time
without use can make it difficult to start the generator in the future. Never store
generator for extended periods of time with fuel in the tank.
