1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not operate the generator near gasoline or gaseous fuel because of the
potential danger of explosion or fire.
Do not fill the fuel tank with fuel while the engine is running. Do not smoke or
use open flame near the fuel tank. Be careful not to spill fuel during refueling.
If fuel is spilt, wipe it off and let dry before starting the engine.
Do not place inflammables near the generator.
Be careful not to place fuel, matches, gunpowder, oily cloths, straw, trash, or
any other inflammables near the generator.
Do not operate the generator inside a
room, cave, tunnel, or other
insufficiently ventilated area. Always
operate it in a well-ventilated area,
otherwise the engine may become
overheated, and the poisonous
carbon monoxide gas contained in
the exhaust gases will endanger
human lives. Keep the generator at
least 3 feet (1 meter) away from any
structure or building during use.
If the generator must be used indoors, the area must be well-ventilated and
extreme caution must be taken regarding the discharge of exhaust gases.
Do not enclose the generator nor cover it with a box.
The generator has a built-in forced air cooling system, and may become
overheated if it is enclosed. If generator has been covered to protect it from
the weather during non use, be sure to remove it and keep it well away from
the area during generator use.
