SAFETY GUIDELINES / DEFINITIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Improper operation or maintenance of this product could result in serious
injury and property damage. Read and understand all warnings and
operating instructions before using.
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION AND FIRE
HAZARD
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Attempting to
connect generator
directly to the
electrical system
of any building
structure.
Back feeding electricity through
a building’s electrical system to
the outside utility feed lines
could endanger repair persons
attempting to restore service.
Never backfeed electricity
through a structure's electrical
system.
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 an isolator switch is not
installed.
Failure to use a double throw
transfer switch when connecting
to a structure's electrical system
can damage appliances and
WILL VOID the manufacturer's
warranty.
To connect to a structure's electrical system in a safe manner,
always have a Double-Throw
Transfer Switch installed by a
qualified electrician and in compliance with local ordinances.
(When installing a DoubleThrow Transfer Switch, a minimum of 10 gauge wiring must
be used.)

Operation of unit
when damaged,
or with guards or
panels removed.
Removal of guarding could
expose electrically charged
components and result in
electrocution.
Do not operate generator with
protective guarding removed.
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.
Attempting to use the unit
when it has been damaged, or
when it is not functioning
normally could result in fire or
electrocution.
Read the load rating chart and
instructions in the Wattage Calculation section. 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.
Operation of
generator in rain,
wet, icy, or
flooded
conditions.
Water is an excellent conductor
of electricity! Water which comes
in contact with electrically
charged components can
transmit electricity to the frame
and other surfaces, resulting in
electrical shock to anyone contacting them.
Operate generator in a clean, dry,
well ventilated area. Make sure
hands are dry before touching
unit.
Use of worn,
damaged, undersized or ungrounded extension cords.
Use of ungrounded cordsets
could prevent operation of
circuit breakers and result in
electrical shock.
Always use a cordset having a
grounding wire with an
appropriate grounding plug. DO
NOT use an ungrounded plug.
Use proper size (wire gauge)
cordset for application see chart
in the Assembly section of this
manual.
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.
Inspect extension cords before
use and replace with new cord if
required.
Placing generator
on or against
highly conductive
surface, such as a
steel walkway or
metal roof.
Place generator on low conductivity surface such as a concrete
slab.
Accidental leakage of electrical
current could charge conductive
surfaces in contact with the
generator.
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION AND FIRE
(Continued)
HAZARD
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
ALWAYS operate generator a
minimum of six feet from any
conductive surface.

RISK OF FIRE
HAZARD
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Improper storage
of fuel
Improperly stored fuel could
lead to accidental ignition. Fuel
improperly secured could get
into the hands of children or
other unqualified persons.
Store fuel in a OSHA approved
container designed to hold
gasoline. Store container in secure location to prevent use by
others.
Attempting to
fill the fuel tank
while the engine
is 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.
Cigarettes, sparks, fires, or
other hot objects can cause
gasoline or gasoline vapors to
ignite.
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.
Add fuel to tank in well
ventilated area. Make sure there
are no sources of ignition near
the generator.
Operate generator in a clean, dry,
well ventilated area a minimum of
four feet from any building, object
or wall. DO NOT OPERATE
UNIT INDOORS OR IN ANY
CONFINED AREA.
Materials placed against or near
the generator or operating the
generator in areas where the
temperature exceeds 104° F. ambient (such as storage rooms or
garages) can interfere with its
proper ventilation features causing overheating and possible ignition of the materials or buildings.
Sparks, fire, hot
objects
Inadequate
ventilation for
generator
Tampering with
factory set
engine speed
settings.
Engine speed has been factory
set to provide safe operation.
Tampering with the engine speed
adjustment could result in
overheating of attachments and
could cause a fire.
Spilled fuel and its vapors can
become ignited from hot
surfaces or sparks.
Never attempt to “speed-up”
the engine to obtain more performance. Both the output
voltage and frequency will be
thrown out of standard by this
practice, endangering
attachments and the user.
Use care in filling the tank to
avoid spilling fuel. Make sure
fuel cap is secured tightly and
check engine for fuel leaks
before starting engine. Move
generator away from refueling
area or any spillage before
starting engine. Allow for fuel
expansion. Keep maximum fuel
level ¼ inch below the tip of the
fuel tank. Never refuel with the
engine running.
Overfilling the fuel
tank – fuel
spillage.

HAZARD
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Improper raising or suspending
can cause damage to the
generator.
Always use cables, chains, or
straps rated at 2000 lbs working
load or more to raise or suspend
generator.
Operation of
voltage
sensitive appliances without a
voltage surge
protector
Any gasoline operated
household generator will incur
voltage variations causing
damage to voltage sensitive appliances or could result in fire.
Always use a U.L. listed voltage
sensitive surge protector to
connect voltage sensitive
appliances (TV, computer, stereo, etc.). Failure to use a U.L.
listed voltage surge protector
will void the warranty on your
generator.
Notice: A multiple outlet strip is
not a surge protector. Make sure
you use a U.L. listed voltage
surge protector

serious injury or death to you or
others.
Always use proper connecting
procedures as described in this
manual when connecting cables,
chains, or straps for raising or
suspending generators equipped
with lift rings.
Operating
generator while
suspended
Generator will not operate
properly and will cause damage
to the generator and could
cause serious injury or death to
you or others.
Never operate generator while
suspended or in an unlevel
position. Always operate
generate on a flat, level surface.
Contact with hot surfaces, such
as engines exhaust components,
could result in serious burns.
RISK OF HOT SURFACES
HAZARD
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Contact with hot
engine and
generator
components.

RISK OF MOVING PARTS
Never operate generator with
guarding or cover plates
removed. Avoid wearing loose
fitting clothing or jewelry which
could be caught by moving parts.
