Safety Warnings and Precautions
Electrical Safety
This generator produces high voltage electricity.
• The generator produces enough electric power to cause serious shock
or electrocution if misused.
• Always connect the generator to a suitable ground circuit.
• When servicing the generator, disconnect the spark plug wire and
place it where it cannot contact the plug. Turn the engine switch to the
OFF position.
• Do not check for a spark with the plug removed. Use only approved
spark plug testers.
• Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet conditions, such as
rain or snow, or near a pool or sprinkler system, or when your hands
are wet, could result in electrocution. Keep the generator dry and
away from all sources of moisture.
• If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the weather,
check all of the electrical components on the control panel before
each use. Moisture or ice can cause a malfunction or short circuit in
electrical components that could result in electrocution.
• Do not connect the generator to a building’s electrical system unless
an isolation switch has been installed that meets applicable electrical
codes and regulations.
• To avoid overloading the generator, ensure that the load is kept within
the rated power range stated on the generator. Overloading will
damage the unit and / or shorten its operating lifespan.
• Do not attempt to connect P3000iE generators in parallel.
Fire Safety
Generator exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials and
burn skin if touched.
• Keep the generator away from buildings, other equipment, and
combustible materials during operation.
• Do not enclose the generator in any structure.
• Keep children and pets away from generator.
