IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The engine of this generator requires an adequate free
flow of cooling air. Never operate the generator in any
enclosed or narrow area where free flow of the air is
restricted. If the air flow is restricted it will cause serious
damage to the generator or engine and may cause injury
to people. The generator engine gives off DEADLY carbon
monoxide gas.
High Temperatures – Allow the engine to cool before
adding fuel or performing service and maintenance
functions. Contact with
hot
components can cause serious
burns.
NEVER touch the hot exhaust manifold,
muffler or cylinder. Allow these parts to cool
before servicing engine or generator.
