DANGER
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR (See Figure 1)
To avoid the risk of shock or electrocution, the generator must be properly grounded. The nut and ground terminal on the frame must always be used to connect the generator to a suitable ground source. The ground path should be made with #8 size wire. Connect the terminal of the ground wire between the lock washer and the nut, and tighten the nut fully. Connect the other end of the wire securely to a suitable ground source.
If a steel or iron rod is used, it should be at least 1.59cm diameter, and if a nonferrous rod is used, it should be at least 1.27cm diameter and be listed as material for grounding. Drive the rod or pipe to a depth of 2.4m. If a rock bottom is encountered less than 1.2m. down, bury the rod or pipe in a trench. All electrical tools and appliances operated from this generator must be properly grounded by use of a
third wire or be “Double Insulated.”
important safety instructions
WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electrocution, fire, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning, which will cause death or serious injury.
WARNING:
National Electric Code requires generator to be
grounded to an approved earth ground. Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or local agency having jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator.

νAllow engine to cool for five minutes before refueling.
νTo reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, handle fuel with care. It is highly flammable.
νDo not smoke while handling fuel.
νStore fuel in a container approved for diesel.
νPosition the unit on level ground, stop engine, and allow to cool before refueling.
νLoosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep fuel from escaping around the cap.
νTighten the fuel cap securely after refueling.
νWipe spilled fuel from the unit.
νNever attempt to burn off spilled fuel under any circumstances.
νUse only authorised replacement parts and accessories and follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorised parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
WARNING:
When this generator is used to supply a building wiring system: generator must be installed by a qualified electrician and connected to a transfer switch as a separately derived system in accordance with NFPA 70, National Electrical Code. The generator shall be connected through a transfer switch that switches all conductors other than the equipment grounding conductor. Failure to isolate the generator from power utility can result in death or injury to electric utility workers.
νExhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless diesel. Breathing exhaust can cause loss of consciousness and can lead to death. If running in a confined or partially-enclosed area, the air may contain a dangerous amount of carbon monoxide. To keep exhaust fumes from building up, always provide adequate ventilation.
νAlways use a battery-powered carbon monoxide detector when running the generator. If you begin to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using the generator, shut it off and get to fresh air immediately. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
νPlace the generator on a flat, stable surface with a slope of no more than 4°.
νOperate in a well-ventilated, well-lit area isolated from working areas to avoid noise interference.
νOperating the generator in wet conditions could result in electrocution. Keep the unit dry.
νKeep the generator a minimum of 1 metre away from all types of combustible material.
νDo not operate generator near hazardous material.
νDo not operate generator at a diesel filling station.
νDo not touch the muffler or cylinder during or immediately after use; they are HOT and will cause burn injury.
νDo not connect to a building’s electrical system unless a transfer switch has been properly installed by a qualified electrician.
νDo not allow the generator’s diesel tank to overflow when filling. Fill to 25mm below the top neck of the diesel tank to allow for fuel expansion. Check the ventilation hole inside the fuel tank cap for debris. Do not block the vent.
νDo not smoke when filling the generator with diesel.
νAllow the engine to remain in a shut-down condition for at least five minutes before adding diesel or oil.
νDo not remove the oil dipstick or the fuel tank cap when the engine is running.
νPay close attention to all safety labels located on the generator.
νKeep children a minimum 3 metres away from the generator at all times.
νThe unit operates best in temperatures between -5°C and 40°C with a relative humidity of 90% or less.
νSpecific modifications for high-altitude performance are needed if the generator will always be operated at altitudes above 1,500 metres. Contact your nearest RYOBI authorised service centre for more information and to have these modifications performed.
νSave these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
