SAFE OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

OPERATION

Before operating the generator for the first time, please review the

GENERATOR SAFETY

section and the chapter titled

BEFORE

OPERATION

.

For your safety, avoid starting or operating the generator in an
enclosed area such as a garage. Your generator’s exhaust contains
poisonous carbon monoxide gas which can collect rapidly in an
enclosed area and cause illness or death.

Carbon monoxide gas is toxic.
Breathing it can cause
unconsciousness and even kill you.

Avoid any enclosed areas or
activities that expose you to carbon
monoxide.

Before connecting an AC appliance or power cord to the generator:

Use grounded 3-prong extension cords, tools, and appliances, or
double-insulated tools and appliances.
Inspect cords and plugs, and replace if damaged.

Do not operate the generator in an enclosed structure.

Operate the generator at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from buildings
and other equipment.

Make sure the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not
exceed that of the generator. Never exceed the maximum power
rating of the generator. Power levels between rated and maximum
may be used for no more than 30 minutes.

Make sure that the appliance is in good working order. Faulty
appliances or power cords can create a potential for electric shock.

Do not use cord lengths greater than 164 feet (50 meters), and do
not use multiple tools and appliances with built-in noise filters. Such
use may activate the GFCI and trip the circuit breaker.
