warnings in this manual.
• Become familiar with the oper-
ation and controls of the
generator. Know how to shut it
off quickly.
• Equip area of operation with a
fire extinguisher certified to
handle gasoline or fuel fires.

Operation of
voltage
sensitive appli-
ances without a
voltage surge
protector

household generator will incur
voltage variations causing
damage to voltage sensitive ap-
pliances or could result in fire.
