Remember that a careless fraction of a second is suf-
ficient to inflict serious injury.

With the generator in normal operating position, find the
holes on the frame above the recoil starter.
 Align the holes in one of the handle brackets with the
holes in one side of the generator frame.
 Insert a clevis pin through the handle bracket and frame.
The head of the pin should be on the outside of the

CAUTION
Do not attempt to lift the unit by the handle assembly.
If it is necessary to lift the generator, always grasp by
the frame. Use proper lifting techniques to avoid back
injury.
DANGER:
Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors WILL KILL
YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon mon-
oxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. If
you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing
CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could
be breathing CO.

Never use a generator inside homes, garages, crawl-
spaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels
of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Us-
ing a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT
supply enough fresh air.
 ONLY use a generator outdoors and far away from
open windows, doors, and vents. These openings
can pull in generator exhaust.
Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak
into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or bat-
tery-backup CO alarm in the home.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator
has been running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a
doctor. You could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
