IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Cancer and Reproductive Harm – www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
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.
GENERATOR MUST BE INSTALLED AND OPERATED OUTDOORS ONLY.
Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning symptoms include but are not limited to the following:
– Lightheadedness, dizziness, blurred vision
– Physical fatigue, weakness in joints and muscles
– Mental fatigue, sleepiness, inability to concentrate or
speak clearly,
– Stomachache, vomiting, nausea
In the event of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning:
– Seek fresh air immediately
– DO NOT sit, lie down or fall asleep.
– Alert others to the possibility of carbon monoxide (CO)
poisoning.
– If the affected person does not improve within minutes
of breathing fresh air, call 911 immediately for medical assistance.
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.
Installation Hazards
WARNING
Have only a qualified electrician or installation technician who is familiar with applicable codes, standards and regulations install and service the generator.
ALWAYS comply with local, state and national electrical and building codes when installing the generator. NEVER alter the recommended installation in a way that would render the unit noncompliant with these codes.
ALWAYS comply with regulations that Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has established.
ENSURE the generator is installed following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Before Starting
CAUTION
Before operation, read and understand the features and controls of the generator, including the safety information of this manual.
The owner/operator is responsible for safe operation and maintenance of the generator. Be sure all potential users of the generator also understand these instructions. If any portion of this manual is not understood, contact your dealer for assistance before operating the generator.
The operator is responsible for performing all safety checks, making sure all maintenance is properly performed and making sure the generator is periodically checked by the dealer.
Inspect the generator regularly. Contact your dealer if repairs are needed.
NEVER climb or step on any part or components of the generator. Doing so may result in injury and cause leaking fuel and exhaust.
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
Operation Hazards
WARNING
ALWAYS operate the generator following the manufacturer’s instructions. Operating the generator improperly or neglecting maintenance can result in serious injury or possible death.
DO NOT allow children or unqualified persons to operate or service the generator.
NEVER operate the generator with the covers open. Operate the generator only with the covers closed and secured in place. NEVER leave the covers unlocked.
Remain alert at all times when working on the generator. NEVER work on the generator when physically or mentally fatigued.
NEVER operate the generator while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Accidental Starting
WARNING
Carbon Monoxide Hazards
DANGER
– Generator must be installed and operated outdoors only.
– NEVER allow exhaust fumes to enter a confined area
through windows, doors, air intake vents or other openings of the building
– ALWAYS avoid breathing exhaust fumes when near an
operating generator.
– NEVER alter the generator or modify the exhaust system
thereby creating noncompliance with Federal and State emissions regulations, local applicable codes, standards and laws.
– NEVER allow blockage of the engine’s air intake cooling
ventilation system. Doing so can seriously affect performance and safe operation of the generator.
– Install a battery-operated carbon monoxide (CO) detector
on each level of any building adjacent to the generator location following the manufacturer’s CO detector installation instructions.
ALWAYS prevent the generator from starting while the covers are open. The generator may crank and start at any time without notice. Follow these steps in order:
1. Pull fuse from aXis Controller™ panel and secure with tape to the panel.
2. Disconnect the NEGATIVE, NEG or (-) battery cable first, and then remove the POSITIVE, POS or (+) battery cable.
To return the generator to service, follow these steps in order:
1. Connect the POSITIVE, POS or (+) battery cable first, and then connect the NEGATIVE, NEG or (-) battery cable.
2. Remove taped fuse from the panel and reinstall into the aXis Controller™ module.
NOTICE
In many States it is required by law to have a Carbon Monoxide (CO) detector on each level of any building in operating condition.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea, dizziness, fainting or death.
A Carbon Monoxide (CO) detector is a device that detects elevated hazardous levels of CO and will alert the occupants by flashing a visual light indicator and an audible alarm.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical Shock Hazards
WARNING
Use extreme caution when near the generator while it is operating. The generator produces dangerous voltage.
– Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals and connections
while the generator is operating.
– ALWAYS stand on an insulated dry surface to reduce shock
hazard if work must be done on an operating generator.
– NEVER wear jewelry that can conduct electricity when
working on the generator.
– NEVER handle any kind of electrical device while hands or
feet are wet, while standing in water or while barefoot.
– Proper earth grounding of the frame and external electrical
conductive components is required by the National Electrical Code (NEC). State and local codes for proper grounding may also apply.
– Avoid direct contact with an electric shock victim.
Immediately shut down the source of electrical power. If this is not possible, attempt to free the victim from the live conductor using a nonconducting item such as a dry board or rope. If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid and call 911 immediately.
Burn Hazards
WARNING
DO NOT touch hot surfaces.
– ALWAYS avoid contact with hot exhaust components and
gases. Running engines produce heat. Severe burns can occur on contact.
– ALWAYS allow hot surfaces to cool to the touch.
Entanglement Hazards
WARNING
Use extreme caution when near rotating parts. 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.
– Operate equipment with guards in place.
– DO NOT wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling drawstrings
or items that could become caught.
Fire/Explosion Hazards
WARNING
Natural Gas (NG) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) are extremely explosive.
– NEVER allow any flames or smoke near the fuel system.
– Wipe up any oil spills immediately.
– NEVER allow any combustible materials to be near the
generator or to be left in the generator compartment.
– ALWAYS keep the surrounding area near the generator
clean and free of debris.
– Be sure to properly purge the fuel lines and leak-test
according to applicable codes before placing the generator in service.
– Be sure to regularly inspect the fuel system for leaks.
NEVER operate the generator if a fuel leak is present.
– Install a fire extinguisher near the generator. Keep it
properly charged and be familiar with its use. An ABC rated National Fire Protection extinguisher is appropriate for use on standby electric systems. Contact your local fire department with any questions concerning the fire extinguisher.
Battery Hazards
WARNING
Always read and comply with the battery manufacturer’s recommendations for procedures concerning proper battery use and maintenance.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid and generate explosive mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen gases. Keep any device that may cause sparks or flames away from the battery to prevent explosion.
Always wear protective glasses or goggles and protective clothing when working with batteries. You must follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions on safety, maintenance and installation procedures.
