DANGER
Running generator gives off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea, fainting, or death.
●Operate generator ONLY outdoors.
●Keep clearance on all sides of generator for adequate ventilation.
●DO NOT operate generator inside any building or enclosure, including the generator compartment of a recreational vehicle (RV).
DANGER
Failure to properly ground generator can result in electrocution, especially if the generator is equipped with a wheel kit.
● National Electric Code requires generator to be properly grounded to an approved earth ground. Call an electrician for local grounding requirements.
DANGER
Generator produces powerful voltage.
Failure to isolate generator from power utility can result in death or injury to electric utility workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.
● When using generator for backup power, notify utility company. Use approved transfer equipment to isolate generator from electric utility.
●Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in any damp or highly conductive area, such as metal decking or steel work.
●DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles.
●DO NOT use generator with electrical cords which are worn, frayed, bare, or otherwise damaged.
●DO NOT operate generator in the rain or other forms of precipitation.
●DO NOT handle generator or electrical cords while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.
●DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to operate or service generator.
WARNING
●This generator does not meet U. S. Coast Guard Regulation 33CFR-183 and should not be used on marine applications.
●Failure to use the appropriate U. S. Coast Guard approved generator could result in bodily injury and/or property
damage.
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
WHEN ADDING FUEL:
●Turn generator OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing gas cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.
●Fill fuel tank outdoors.
●DO NOT overfill tank.Allow space for fuel expansion.
●Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.
●DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT:
●DO NOT tip engine or equipment at angle which causes fuel to spill.
●This generator is not for use in mobile equipment or marine applications.
WHEN TRANSPORTING OR REPAIRING EQUIPMENT:
●Transport/repair with fuel tank EMPTY or with fuel shutoff valve in the OFF position.
●Disconnect spark plug wire.
WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK:
● Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers, or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition source because they can ignite fuel vapors.

SAFETY RULES
WARNING
Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.
WHEN ADJUSTING OR MAKING REPAIRS TO YOUR GENERATOR
● Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and place the wire where it cannot contact spark plug.
WARNING
Running engines produce heat.Temperature of muffler and nearby areas can reach or exceed
150°F (65°C).
Severe burns can occur on contact.
●DO NOT touch hot surfaces.
●Allow equipment to cool before touching.
CAUTION
Excessively high operating speeds increase risk of injury and damage to generator.
Excessively low speeds impose a heavy load.
● DO NOT tamper with governed speed. Generator supplies correct rated frequency and voltage when running at governed speed.
● DO NOT modify generator in any way.
CAUTION
Exceeding generator’s wattage/amperage capacity can
damage generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.
●See “Don’t Overload Generator” on page 17.
●Start generator and let engine stabilize before connecting electrical loads.
●Connect electrical loads in OFF position, then turn ON for operation.
●Turn electrical loads OFF and disconnect from generator before stopping generator.
CAUTION
Improper treatment of generator can damage it and shorten its life.
●Use generator only for intended uses.
●If you have questions about intended use, ask your dealer Or contact customer service at 1-800-849-1297
●Operate generator only on level surfaces.
●DO NOT expose generator to excessive moisture, dust, dirt, or corrosive vapors.
●DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots.
●If connected devices overheat, turn them off and disconnect them from generator.
●Shut off generator if:
-electrical output is lost;
-equipment sparks, smokes, or emits flames; -unit vibrates excessively.
