DANGER: DO NOT MODIFY OR MISAPPLY YOUR
GENERATOR SET. OPERATION OF THE
GENERATOR OTHER THAN INTENDED COULD
RESULT IN GENERATOR SET DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY
OR EVEN DEATH FROM ELECTROCUTION.
DANGER: NEVER TOUCH A RECEPTACLE OR BARE
WIRE. ELECTROCUTION OR SHOCK COULD
RESULT.
FIRE
WARNING: ALWAYS INSURE THAT AT LEAST 6 FEET
OF CLEARANCE ON ALL SIDES OF THE
GENERATOR ARE MAINTAINED DURING
OPERATION. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN PROPER CLEARANCE
COULD DAMAGE YOUR GENERATOR AND POTENTIALLY
LEAD TO FIRES.
WARNING: GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND
ITS VAPORS ARE EXPLOSIVE. FAILURE TO
PROPERLY HANDLE GASOLINE CAN RESULT IN
EXPLOSION OR FIRE. DO NOT PERMIT SMOKING WITHIN
50FT OF THIS GENERATOR SET.
WARNING: NEVER REFILL A HOT GENERATOR
WITH FUEL. NEVER REFILL THE GENERATOR
WHILE IT IS RUNNING. SPILLAGE ONTO THE
ENGINE OR GENERATOR COULD RESULT IN AN
EXPLOSION OR FIRE. ALWAYS ALLOW THE GENERATOR
SET TO COOL BEFORE REFILLING.
WARNING: DO NOT STORE THIS GENERATOR SET
IN ANY LOCATION WHERE GASOLINE FUMES
COULD POTENTIALLY COME INTO CONTACT WITH
SPARKS, A PILOT LIGHT OR AN OPEN FLAME. IMPROPER
STORAGE OF THIS GENERATOR COULD RESULT IN AN
EXPLOSION OR FIRE.
EXHAUST GASES
DANGER: DO NOT OPERATE THIS GENERATOR
WITHIN AN ENCLOSED AREA. THE EXHAUST
GASES OF THIS GENERATOR EMIT “DEADLY”
CARBON MONOXIDE. EXPOSURE TO CARBON MONOXIDE
CAN CAUSE CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING,
HEADACHES, NAUSEA, SEVERE SICKNESS OR DEATH.
BURNS AND SCALDS
CAUTION: KEEP HANDS, BODY PARTS, HAIR AND
CLOTHING AWAY FROM THE “HOT” PARTS OF THE
GENERATOR SET DURING AND AFTER OPERATION.
THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, AND THE GENERATOR IN
GENERAL, CAN REMAIN VERY HOT EVEN AFTER BEING
SHUT DOWN.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
CAUTION: INSPECT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM
REGULARLY TO ENSURE IT IS FUNCTIONING
PROPERLY. LEAKY EXHAUST SYSTEMS WILL
INCREASE NOISE LEVELS.
CAUTION: DIRECT THE “LOUD” SIDES OF THE
GENERATOR INTO OPEN SPACES AVOIDING
REVERBERATION FROM WALLS OR BUILDINGS
THUS AMPLIFYING THE SOUND.
CAUTION: INSPECT THE SPARK ARRESTOR
PERIODICALLY. SPARK ARRESTORS ARE
REQUIRED IN SOME AREAS AND MINIMIZE THE
RISK OF FIRE FROM SPARKS EMMITTED FROM THE
EXHAUST.
CAUTION: NEVER DRAIN OR DISPOSE OF ENGINE
OIL INTO THE GROUND OR DOMESTIC WASTE
WATER SYSTEMS.
GENERAL SAFETY
Always follow National and Local electrical codes pertaining to
generators. All local and national codes supersede rules or
information provided in this manual.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THIS GENERATOR IF
THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE EXCEEDS
104ºF/40ºC.
CAUTION: DO NOT EXCEED THE RATED CAPACITY
OF THE GENERATOR. THE TOTAL ELECTRICAL
LOADS AT EACH OUTLET MUST BE ADDED TO
DETERMINE THE TOTAL ELECTRICAL LOAD. THE TOTAL
LOAD MUST NOT EXCEED THE RATED CAPACITY OF THE
GENERATOR. IF THE DRIVEN APPARATUS DOES NOT LIST
WATTAGE, BUT ONLY AMPERAGE, WATTAGE MAY BE
DETERMINED BY MULTIPLYING AMPERAGE TIMES
VOLTAGE (WATTS = AMPS X VOLTS).
CAUTION: DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE ENGINE-
GOVERNED SPEED. THE GENERATOR OPERATES
AT A NOMINAL SPEED OF 3600 RPM. INCREASES IN
SPEED OVER THE 3600 RPM NOMINAL WILL INCREASE
THE CHANCE OF PERSONAL INJURY DUE TO
ROTATIONAL STRESSES ON THE ROTATING MEMBERS.
OPERATION OF THE GENERATOR AT SPEEDS BELOW
THE NOMINAL 3600 RPM COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
GENERATOR OR DRIVEN APPARATUS DUE TO LOW
VOLTAGE OUTPUT.
