California Proposition 65
Generators produce powerful voltage that can cause
death or great physical harm.
• Notify the utility company when using generator for
backup power. Use approved transfer equipment to iso-
late generator from electric utility.
• NEVER connect to a building’s electrical system unless
a transfer switch has been installed by a qualified elec-
trician.
• NEVER touch bare wires or receptacles.
• NEVER use generator with electrical cords that are
worn, frayed, bare, or otherwise damaged.
• NEVER operate generator in rain or snow, or when the
generator is set on wet surface.
• Generator repairs should only be performed by a
trained service technician.
• Keep the generator out of reach of children, pets, and
untrained people.
• Exposed terminals, even on disconnected batteries,
can cause electric shock.
• NEVER touch both battery terminals with bare hands
at the same time.
• Remove rings, watches or any other object containing
metal when working with battery. If metal comes into
contact with battery terminals, electric shock and seri-
ous burns can result.
• Only use insulated/non-conducting tools when working
with or near battery.
• NEVER lay tools or other metal objects on top of bat-
tery.
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive under certain conditions.

area.
• NEVER enclose the generator in any structure.

buildings, other equipment, and combustible materials
during operation.
• NEVER fill fuel tank while the engine is running. Turn
generator OFF and allow to cool before filling with fuel.
• NEVER smoke or allow flames or sparks near the gen-
erator or where gasoline is stored.
• NEVER overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel in
the filler neck). After refueling, tighten the fuel cap
securely.

or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, the area
must be dry before starting the engine.
• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or
breathing of vapor.
