serious damage or destruction of the equipment
and possible personal injury.
1. ELECTRIC SHOCK- The output voltage present in this equipment can
cause a fatal electric shock. This equipment must be operated by a
responsible person.
a. Do not allow anyone to operate the generator without proper instruction.
b. Guard against electric shock.
c. Avoid contact with live terminals or receptacles.
d. Use extreme care if operating this unit in rain or snow.
e. Use only three-prong grounded receptacles and extension cords.
f. Be sure the unit is properly grounded to an external ground rod driven
into the earth.
2. FIRE HAZARD- Gasoline and other fuels always present a hazard of
possible explosion and/or fire.
a. Do not refuel when the engine is running or hot. Allow the engine to cool
at least two minutes before refueling.
b. Keep fuel containers out of reach of children.
c. Do not smoke or use open flame near the generator set or fuel tank.
d. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and know its proper use. Fire extinguisher
rated ABC by NFPA are appropriate.
e. Store fuel only in an approved container, and only in a well-ventilated area.
3. DEADLY EXHAUST GAS - Exhaust fumes from any gasoline engine
contain carbon monoxide, an invisible, odorless and deadly gas that must
be mixed with fresh air.
a. Operate only in well ventilated areas.
b. Never operate indoors.
c. Never operate the unit in such a way as to allow exhaust gases to seep
back into closed rooms (i.e. through windows, walls or floors).
4. NOISE HAZARD - Excessive noise is not only tiring, but continual
exposure can lead to loss of hearing.
a. Use hearing protection equipment when working around this equipment
for long periods of time.
b. Keep your neighbors in mind when permanently installing this equipment.
5. CLEANLINESS- Keep the generator and surrounding area clean.

technician.
a. Use only factory approved repair parts.
b. Do not work on this equipment when fatigued.
c. Never remove the protective guards, cover, or receptacle panels while
the engine is running.
d. Use extreme caution when working on electrical components. High
output voltages from this equipment can cause serious injury or death.
e. Always avoid hot mufflers, exhaust manifolds, and engine parts. They
all can cause severe burns instantly.
f. This generator set is not intended for permanent installation. Consult dealer
for units intended for stand-by service. Installing a generator set is not a
“do-it-yourself” project. Consult a qualified, licensed electrician or
contractor. The installation must comply with all national, state, and local
codes.
