WARNING: WEAR EYE PROTECTION,
RUBBER APRON AND RUBBER GLOVES
WHEN WORKING AROUND A BATTERY OR
PERFORMING BATTERY SERVICE. BATTERY FLUID
IS AN EXTREMELY CAUSTIC SULFURIC ACID,
WHICH CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS. DO NOT
PERMIT THE BATTERY FLUID TO COME IN
CONTACT WITH YOUR CLOTHES OR SKIN.
WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE
NEGATIVE (-) BATTERY CABLE FROM THE
BATTERY BEFORE PERFORMING BATTERY
SERVICE OR BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
ELECTRICAL SERVICE ON THE GENERATOR OR
ENGINE.
GENERAL SAFETY OPERATIONAL
GUIDELINES
Read and understand all the general safety
operational guidelines and rules before operating
this generator.
Always follow National and Local electrical codes.
When moving or transporting this generator, take
proper precautions to avoid fuel spillage. Further,
always use common sense when lifting this
generator. An adequate number of people and
proper lifting procedures must be used.
Do not wire your generator to a home or structure
fed by utility power without proper isolation circuitry.
Consult a local licensed electrician for proper wiring
of your generator to a home, business or any facility
or structure fed by utility power. Failure to properly
isolate utility and generator electrical power could
result in generator damage or electrocution to you or
a utility worker. The main breaker, which
disconnects from the utility power, must be open
before the generator can safely be connected.
Do not operate this generator unless the generator
is in good mechanical and electrical condition.
Do not overload this generator. Overloading this
generator can cause generator damage, powered
apparatus damage and excessive heat build up.
Always keep hands, body parts, hair and clothing
well away from the rotating or “HOT” parts of the
generator set. Exhaust systems can cause severe
burns.
Do not start this generator with connected devices
turned “ON”. Always make sure that connected
devices are disconnected from the generator or
turned “OFF” before starting the generator.
Do not operate this generator within an enclosed
area. The operation area of the generator must be
completely open. The exhaust gases of this
generator emit “DEADLY” carbon monoxide.
Exposure to carbon monoxide can cause carbon
monoxide poisoning, headaches, nausea, severe
sickness or death.
Do not install this generator in an enclosed area
such as a RV or motorhome. All warranty will be null
and void if installed within an enclosed area.
Always insure that at least 6 feet of clearance on all
sides of the generator are maintained during
operation. Failure to maintain proper clearance
could damage your generator and potentially lead to
fires.
Never touch a receptacle or bare wire. Electrocution
or shock could result.
Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors
are EXPLOSIVE. Handle gasoline with extreme
care. Failure to properly handle gasoline can result
in explosion or fire. Do not permit smoking within
50ft of this generator set.
NEVER REFILL A HOT GENERATOR WITH FUEL.
NEVER REFILL THE GENERATOR WHILE IT IS
RUNNING. Spillage onto the engine or generator
could result in an explosion or fire. Always allow the
generator set to cool before refilling.
Do not store this generator set in any location where
gasoline fumes could potentially come into contact
with sparks, a pilot light or an open flame. Improper
storage of this generator could result in an explosion
or fire.
GROUNDING: The NATIONAL ELECTRICAL
CODE requires that the generator frame be properly
grounded to earth. A ground lug is provided on the
generator frame. As a general guideline, a 10 AWG
wire connected to the grounding lug of the generator
on one end (located on the generator frame as
indicated by the International “GROUND” symbol)
and connected to a copper or brass ground rod
(driven into the ground) on the other end of the wire.
Some locations require generator set or other
grounding. Check with a local electrician to
determine the grounding requirements for your area.
Electrical generators produce electricity. Therefore,
never allow or perform service operations to your
generator set without proper training/certification.
Service operations, without proper precautions can
cause severe shock and even death by
electrocution.
Generators operating on job or construction sites
must be equipped with GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupters) on all circuits. Certain generator models
are not equipped with GFCI circuits. Therefore,
customer supplied GFCI’s must be installed in the
power cords connected to the generator. Consult a
local licensed electrician for proper wiring.
Use only 3-Prong extension cords in good condition
and make sure that the wire size within the
extension cords is of sufficient size to safely carry
the surge output of the generator.
Never handle extension cords or electrical circuits if
standing in water or if standing in a damp area.
Operate, service or fill with fluids on a level surface
only.
Do not operate this generator in a corrosive or
flammable environment.
Never clean this generator with high-pressure water
or a garden hose. Water can accumulate within the
generator and cause fuel system, ignition system
and or electrical problems or shorts. Cleaning should
be done with a damp rag on a cool generator set.
