WARNING:
FIRE & BURN HAZARDS
The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials. Keep generator at least 3 feet
(1 meter) away from buildings and other equipment during or immediately after operation.
Never enclose generator in any structure. Keep all flammable materials away from the
generator.
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for some time after the
engine stops. Do not touch the muffler while the engine is running or hot.
Allow the engine and the muffler to cool before storing. See storing instructions on page 7 of
this manual.
Gasoline is highly flammable and poisonous. Always stop the engine and allow the muffler
to cool before refueling. Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an open flame or
sparks. Never smoke near the generator.
Always check for spilled fuel or fuel leaks. Make sure that any spilled fuel has been wiped up
before starting the generator. When operating or transporting the generator, be sure that it
is kept upright. If the unit tilts, fuel may leak from the carburetor or fuel tank.
1. NEVER TOUCH MOVING PARTS.
Never place your hands, fingers or other body parts near the generator's moving parts.
Never insert your fingers or other objects into the housing's ventilator. Such an action invites the danger of
injuries or electric shocks.
2. NEVER USE GENERATOR FOR APPLICATIONS OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED.
Never use generator for applications other than those specified in the Instruction Manual.
3. ALWAYS KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.
Avoid injuries by not cluttering the work areas.
4. NEVER PERMIT CHILDREN OR OTHERS TO LOITER NEAR THE WORK AREA.
Keep all people (especially children) away from the work area.
5. ALWAYS WEAR PROPER APPAREL WHEN WORKING WITH THE TOOL.
Never wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get caught in the
moving parts. Always wear non-slip footwear, preferably with steel toes.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
6. When servicing this generator, use only authorized replacement parts.
7. Never operate the generator when you are tired, after you have taken any medications, or have consumed
any alcoholic beverages.
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
Grounding the generator helps prevent electric shock from a ground fault condition. To ground the generator
you will need a ground wire and grounding stake. These are not supplied with the generator. The ground wire
should be a #8, stranded-copper wire. The grounding point should be copper or brass.
1. Locate the ground plug below the generator control panel (shown in Fig.1).
2. Attach a ground wire to the ground plug.
3. Drive the grounding point into the ground.
4. Attach the ground wire to the grounding point.
The generator should be grounded to a good ground source in compliance
with National Electric Codes standards and local regulations. In some areas,
generators are required to be registered with local utility companies.
WARNING:
Use only grounded extension cords. Use only three wire or
double-insulated power tools.
WARNING:
Do not use metal pipe that is being used to carry
combustible materials or gasses for the grounding point.
