IMPORTANT PRODUCT SAFETY
WARNING
Always shut generator off before any fueling or
maintenance procedures.
WARNING
NEVER position the refueling door on the same side
of the generator as the exhaust muffler. Spilled
gasoline can result in fire.
WARNING
NEVER block or cover the generator exhaust muffler
in any way. Storm Shield canopy must be installed
above the generator’s exhaust muffler. Install Storm
Shield electrical aprons so that they CANNOT block
exhaust in any way. Keep the Storm Shield canopy
at least 6 inches away from direct contact with the
exhaust.
WARNING
Never install the Kevlar® strap over, or direct line
of, the generator exhaust muffler.
CAUTION
Always grasp fiberglass rods firmly during
installation to avoid the whipping motion that can
occur when a bent fiberglass rod is mistakenly
released.
CAUTION
Avoid using your portable generator in hurricane
force winds above 70mph (112.7 km/h).
NOTICE
Should generator handle cause significant
stretching of the elastic straps when extended;
it is advisable to release the elastics straps on
the handle side of the generator before extending
generator handles.
NOTICE
Should Storm Shield cover block pull star ter, it is
advisable to release the elastic straps on the pull
starter side and temporarily move the Storm Shield
canopy out of the way.
WARNING
Never use the Storm Shield on a generator in a
moving vehicle.
CAUTION
Over tightening ratchet buckle should be avoided.
The ratchet buckle and strap are capable of
tremendous forces that can snap the molded
sections and mar the generator case if over
tightened.
