Safety Warning

Please read this manual to understand how to
use your unit as well as understanding the risk
the come with the unit.

NOTICE exceeding your generator wattage/

amperage coverage capacity can damage your
unit as well as any devices attached to your unit.

Consumers should notice that this manual might
differ slightly from the actual product as more
improvements are made to our products. Some
of the pictures in this manual may differ slightly
from the actual product as well. Eastern Tools
and Equipment, Inc. reserves the right to make
changes at any time without notice and without

CARBON MONOXIDE WARNING

Operate the generator ONLY outdoors. Never
run the generator indoors as the engine gives
off poisonous carbon monoxide, an odorless and
colorless gas. Inhaling carbon monoxide will
cause nausea, fainting or death. Also, keep the
generator at least 3 feet away from flammable
matter for adequate ventilation

GROUNDING THE UNIT

Always properly ground the generator. Failing to
do so can result in electrocution, particularly if
the generator is equipped with a wheel kit.

ELECTRIC SHOCK AND SHORT CIRCUIT

Be sure to notify the utility company
when using the generator for backup

power. Use approved transfer
equipment to isolate the generator from electric
utility. In highly conductive area such as metal
decking or steel work, use a ground circuit fault
interrupter. Never touch the generator if the
generator is wet. Also, never touch the
generator if your hand is wet. Never operate
your generator if the weather conditions call for
any type of precipitation such as rain, snow, or
fog.

Do not use electrical cords that have been
damaged (worn, bare, frayed)

Do not touch bare receptacles or wires

Do not allow children to operate the generator.

FUEL SAFETY

When using the LPG generator, please be sure
that there is some distance between LGP tank
and the LPG generator, to prevent unnecessary
danger because of the high temperature surface
area of the LPG tank. When using the unit,
please check the surface temperature of the
LPG tank.

Place the generator in a well-ventilated area. DO
NOT place the generator near vents or intakes
where exhaust fumes could be drawn into
occupied or confined spaces. Carefully consider
wind and air currents when positioning
generator. Please do not light a cigarette near
the LPG generator.

GENERATOR SAFETY

Do not start generator with electrical devices
connected to it. Start the generator first and
after the speed of the generator stabilizes,
electrical loads can be applied to it.

When connecting electrical loads, make sure the
devices are "OFF" first before connecting them.

4

Keep the same concept when disconnecting
electrical devices; make sure all devices are in
the "OFF" position before disconnecting.

Operate the generator on level surfaces only.
Inclined surfaces reduce the effective lubrication
of the engine.

Do not expose the generator to excessive
moisture, dust, dirt, or corrosive vapors.

NOTICE poor treatment of your equipment

can greatly reduce the life of the LPG generator.
Use the generator for its intended usage. If you
have any concerns about maintain your unit
contact a local service center or called customer
service (888)-696-2345. Operate the LPG
generator on a level surface and do not place
objects in the units recoil slots.
