For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.
Do not refill the Fuel Tank while the Engine is running or while the Engine is
still hot. Do not operate the Generator with known leaks in the fuel system.
Excessive buildup of unburned fuel gases in the exhaust system can create
a potentially explosive condition. This buildup can occur after repeated failed
start attempts, valve testing, or hot engine shutdown. If this occurs, open exhaust
system drain plugs, if equipped, and allow the gases to dissipate before attempting
to restart the Generator.
Any separate Generator fuel storage facility must be built/installed in full
compliance with all relevant local, state, and federal regulations.
MECHANICAL PRECAUTIONS
Do not operate the Generator with safety guards removed. While the Generator
is running, do not attempt to reach around the safety guards for any reason.
ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS
All connections and conduits from the Generator to the load must only be
installed by trained and licensed electricians, and in compliance with all
relevant local, state, and federal electrical codes and standards, and other
regulations where applicable.
The Generator must be earth-grounded in accordance with all relevant electri-
cal codes and standards before operation.
Do not attempt to connect or disconnect load connections while standing in
water, or on wet or soggy ground.
Insulate all connections and disconnected wires. Do not touch electrically en-
ergized parts of the Generator and interconnecting cables or conductors with any
part of the body, or with any non-insulated conductive object.
Connect the generator only to a load or electrical system (110/120 volt) that
is compatible with the electrical characteristics and rated capacities of the
Generator.
Before servicing equipment powered by the Generator, disconnect the equip-
ment from its power input.
Keep all electrical equipment clean and dry. Replace any wiring where the
insulation is cracked, cut, abraded or otherwise degraded. Replace terminals that
are worn, discolored, or corroded. Keep terminals clean and tight.
Keep access doors on enclosures closed and locked when access is not
required.
Keep all electrical cords away from moving parts on the generator.
