Risk of electrocution and fire

Hazard

What could happen

How to prevent it

Improper storage of extension cord.

Extension cord can come into contact

with hot engine parts resulting in

damage. Using a damaged extension

cord can result in electrocution or death.

Remove extension cord from the

generator and store separately away

from generator.

Operation of generator in rain, wet,

icy, or flooded conditions.

Water is an excellent conductor of

electricity! Water which comes in

contact with electrically charged

components can transmit electricity

to the frame and other surfaces,

resulting in electrical shock to anyone

contacting them.

Operate generator in a clean, dry, well

ventilated area. Make sure hands are

dry before touching unit.

Placing generator on or against

highly conductive surface, such as a

steel walkway or metal roof.

Accidental leakage of electrical current

could charge conductive surfaces in

contact with the generator.

Place generator on low conductivity

surface such as a concrete slab.
ALWAYS operate generator a

minimum of 2 meters from any

conductive surface.

Use of worn, damaged or

ungrounded extension cords.

Contact with worn or damaged

extension cords could result in

electrocution.
Use of ungrounded cordsets could

prevent operation of circuit breakers

and result in electrical shock.

Inspect extension cords before use and

replace with new cord if required.
Always use a cordset having a

grounding wire with an appropriate

grounding plug. DO NOT use an

ungrounded plug.

Operation of unit when damaged,

or with guards or panels removed.

Attempting to use the unit when it

has been damaged, or when it is not

functioning normally could result in fire

or electrocution.
Removal of guarding could expose

electrically charged components and

result in electrocution.

Do not operate generator with

mechanical or electrical problem.

Have unit repaired by an Authorised

Service Centre.
Do not operate generator with

protective guarding removed.
