This product is not equipped with a spark arresting muffler. If the product will be used around flammable
•
materials, or on land covered with materials such as agricultural crops, forest, brush, grass, or other similar
items, then an approved spark arrester must be installed and is legally required in the state of California. It is a
violation of California statutes section 130050 and/or sections 4442 and 4443 of the California Public Resources
Code, unless the engine is equipped with a spark arrestor, as defined in section 4442, and maintained in effective
working order. Spark arresters are also required on some U. S. Forest service land and may also be legally
required under other statutes and ordinances.

Information for preventing damage to
equipment.
Information that you should pay special
attention to.
• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS •
including the following:
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION AND FIRE
HAZARD
Attempting to connect generator directly
to the electrical system of any building
structure.
Inadequate electrical grounding of generator.
Back feeding electricity through a
building’s electrical system to the
outside utility feed lines could endanger repair persons attempting to
restore service.
Attempting to connect to the incoming
utility service could result in electrocution.
Restoration of electrical service while
the generator is connected to the incoming utility could result in a fire or
serious damage if a isolator switch is
not installed.
The failure of one of the generator’s
electrical devices, a broken wire, wet
surfaces, etc. could result in the entire
unit becoming electrically charged.
Contact with electrically charged
surfaces could result in electrocution.
HOW TO PREVENT ITWHAT COULD HAPPEN
To connect to a structures electrical
system in a safe manner and in compliance with local ordinances, it is
necessary to
have an isolator switch installed by a
qualified electrician.
Make sure that the unit is connected
to an appropriate electrical ground,
in accordance with the requirement
of the National Electric Code. See
page 12 for grounding instructions.

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE GENERATOR.
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION AND FIRE (cont’d)
HAZARD
Operation of generator in rain, wet, icy,
or flooded conditons.
Use of worn damaged, undersized or ungrounded extension cords.
Water is an excellent conductor of
electricity! Water which comes in
contact with electricty charged components can transmit electricity to the
frame and other surfaces, resulting in
electrical shock to anyone contacting
them.
Contact with worn or damaged extension
cords could result in electrocution.
Use of undersize extension cords could
result in overheating of the wires or attached items, resulting in fire.
Use of ungrounded cordsets could prevent operation of circuit breakers and result in electrical shock.
HOW TO PREVENT ITWHAT COULD HAPPEN
Operate generator in a clean, dry, well
ventilated area. Make sure hands are
dry before touching unit.
Inspect extension cords before use
and replace with new if required.
Use proper size (wire gauge) cordset
for application see chart on page 12.
Always use electrically grounded
cordset.
Placing generator on or against highly
conductive surface, such as a steel
walkway or metal roof.
Improper connection of items to generator.
Operation of unit when damaged, or
with guards or panels removed.
Accidental leakage of electrical current
could charge conductive surfaces in contact with the generator.
Exceeding the load capacity of the generator by attaching too many items, or
items with very high load ratings to it
could result in overheating of some items
or their attachment wiring resulting in fire
or electrical shock.
Attempting to use the unit when it has
been damaged, or when it is not functioning normally could result in fire or
electrocution.
Removal of guarding could expose
electrically charged components and
result in electrocution.
Place generator on low conductivity
surface such as a concrete slab.
Read the load rating chart and instructions on page 9. Make sure that the
summation of electrical loads for all
attachments does not exceed the
load rating of the generator.
Do not operate generator with mechanical or electrical problem. Have
unit repaired by an Authorized Service Center.
Do not operate generator with protective guarding removed.
