1-6 Product Safety Information MN2410
Caution Statements
Caution: The brass connecting tab on some 120VAC duplex receptacles have been removed. Each
receptacle is powered by a separate generator winding. When replacing a receptacle, inspect
the brass tab that normally links both receptacles. If it is removed, be sure to remove the
brass tab from the replacement receptacle before it is installed. Failure to remove the tab will
cause a direct short to the generator windings and cause possible generator damage.
Caution: Avoid installing the generator set beside heat generating equipment, or directly below water
or steam pipes or in the vicinity of corrosive substances or vapors, metal particles and dust.
Heat can cause engine problems to develop and unwanted substances can cause rust or
generator failure over time.
Caution: Do not apply high voltage to windings in a moisturesaturated condition. Moisture can cause
insulation breakdown, making it necessary to return the generator to the factory for repair,
and consequent expense and loss of time.
Caution: Use only original equipment or authorized replacement parts. Using the correct parts will
assure continued safe operation as designed.
Caution: Do not support the generator from the top of the wrap frame.
Caution: Do not tamper with or change the engine speed. Engine speed is factory set to produce the
correct voltage and output frequency.
Caution: Never operate the engine without a muffler. The engine is designed to have the correct
exhaust components installed and operating without these components can present a fire
hazard, cause excessive exhaust gases and cause damage to engine. Inspect muffler
periodically and replace if necessary.
