SAFETY RULES
ENGLISH 100204
WARNING
Read this manual thoroughly before operating your generator. Failure to follow instructions could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
Cancer and Reproductive Harm – www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
DANGER
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a colourless, odourless, poison 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. 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 CARBON MONOXIDE: using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
DANGER
Generator produces powerful voltage.
DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles. DO NOT use electrical cords that are worn, damaged or frayed. DO NOT operate generator in wet weather. DO NOT allow children or unqualified persons to operate or service the generator Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in damp areas and areas containing conductive material such as metal decking. Use approved transfer equipment to isolate generator from your electric utility and notify your utility company before connecting your generator to your power system.
WARNING
Sparks 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. 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.

SAFETY RULES
WARNING
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.
WARNING
Operation of this equipment may create sparks that can start fires around dry vegetation.
A spark arrester may be required. The operator should contact local fire agencies for laws or regulations relating to fire prevention requirements.
DANGER
Rotating parts can entangle hands, feet, hair, clothing and/or accessories. Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can result.
WARNING
Rapid retraction of the starter 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 starter 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.
CAUTION
Exceeding the generator’s running capacity can damage the generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.
DO NOT overload the generator. 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 before stopping the generator. DO NOT tamper with the governed speed. DO NOT modify the generator in any way.
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.
CAUTION
Improper treatment or use of the generator can damage it, shorten its life and void your 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 – Equipment sparks, smokes or emits flames – Equipment vibrates excessively

SAFETY RULES
ENGLISH 100204
Fuel Safety
DANGER
GASOLINE, GASOLINE VAPORS AND LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS (LPG) ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death. Unintentional startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or laceration.
Gasoline and Gasoline Vapors (Gas):
– GAS IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE. – Gas can cause a fire or explosion if ignited. – Gas is a liquid fuel but it’s vapors can ignite. – Gas is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up
immediately if spilled on skin or clothes.
– Gas has a distinctive odor, this will help detect
potential leaks quickly.
– In any gas fire, flames should not be extinguished
unless by doing so the fuel supply valve can be turned OFF. This is because if a fire is extinguished and a supply of fuel is not turned OFF, then an explosion hazard could be created.
– Gas expands or contracts with ambient temperatures.
Never fill the gas tank to full capacity, as gas needs room to expand if temperatures rise.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (Propane/LPG):
– LPG (PROPANE) IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND
EXPLOSIVE.
– Flammable gas under pressure can cause a fire or
explosion if ignited.
– LPG (propane) is heavier than air and can settle in
low places while dissipating.
– LPG (propane) has a distinctive odor added to help
detect potential leaks quickly.
– In any petroleum gas fire, flames should not be
extinguished unless by doing so the fuel supply valve can be turned OFF. This is because if a fire is extinguished and a supply of fuel is not turned OFF, then an explosion hazard could be created.
– When exchanging LPG cylinders, be sure the cylinder
valve is of the same type. – Always keep the LPG cylinder in an upright position. – LPG will burn skin if it comes in contact with it.
Keep any and all LPG away from skin at all times.
When adding or removing Gas:
Turn the generator off and let it cool for at least two minutes before removing the fuel cap. Loosen the cap slowly to relieve pressure in the tank. Only fill or drain fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT pump gas directly into the generator at the gas station. Use an approved container to transfer the fuel to the generator. DO NOT overfill the fuel tank. Always keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition. DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
When starting the generator:
DO NOT attempt to start a damaged generator. Make certain that the gas cap, air filter, spark plug, fuel lines and exhaust system are properly in place. Allow spilled fuel to evaporate fully before attempting to start the engine. Make certain that the generator is resting firmly on level ground.
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 shutoff valve is in the off position and the fuel tank is empty.
Make certain that a LPG cylinder is not attached to generator and is securely stowed away. 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, gas or LPG cylinder near furnances, water heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or have automatic ignitions.
WARNING
Never use a gas container, LPG connector hose, gas tank, LPG cylinder or any other fuel item that is damaged or appears damaged.
