CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARDS
! 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.
tThe generator must be installed and operated outdoors only. NEVER install the generator where exhaust fumes could seep inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied building through windows, air intake vents or other openings.
tAvoid breathing exhaust fumes when near an operating generator.
tNEVER alter or add to the exhaust system or do anything that might render the system unsafe or in noncompliance with applicable codes, standards, laws and regulations.
tInstall a battery-operated carbon monoxide detector on each
level of any building adjacent to the generator following the manufacturer’s instructions.
tNEVER permit even partial blockage of engine cooling ventilation air. Doing so can seriously affect safe operation of the generator.
Carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms include but are not limited to the following:
t Light-headedness, dizziness
t Physical fatigue, weakness in joints and muscles
t Sleepiness, mental fatigue, inability to concentrate or speak clearly, blurred vision
t Stomachache, vomiting, nausea
8 Part No. 101048
Model 100199
SAFETY
Carbon monoxide poisoning is possible if someone is experiencing any of these symptoms. Seek fresh air immediately. DO NOT sit, lie down or fall asleep. Alert others to the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning. If the affected person does
not improve within minutes of breathing fresh air, call 911 immediately.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARDS
! WARNING
Use extreme caution when near the generator while it is operating. The generator produces dangerous voltage.
tAvoid contact with bare wires, terminals and connections while the generator is operating.
tALWAYS stand on an insulated dry surface to reduce shock hazard
if work must be done on an operating generator.
tNEVER wear jewelry that can conduct electricity when working on the generator.
tNEVER handle any kind of electrical device while hands or feet are wet, while standing in water or while barefoot.
tProper 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.
tAvoid 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 frst aid and call 911 immediately.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARDS
! WARNING
NG and LPG are extremely explosive.
tNEVER allow any fames or smoke near the fuel system.
tWipe up any oil spills immediately.
tNEVER allow any combustible materials to be near the generator or to be left in the generator compartment.
tALWAYS keep the surrounding area near the generator clean and free of debris.
tBe sure to properly purge the fuel lines and leak-test according to applicable codes before placing the generator in service.
tBe sure to regularly inspect the fuel system for leaks. NEVER operate the generator if a fuel leak is present.
tInstall a fre 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 fre department with any questions concerning the fre extinguisher.
