1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■ Our generators are designed to give safe and

dependable service if operated according to these

instructions.

Read and understand the owner's manual before

operating the generator. Failure to do so could result in

personal injury or equipment damage.

■Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide.

Never run the generator in an enclosed area.

Be sure to provide adequate ventilation.

The muffler becomes very hot during operation and

remains hot for several minutes after stopping the

engine.

Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot.

Let the engine cool before storing the generator indoors.

The engine exhaust system will be heated during

operation and remain hot immediately after stopping the

engine.

To prevent burns, pay attention to the warning marks

attached to the generator.

The generator must be operated outside with

adequate ventilation.

It cannot be operated in an enclosed compartment of any

vehicle or garage area.

- 5 -

To ensure safe operation:

■Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under

certain conditions. Refuel in a well ventilated area with

the engine stopped.

■Keep away from smoking materials, sparks and other

sources of combustion when refueling the generator.

Always refuel in a well-ventilated location.

■Wipe up spilled gasoline at once.

■Restrict use of the generator in high-hazard risk areas.

■Connections for standby power to a building's electrical

system must be made by a qualified electrician and must

comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.

Improper connections can allow electrical current from

the generator to back feed into the utility lines. Such

back feed may electrocute utility company workers or

others who contact the lines during a power outage, and

when utility power is restored, the generator may

explode, burn, or cause fires in the building's electrical

system. This generator is not designed to be connected

to an automatic transfer switch. Serious damage to the

engine and inverter module may result.

■ Always make a pre-operation inspection before you

start the engine.

■Place the generator at least three feet or one meter away

from buildings or other equipment during operation.

■Operate the generator on a level surface to prevent fuel

spillage or oil starvation.

■Know how to stop the generator quickly and understand

operation of all the controls. Never permit anyone to

operate the generator without proper instructions. Keep

children and pets away from the generator when it is in

operation.

- 6 -

■Never operate the generator with the door open or any

panels removed. Do not operate in any enclosure such

as an RV compartment.

■Keep away from rotating parts while the generator is

running.

■The generator is a potential source of electrical shocks

when misused; do not operate with wet hands.

■Do not operate the generator in rain or snow or let it get

wet.
