SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP

Operating Precautions

1. CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD

Using a generator indoors

CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.

Generator exhaust contains

carbon monoxide. This is a poison

you cannot see or smell.

NEVER use inside a home or garage,

EVEN IF doors and windows are open.

Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows,

doors, and vents.

2. Never use a generator indoors, including in

garages, basements, crawl spaces and sheds.

Opening doors and windows or using fans will NOT

prevent carbon monoxide build up in the home.

3. When using generators, keep them outdoors

and far away from open doors, windows,

and vents to avoid toxic levels of carbon

monoxide from building up indoors.

4. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while

using a generator, get to fresh air right away.

The carbon monoxide from generators can

quickly lead to full incapacitation and death.

5. Keep children away from the equipment,

especially while it is operating.

6. Keep all spectators at least six feet

from the Engine during operation.

7. Fire Hazard! Do not fill fuel tank while engine is

running. Do not operate if gasoline has been spilled.

Clean spilled gasoline before starting engine.

Do not operate near pilot light or open flame.

8. Do not touch engine during use.

Let engine cool down after use.

9. Never store fuel or other flammable

materials near the engine.

10. If the plugged in product operates abnormally

or unusually slow, immediately stop using the

generator as a power source. Read and adhere

to the instruction manual of the product to be

powered to make sure that it can be safely and

efficiently powered by a portable generator.

11. Before connecting an appliance or power cord

to the generator: Make sure that it is in good

working order. Faulty appliances or power cords

can create a potential for electrical shock.

12. Do not exceed the maximum power rating of the

generator. Make sure that the total electrical rating

of the all of the tools or appliances plugged into

the generator at the same time does not exceed

that of the generator. Check that the startup surge

will not be beyond the limit of the Generator.

13. Avoid substantially overloading which will trip

the circuit breaker. Slightly overloading the

generator may not trip the circuit breaker,

but will lead to premature generator failure.

14. Do not attempt to connect or disconnect

load connections while standing in water,

or on wet or soggy ground.

15. Do not touch electrically energized parts of

the Generator and interconnecting cables

or conductors with any part of the body, or

with any non-insulated conductive object.

16. Connect the Generator only to a load that is

compatible with the electrical characteristics

and rated capacities of the Generator.

17. Insulate all connections and disconnected wires.

18. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact

with grounded surfaces such as pipes,

radiators, ranges, and refrigerators.

19. Only use a suitable means of transport and

lifting devices with sufficient weight bearing

capacity when transporting the generator.

20. Secure the generator on transport vehicles to

prevent it from rolling, slipping, and tilting.

21. Industrial applications must follow

OSHA requirements.

22. Do not leave the generator unattended when it is

running. Turn off the generator (and remove safety

keys, if available) before leaving the work area.

23. The generator can produce high noise levels.

Prolonged exposure to noise levels

above 85 dBA is hazardous to hearing.

Wear ear protection when operating the generator

or when working nearby while it is operating.

24. Wear ANSI-approved safety glasses

and hearing protection during use.

25. People with pacemakers should consult their

physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in

close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause

pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.

Caution is necessary when near the

engine’s magneto or recoil starter.
