SAFETY
ACCIDENTAL STARTING
WARNING
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. Turn the exercise switch to the OFF position.
2. Switch the main circuit breaker to the OFF position.
3. Turn the ATS control module to the OFF position.
4. Turn the engine control module switch to the OFF
position.
5. 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. Turn the engine control module switch to the ATS
position.
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.
• The 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.
• Avoid breathing exhaust fumes when near an operating
generator.
• NEVER 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.
• Install a battery-operated carbon monoxide detector
on each level of any building adjacent to the generator
following the manufacturer’s instructions.
• NEVER permit even partial blockage of engine cooling
ventilation air. Doing so can seriously affect safe
operation of the generator.
3. Turn the ATS control module switch to the AUTO
position.
4. Switch the main circuit breaker to the ON position.
5. Turn the exercise switch to the ON position.
Carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms include but are not
limited to the following:
• Light-headedness, dizziness
• Physical fatigue, weakness in joints and muscles
• Sleepiness, mental fatigue, inability to concentrate or speak
clearly, blurred vision
• Stomachache, vomiting, nausea
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.

SAFETY
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.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARDS
WARNING
NG and 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.
BURN HAZARDS
WARNING
ALWAYS allow hot surfaces to cool to
the touch. Running engines produce
heat. Severe burns can occur on
contact.
• DO NOT touch hot surfaces.
• Avoid contact with hot exhaust components and gases.

SAFETY
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.
BATTERY HAZARDS
WARNING
SAFETY LABELS
WARNING
All safety labels must be legible to alert
personnel of safety hazards.
• Replace any illegible or missing label immediately.
Missing safety labels must be replaced in their original
position before the generator is operated.
• DO NOT operate the generator if there are missing or
badly worn safety labels.
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.
