GENERATOR SAFETY WARNINGS
GENERATOR OPERATION
1. Only use the generator for its intended purposes. Modifying or using the generator for operations for which it
was not designed may cause hazards and personal injury.
2. Do not touch bare wires or receptacles (outlets).
3. Do not exceed the wattage capacity of the generator by plugging in more electrical devices than the unit can
handle.
4. Allow generator to run for several minutes before connecting electrical devices.
5. Do not exceed the wattage capacity of the generator by plugging in more electrical devices than the unit can
handle (see “OPERATION” section).
6. Do not turn on electrical devices until after they are connected to the generator.
7. Generators vibrate in normal use. During and after the use of the generator, inspect both the generator as well
as extension and power supply cords for damage resulting from vibration.
8. Do not touch HOT PARTS. This generator produces heat when running. Temperatures near exhaust can ex-
ceed 150º F (65º C). Allow generator to cool down after use before touching engine or areas of the generator that
become hot during use.
9. Turn off all connected electrical devices before stopping the generator.
10. Always turn generator off before refueling. Allow generator to cool for at least 2 minutes before removing fuel
cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.
11. Turn the engine switch to “OFF” position when the engine is not running.
12. Empty fuel tank before storing or transporting the generator. Do not store generator or gasoline near furnaces,
water heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or have automatic ignitions. Store the generator and fuel
away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition.
CAUTION: Misuse of this generator can damage it or shorten its lifespan.
TO MAXIMIZE THE LIFESPAN OF YOUR GENERATOR:
We recommend running your generator at least once a month for 20 to 30 minutes. Start the generator accord-
ing to the instructions and plug a small load in to make sure the outlet is producing electricity.
If you do not run it often, it will greatly shorten the generator’s lifespan and void the warranty.
