this practice, endangering attachments and the user.

IMPROPER CONNECTION OF ITEMS TO 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. Make sure that the sum total of electrical loads for all
attachments does not exceed the load rating of the generator.

RUNNING.

Gasoline and gasoline vapors can become ignited by coming in contact
with hot components such as the muffler, engine exhaust gases, or
from an electrical spark.

Turn engine off and allow it to cool before adding fuel to the tank. Equip
area of operation with a fire extinguisher certified to handle gasoline or
fuel fires.

electrocution. Use of undersize extension cords could result in
overheating of the wires or attached items, resulting in fire.
Use of ungrounded extension cords could prevent operation of circuit
breakers and result in electrical shock.

Inspect extension cords before use and replace with new cord if
required. Use proper size (wire gauge) extension cords for application
as shown below. Always use a extension cords having a grounding wire
with an appropriate grounding plug. DO NOT use an ungrounded plug.

An extension cord that is hot to the touch is overloaded. Repair or
replace damaged extension cords immediately.
