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.
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
– Equipment sparks, smokes or emits flames
– Equipment vibrates excessively
Maintain at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance from combustible materials.
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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Fuel Safety
DANGER
GASOLINE, GASOLINE VAPORS AND PROPANE (LPG) 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.
– 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.
– Gasoline expands or contracts with ambient temperatures.
Never fill the gasoline tank to full capacity, as gasoline needs room to expand if temperatures rise.
LPG:
– LPG is highly flammable and explosive.
– LPG is under pressure and can cause a fire or explosion if
ignited.
– LPG is heavier than air and can settle in low places while
dissipating.
– LPG has a distinctive odor added to help detect potential leaks
quickly.
When adding or removing gasoline:
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
Turn the generator off and let it cool for at least two minutes before removing the gasoline cap. Loosen the cap slowly to relieve pressure in the tank.
Only fill or drain gasoline outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator at the gas station. Use an approved container to transfer the fuel 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.
Make certain that the gasoline cap, air filter, spark plug, fuel lines and exhaust system are properly in place.
Allow spilled gasoline 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 valve is in the OFF position and the gasoline tank is empty.
For LPG compatible models, be sure that the LPG cylinder is disconnected and stored securely away from the generator.
Disconnect the spark plug wire.
When storing the generator:
– In any petroleum gas fire, flames should not be extinguished
unless the fuel supply valve is 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.
Store away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition.
Do not store generator, gasoline or LPG cylinders near furnaces, water heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or have automatic ignitions.
WARNING
Never use a gasoline container, gasoline tank, LPG connector hose, LPG cylinder or any other fuel item that is broken, cut, torn or damaged.
