GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fi re and/or carbon monoxide poisoning,
which will cause death or serious injury.
WARNING
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
■ Do not operate the unit in explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
■ Keep the generator a minimum of 3 feet away from all
types of combustible material.
■ Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a
color¬less, odorless gas. Breathing exhaust can cause
loss of consciousness and can lead to death. If running
in a confined or partially-enclosed area, the air may
contain a dangerous amount of carbon monoxide. To
keep ex¬haust fumes from building up, always provide
adequate ventilation. Never start or run the engine inside a
closed or partially enclosed area.
■ Always use a battery-powered carbon monoxide detec¬tor
when running the generator. If you begin to feel sick, dizzy,
or weak while using the generator, shut it off and get to
fresh air immediately. See a doctor. You may have carbon
monoxide poisoning.
■ Operate outdoors in a well-ventilated, well-lit area isolated
from working areas to avoid noise interference.
■ Operating the generator in wet conditions could result in
electrocution. Keep the unit dry.
■ Do not connect to the electrical system of a building unless
the generator and transfer switch have been properly
installed and the electrical output has been verified by a
qualified electrician.
■ Do not use generator with electrical cords which are worn,
frayed, bare, or otherwise damaged.
■ Do not touch bare wire or receptacles.
■ Keep all parts of your body away from any moving parts
and all hot surfaces of the unit.
■ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating the unit. Do not use the unit while
you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating may
result in serious personal injury.
■ Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
■ Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. A fire
or explosion from gasoline will burn you and others.
Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add fuel
to a machine with a running or hot engine. Move at
least 30 ft. from the refueling site before starting the
engine. Do not smoke and stay away from open flames
and sparks. Failure to safely handle fuel could result in
serious personal injury.
■ Check for fuel leaks. A leaking fuel cap is a fire hazard
and must be replaced immediately. If you find any
leaks, correct the problem before using the product.
Failure to do so could result in a fire that could cause
serious personal injury.
■ Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under any
circum¬stances.
■ Do not remove the oil dipstick or the fuel tank cap when
the engine is running.
■ Operating voltage and frequency requirement of all
electronic equipment should be checked prior to plugging them into this generator. Damage may result if the
equipment is not designed to operate within a +/- 10%
voltage variation, and +/- 3 hz frequency variation from
the generator name plate ratings.
■ Do not overload the capacity of the generators.
Exceeding the generator’s wattage/amperage capacity
can damage the generator and/or electrical devices
connected to it.
■ The 12 V DC receptacle is designed to charge vented
wet lead acid batteries, not to jump start vehicles. Do
not overcharge battery or leave battery unattended.
Doing so may cause damage to the battery.
■ Do not attempt to operate the generator until assembly
is complete. Failure to comply could result in possible
serious personal injury.
■ Inspect the unit before each use for loose fasteners,
fuel leaks, etc. Replace damaged parts.
■ If any parts are damaged or missing do not operate this
product until the parts are replaced. Use of this product
with damaged or missing parts could result in serious
personal injury.
■ Do not attempt to modify this product or create
acces¬sories not recommended for use with this
product. Any such alteration or modification is misuse
and could result in a hazardous condition leading to
possible serious personal injury.
■ Generators vibrate in normal use. During and after the
use of the generator, inspect the generator as well as
extension cords and power supply cords connected to
it for damage resulting from vibration. Have damaged
items repaired or replaced as necessary.
Safety

■ Empty fuel tank, close fuel valve, and restrain the unit
from moving before transporting in a vehicle.
MAINTENANCE
■ Before storing the unit for an extended period of time,
allow the engine to cool and drain fuel from the unit.
■ Store the generator in a well-ventilated area with the
fuel tank empty. Fuel should not be stored near the
generator.
■ Have your product serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
INTENDED USE
■ This generator is designed to supply electrical power
for operating compatible electrical lighting, appliances,
tools, and motor loads.
■ Do not use this generator to provide power for
emergency medical equipment or life support devices.
■ Do not use the generator to jump start vehicles. Doing
so could result in damage to the vehicle or its electrical
components.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Recycle raw materials instead of disposing
of as waste. The machine, accessories
and packaging should be sorted for
environmental-friendly recycling.
SYMBOL
Indicates a potential personal injury
hazard.
To reduce the risk of injury, user must
read and understand operator’s manual
before using this product.
Do not expose to rain or use in damp
locations.
Failure to use in dry conditions and to
observe safe practices can result in
electric shock.
Running generator gives off carbon
monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison
gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can
cause nausea, fainting, or death.
Fuel and its vapors are extremely
fl ammable and explosive. Fire or
explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
To reduce the risk of injury or damage,
avoid contact with any hot surface.
To reduce the risk of serious injury, avoid
attempting to lift the generator alone.
Consult with local electrician to
determine grounding requirements
before operation.
Failure to properly ground generator can
result in electrocution, especially if the
generator is equipped with a wheel kit.
Waste electrical products should not
be disposed of with household waste.
Please recycle where facilities exist.
Check with your Local Authority or
retailer for recycling advice.
