Before using this generator and if you have any questions regarding the hazard and safety notices listed in this manual and/or on
this generator, call 1-866-460-9436, Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 4 PM Central Time.
Carbon Monoxide Gas: When in operation, the exhaust from this generator contains poisonous carbon
monoxide gas. Carbon monoxide gas is both odorless and colorless AND may be present even if you do not
see or smell gas. Breathing this poison gas can lead to headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, loss of
consciousness and eventually death.
• Use this generator ONLY outdoors in non-confined areas.
• Keep at least several feet of clearance on all sides to allow proper ventilation for this generator.
Chemicals: According to the State of California, the exhaust from this generator contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
Propane (LPG): This generator may emit highly flammable and explosive vapors, which can cause severe
burns or even death. A nearby open flame can lead to an explosion even if not directly in contact the fuel.
• Do not operate this generator near open flame.
• Always operate this generator on a firm, level surface.
This fuel is highly flammable and explosive. Handling fuel can result in serious injury or burns.
• Before starting the generator, inspect your LPG tank and NG pipeline and valve for damage or leaks, attach only
approved tanks that have been properly filled by an approved station, DO NOT light or smoke cigarette.
Replace the hose at the first sign of a leak or if age-cracking becomes apparent.
• Always handle propane fuel and generator outdoors.
• Before transporting, turn the fuel valve to the "off" position and disconnect the spark plug.
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. Doing so voids your warranty.
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.
• 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.
