EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM INFORMATION
The U.S. and California Clean Air Acts
EPA and California regulations require all manufacturers to furnish
written instructions describing the operation and maintenance of emission control systems. The following instructions and procedures must
be followed in order to keep the emissions from your STANLEY engine
within the emission standards. Maintenance, replacement, or repair of
the emission control devices and systems may be performed by any
engine repair establishment or individual, using parts that are
‘‘certified’’ to EPA standards.
SAFETY LABEL LOCATIONS
These labels warn you of potential hazards that can cause serious
injury. Read them carefully. If a label comes off or becomes hard to
read, contact your STANLEY generator dealer for a replacement.
SAFETY INFORMATION
STANLEY generators are designed to give safe and dependable
service if operated according to instructions. Read and understand this owner’s manual before operating your generator.
OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITY
Know how to stop the generator quickly in case of emergency. Understand the use of all generator controls, output receptacles, and connections. Be sure that anyone who operates the generator receives
proper instruction. Do not let children operate the generator.
WARNING
The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
DANGER
CARBON MONOXIDE GAS
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless and
odorless gas. Breathing exhaust can cause loss of consciousness
and may lead to death. To keep exhaust gas from accumulating,
use in an area with adequate ventilation. DO NOT use this generator in a garage, basement, crawlspace, enclosed shed, or any
other area that does not have adequate ventilation. DO NOT use
this generator near ventilation ducts or open windows that may
allow exhaust
gasses to enter your home or business. ONLY
operate this generator outdoors.
DANGER
Fire and Burn Hazards
The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials.
Keep the generator at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from buildings
and other equipment during operation.
Do not enclose the generator in any structure.
Do not smoke when refueling.
Keep flammable materials away from the generator.
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for
a while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot.
Let the engine cool before storing the generator indoors.
Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped.
Fuel vapors are extremely flammable and may ignite after the en-
gine has started. Make sure that any spilled fuel has been wiped
up before starting
the generator.
DANGER
Electocution hazard - Electricity can cause DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY.
Do not operate the generator when moisture is present.
This product is not safe to operate in the presence of water or
near water.
Properly ground the generator and verify ground is in place
before each use. Grounding regulations vary by location, consult a qualified local electrician for proper grounding instructions.
Power cords and electrical equipment pose a risk of shock and
electrocution, especially if they are operated in wet conditions.
Inspect all equipment prior to every use and use only as directed by the manufacturer.
Use a cord with GFCI protection when using the power out-
doors or when moisture is present.
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. Do not use plugs or cords that show signs of damage such as broken or cracked insulation or damaged blades.
NEVER START OR STOP THE ENGINE WITH DEVICES CONNECTED TO THE GENERATOR.

WARNING
Do not connect this generator to a building electrical system.
Improper connections to a building electrical system can allow
electrical current from the generator to backfeed into the utility
lines. Such backfeed may electrocute utility company workers or
others who contact the lines during a power outage, and the generator may explode, burn, or cause fires when utility power is restored.
Ground System
STANLEY portable generators have a system ground that connects generator frame components to the ground terminals in the AC output receptacles. The system ground is connected to the AC neutral wire.
Special Requirements
There may be Federal or State Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, local codes, or ordinances that apply to the
intended use of the generator. Please consult a qualified electrician,
electrical inspector, or the local agency having jurisdiction.
This generator does not meet US Coast Guard regulation 33 CFR-183
