GEN1850 1850 Surge Watts Portable Generator 5
Powerful Voltage: This generator produces powerful voltage, which can result in electrocution.
• ALWAYS ground this generator before using it. (See “Ground the Generator” section in this manual).
• Only electrical devices should be plugged into this generator, either directly or with an extension cord. NEVER connect a building electrical
system to this generator without a qualified electrician. Such connections must isolate generator power from utility power and comply with local
electrical laws and codes. Failure to comply can create a back feed into utility lines creating an electrocution hazard, which may result in serious
injury or death to utility workers. Such a back feed may cause this generator to explode, burn and create fires when utility power is restored.
• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in highly conductive areas such as metal decking or steel work. GFCIs are available in-line with
some extension cords.
• Do not use this generator in wet conditions (rain, snow, active sprinkler system, wet hands, etc.). Always keep this generator dry and operate
it with dry hands.
• Do not touch bare wires or outlets (receptacles).
• Do not allow children or non-qualified persons to operate this generator.
High Temperatures: This generator produces heat when in operation. Temperatures near the exhaust can exceed 150 Degrees
Fahrenheit (65 Degrees Celsius).
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Observe all warning placards on this generator denoting hot surfaces.
• Allow this generator to cool for several minutes after use before touching the engine, muffler or other areas that are hot during operation and
before storing indoors.
• Hot exhaust may ignite some materials. Keep flammable materials away from this generator.
• Keep at least several feet of clearance on all sides of this generator during operation. Do not enclose this generator in any structure.
Usage: Misuse of this generator can damage it or shorten its life.
• Use this generator only for its intended purpose.
• Operate this generator only on a dry, level surface. Do not secure the generator with a chain or rope, which would prevent it from being moved
in an emergency.
• Allow this generator to run for several minutes before connecting any electrical devices.
• Promptly turn off any malfunctioning devices and disconnect them.
• Do not operate an excessive number of electrical devices in excess of the wattage capacity of this generator.
