IMPORTANT PRODUCT SAFETY
WARNING
Always shut generator off before any fueling or
maintenance procedures.
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.
WARNING
NEVER position the refueling door on the same side
of the generator as the exhaust muffler. Spilled
gasoline can result in fire.
DANGER
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a
colorless, odorless, 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 compar tment, 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 CA RBON MONOXIDE: using a generator
indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
WARNING
NEVER block or cover the generator exhaust
muffler in any way. StormShield canopy must be
installed above generator exhaust muffler. Install
StormShield electrical skirts such that they cannot
block exhaust in any way. Keep the StormShield
canopy at least 6 inches away from direct contact
with the exhaust.
WARNING
ALWAYS install included washer between the knob
and the clamp base AND between the bolt head
and clamp base. Tightening the knob without
using the washer VOIDS the WARRA NT Y as it risks
breakage.
WARNING
NEVER use the StormShield on a generator
whose muf fler is openly exposed at the top of the
generator. These generators are disqualified and
VOID the WA RR ANTY of the StormShield.
CAUTION
Over tightening clamps should be avoided.
Two turns after the knob seats to the washer/clamp
is enough.
If you notice the mouth of the clamp pulling away
from the frame, the clamping strength has been
reduced and the knob should be loosened.
CAUTION
Always grasp fiberglass rods firmly during
installation to avoid the whipping motion that can
occur when a bent fiberglass rod is mistakenly
released.
