IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a colorless,
odorless, poisonous gas. Breathing carbon monoxide will
cause nausea, dizziness, fainting or death. If you start to feel
dizzy or weak, get to fresh air immediately.
OPERATE GENERATOR OUTDOORS ONLY IN A WELL
VENTILATED AREA AND POINT EXHAUST AWAY.
DO NOT operate the generator inside any building, including
garages, basements, crawlspaces and sheds, enclosure or
compartment, including the generator compartment of a
recreational vehicle.
DO NOT allow exhaust fumes to enter a confined area through
windows, doors, vents or other openings.
DANGER
Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison
you cannot see or smell.
DANGER
Operate equipment with guards in place.
Rotating parts can entangle hands, feet, hair, clothing and/or
accessories. Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can
result.
Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.
Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
DO NOT wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling drawstrings or
items that could become caught.

windows are open.
ONLY use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors,
and vents.
Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in
carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING
Although the generator contains a spark arrester, maintain
a minimum distance of 5 ft. (1.5 m) from dry vegetation to
prevent fires.
Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in damp areas and
areas containing conductive material such as metal decking.
Connection to your home’s electrical system requires a
listed 30A transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician
and approved by the local authority having jurisdiction. The
connection must isolate the generator from the utility power
and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
WARNING
Do not use generator for medical and life support uses.
In case of emergency, call 911 immediately.
NEVER use this product to power life support devices or life
support appliances.
NEVER use this product to power medical devices or medical
appliances.
Inform your electricity provider immediately if you or anyone in
your household depends on electrical equipment to live.
Inform your electrical provider immediately if a loss of power
would cause you or anyone in your household to experience a
medical emergency.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Spark from removed spark plug wire can result in fire or
electrical shock.
When servicing the generator:
Disconnect the spark plug wire and place it where it cannot
contact the plug or any other metal object.
DO NOT check for spark with the plug removed.
Use only approved spark plug testers.
WARNING
Running engines produce heat. Severe burns can occur on
contact. Combustible material can catch fire on contact.
DO NOT touch hot surfaces.
Avoid contact with hot exhaust gases.
Allow equipment to cool before touching.
Maintain at least 3 ft. (91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides to
ensure adequate cooling.
Maintain at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance from combustible
materials.
CAUTION
Start the generator and allow the engine to stabilize before
connecting electrical loads.
Connect electrical equipment in the off position, and then turn
them on for operation.
Turn electrical equipment off and disconnect before stopping
the generator.
CAUTION
Improper treatment or use of the generator can damage it,
shorten its life or void the warranty.
Use the generator only for intended uses.
Operate only on level surfaces.
DO NOT expose generator to excessive moisture, dust,
or dirt.
DO NOT allow any material to block the cooling slots.
If connected devices overheat, turn them off and disconnect
them from the generator.
DO NOT use the generator if:
– Electrical output is lost
WARNING
Rapid retraction of the recoil cord will pull hand and arm
towards the engine faster than you can let go. Unintentional
startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or
laceration. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could
result.
When starting engine, pull the recoil cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
DO NOT start or stop the engine with electrical devices
plugged in and turned on.
CAUTION
Exceeding the generator’s running capacity can damage the
generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.
DO NOT overload the generator.
DO NOT tamper with the governed speed.
DO NOT modify the generator in any way.
– Equipment sparks, smokes or emits flames
– Equipment vibrates excessively

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Fuel Safety
DANGER
GASOLINE AND GASOLINE VAPORS ARE HIGHLY
FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Gasoline and gasoline vapors:
– Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
– Gasoline can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
– Gasoline is a liquid fuel but it’s vapors can ignite.
– Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up
immediately if spilled on skin or clothes.
– Gasoline has a distinctive odor, this will help detect potential
leaks quickly.
– Gasoline expands or contracts with ambient temperatures.
Never fill the gasoline tank to full capacity, as gasoline needs
room to expand when temperatures rise.
– In the case of any petroleum gasoline fire, flames should never
be extinguished unless the fuel supply valve can be turned
OFF. By not doing so, if a fire is extinguished and the supply
of fuel is not turned OFF, an explosion hazard could be created.
When operating the generator:
– DO NOT move or tip the generator during operation.
– DO NOT tip the generator or allow fuel or oil to spill.
When transporting or servicing the generator:
– Make certain that the fuel valve is in the OFF position and the
gasoline tank is empty.
– Disconnect the spark plug wire.
When storing the generator:
– Store away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and
other sources of ignition.
– Do not store generator or gasoline near furnaces, water
heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or have
automatic ignitions.
WARNING
Never use a gasoline container, gasoline tank, or any other fuel
item that is broken, cut, torn or damaged.
When adding or removing gasoline:
– DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
– Always turn the generator off and let cool for a minimum of
two minutes before removing the gasoline cap. Afterwards,
loosen gasoline cap to relieve pressure from the gasoline tank.
– Only fill or drain gasoline outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
– DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator at the gas
station. Always use an approved fuel container to transfer the
gasoline to the generator.
– DO NOT overfill the gasoline tank.
– Always keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames, pilot
lights, heat and other sources of ignition.
When starting the generator:
– DO NOT attempt to start a damaged generator.
– Always make certain that the gasoline cap, air filter, spark
plug, fuel lines and exhaust system are properly secured,
connected and in place.
– Always allow spilled gasoline to evaporate fully before
attempting to start the engine.
– Make certain that the generator is resting firmly on level
ground.
