GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
1.Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
2.Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the pres-ence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Generators create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
3.Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a generator.
Provide barriers or shields as needed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
4.Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding
prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check
with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, ground-
ing provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
5.Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in
any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded
power cord and grounded power supply system.
SKU 92455 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.Page 3
Page 4
6.Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges,and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
7.
8.Do not abuse the Power Cords. Never use a Power Cord to carry tools or
pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep Power Cords away from heat, oil, sharp
edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Dam-
aged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
9.When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cordmarked “W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
10.Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operat-
ing a generator. Do not use a generator while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating genera-
tors may result in serious personal injury.
11.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
generator will increase the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
12.Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the Power Switch is in its “OFF” posi-
tion, and disconnect the Spark Plug Wire when not in use.
13.Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the generator on. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the generator may result in
personal injury.
14.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
15.Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Wear ANSI approved
safety impact eye goggles. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
16.Do not force the generator. Use the correct generator for your application.
The correct generator will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.

be replaced.
GENERATOR USE AND CARE
18.Make sure the Power Switch is in its “OFF” position and disconnect the
spark plug wire before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the generator. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the generator accidentally.
19.Store idle generators out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Generators are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
20.Maintain generators with care. Do not use a damaged generator. Tag damaged
generators “Do not use” until repaired.
21.Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the generator’s operation. If damaged,
have the generator serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained generators.
22.Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for yourmodel. Accessories that may be suitable for one generator may become hazardous when used on another generator.
SERVICE
23.Maintain labels and nameplates on the Generator and Engine. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a
replacement.
24.Generator service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk
of injury.

Harbor Freight Tools Co. makes every effort to assure that its products meet high quality and durability
standards, and warrants to the original purchaser that this product is free from defects in materials and
workmanship for the period of one year from the date of purchase (90 days if used by a professional
contractor or if used as rental equipment). This warranty does not apply to damage due directly or
indirectly, to misuse, abuse, negligence or accidents, repairs or alterations outside our facilities, or to lack
of maintenance. We shall in no event be liable for death, injuries to persons or property, or for incidental,
contingent, special or consequential damages arising from the use of our product. Some states do not
allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation of exclusion
may not apply to you.
To take advantage of this warranty, the product or part must be returned to us with transportation charges
prepaid. Proof of purchase date and an explanation of the complaint must accompany the merchandise.
If our inspection verifies the defect, we will either repair or replace the product at our election or we may
elect to refund the purchase price if we cannot readily and quickly provide you with a replacement. We
will return repaired products at our expense, but if we determine there is no defect, or that the defect
resulted from causes not within the scope of our warranty, then you must bear the cost of returning the
product.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to
state.

Where a warrantable condition exists, HFT will repair your engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
