Note:
We supply the engine owner’s manual
with generator. Refer to that manual for
questions concerning engine operation.
DANGER: Never connect gen-
erator to any existing electrical
circuits. The generator output will
back-feed into the utility power
line. This may electrocute a power
company line repair person. Also,
if generator is powering electri-
cal circuits, the chance of an elec-
trical fire exists.
DANGER: Use only in well-
vented areas. Make sure area has
plenty of free-moving, fresh, out-
side air. Never run generator in
an enclosed or confined area.
Never run generator inside occu-
pied building. Engine exhaust
contains poisonous carbon mon-
oxide gas. Overexposure will
cause loss of consciousness and
will lead to death.
