3500W Generator
General Precautions (cont’d)
Personal Safety (cont’d)
• Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the power switch is in its “OFF” position, and disconnect
the spark plug wire when not in use.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the generator on. A wrench or a key that is
left attached to a rotating part of the generator may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Wear ANSI approved safety impact eye
goggles. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
• Do not force the generator. Use the correct generator for your application. The correct generator
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use the generator if the power switch does not turn it on or off. Any generator that cannot
be controlled with the power switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
Generator Use and Care
Make sure the power switch is in its “OFF” position and disconnect the spark plug wire before
making any adjustment, changing accessories, or storing the generator. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the generator accidentally.
Store idle generators out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Generators are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain generators with care. Do not use damaged generator. Tag damaged generators “Do not
use” until repaired.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that
may affect the generator’s operation. If damaged, have the generator serviced before using. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained generators.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that
may be suitable for one generator may become hazardous when used on another generator.
