GUIDE TO PRODUCT SAFETY
This engine generator set has been designed and
manufactured to allow safe, reliable performance. Poor
maintenance, improper or careless use can result in
potential deadly hazards; from electrical shock, exhaust
gas asphyxiation, or fire. Please read all safety instructions
carefully before installation or use. Keep these instructions
handy for future reference. Take special note and follow all
warnings on the unit labels and in the manuals.
ANSI SAFETY DEFINITIONS
______________________________________________________
DANGER:
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. This
signal word is to be limited to the most extreme situations.
______________________________________________________
______________________________________________________
WARNING:
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
______________________________________________________
______________________________________________________
CAUTION:
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may
also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
______________________________________________________
NOTE:
CAUTION is also used on the unit labels and in this
manual to indicate a situation that could result in serious
damage or destruction of the equipment and possible
personal injury.
______________________________________________________
1.ELECTRIC SHOCK- The output voltage present in this
equipment can cause a fatal electric shock. This
equipment must be operated by a responsible person.
a. Do not allow anyone to operate the generator without
proper instruction.
b. Guard against electric shock.
c. Avoid contact with live terminals or receptacles.
d. Use extreme care if operating this unit in rain or snow.
e. Use only three-prong grounded plugs and extension
cords.
f. Be sure the unit is properly grounded to an external
ground rod driven into the earth.
2.FIRE HAZARD- Gasoline and other fuels always present a
hazard of possible explosion and/or fire.
a. Do not refuel when the engine is running or hot. Allow
the engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling.
b. Keep fuel containers out of reach of children.
c. Do not smoke or use open flame near the generator set
or fuel tank.
d. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and know its proper
use. Fire extinguishers rated ABC by NFPA are appropriate.
e. Store fuel only in an approved container, and only in a
well-ventilated area.
3.DEADLY EXHAUST GAS - Exhaust fumes from any
gasoline engine contain carbon monoxide, an invisible,
odorless and deadly gas that must be mixed with fresh
air.
a. Operate only in well ventilated areas.
b. Never operate indoors.
c. Never operate the unit in such a way as to allow
exhaust gases to seep back into closed rooms (i.e.
through windows, walls or floors).
4.NOISE HAZARD - Excessive noise is not only tiring, but
continual exposure can lead to loss of hearing.
a. Use hearing protection equipment when working
around this equipment for long periods of time.
b. Keep your neighbors in mind when permanently
installing this equipment.
5.CLEANLINESS- Keep the generator and surrounding
area clean.
a. Remove all grease, ice, snow or materials that create
slippery conditions around the unit.
b. Remove any rags or other material that could create
potential fire hazards.
c. Carefully wipe up any gas or oil spills before starting
the unit.
d. Never allow leaves or other flammable material to
build up around the engine exhaust area.
6.SERVICING EQUIPMENT- All service, including the
installation or replacement of service parts, should be
performed only by a qualified technician.
a. Use only factory approved repair parts.
b. Do not work on this equipment when fatigued.
c. Never remove the protective guards, cover, or
receptacle panels while the engine is running.
d. Use extreme caution when working on electrical
components. High output voltages from this equipment
can cause serious injury or death.
e. Always avoid hot mufflers, exhaust manifolds, and
engine parts. They all can cause severe burns instantly.
f. Installing a home-standby generator is not a “do-ityourself” project. Consult a qualified, licensed electrician
or contractor. The installation must comply with all
national, state, and local codes.
INTENDED USES
These engine generator sets have been designed primarily
for portable use. Both 120 and 240 volt AC receptacles
are provided in the 'control panel' to plug in your loads
(lights, portable tools, and small appliances). These
units are dual wound generators, therefore the 120 Volt
loads must be equally split with 1/2 of the rated capacity
available on each of the two 120 Volt circuits. See unit
capabilities for further explanation.
