WARNING
Generator produces hazardous voltage.
Failure to isolate generator from power utility
can result in death or injury to electric utility
workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.
• When using generator for backup power, notify utility company.
Use approved transfer equipment to isolate generator from
electric utility.

and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
• NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in
and turned on.

explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
