Introduction

GENERAL HAZARDS

• NEVER operate in an enclosed area, in a vehicle, or indoors

EVEN IF doors and windows are open.

• For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends that the

maintenance of this equipment is carried out by an Authorized

Dealer. Inspect the generator regularly, and contact the nearest

Authorized Dealer for parts needing repair or replacement.

• Operate generator only on level surfaces and where it will not be

exposed to excessive moisture, dirt, dust or corrosive vapors.

• Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from fans and other

moving parts. Never remove any fan guard or shield while the

unit is operating.

• Certain parts of the generator get extremely hot during

operation. Keep clear of the generator until it has cooled to

avoid severe burns.

• Do NOT operate generator in the rain.

• Do not alter the construction of the generator or change

controls which might create an unsafe operating condition.

• Never start or stop the unit with electrical loads connected

to receptacles AND with connected devices turned ON. Start

the engine and let it stabilize before connecting electrical

loads. Disconnect all electrical loads before shutting down the

generator.

• Do not insert objects through unit’s cooling slots.

• When working on this equipment, remain alert at all times.

Never work on the equipment when physically or mentally

fatigued.

• Lifting Warning Hazard: A falling generator can result in death,

bodily injury, and/or property damage. Stand clear of generator.

Lift is designed to carry only the weight of the generator. DO

NOT overload lifting bracket. Apply lifting strap or hook through

lift bar hole(s) only. DO NOT lift while generator is running.

• Never use the generator or any of its parts as a step. Stepping

on the unit can stress and break parts, and may result in

dangerous operating conditions from leaking exhaust gases,

fuel leakage, oil leakage, etc.

• On electric start models, disconnect the POSITIVE (+) battery

cable from the engine starter OR the NEGATIVE (-) battery

cable from the battery terminal, whichever is easier, before

transporting the generator.

•

EXHAUST & LOCATION HAZARDS

• Never operate in an enclosed area or indoors! NEVER use in

the home, in a vehicle, or in partly enclosed areas such as

garages, EVEN IF doors and windows are open! ONLY use

outdoors and far from open windows, doors, vents, and in an

area that will not accumulate deadly exhaust.

• The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which

you cannot see or smell. This poisonous gas, if breathed in

sufficient concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or even

death.

• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilating air

is critical to correct generator operation. Do not alter the

installation or permit even partial blockage of ventilation

provisions, as this can seriously affect safe operation of the

generator. The generator MUST be operated outdoors.

• This exhaust system must be properly maintained. Do nothing

that might render the exhaust system unsafe or in noncompliance

with any local codes and/or standards.

• Always use a battery operated carbon monoxide alarm indoors,

installed according to the manufacturer's instructions.

• If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has

been running, move to fresh air IMMEDIATELY. See a doctor, as

you could have carbon monoxide poisoning.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

• The generator produces dangerously high voltage when in

operation. Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals, connections,

etc., while the unit is running, even on equipment connected

to the generator. Ensure all appropriate covers, guards and

barriers are in place before operating the generator.

• Never handle any kind of electrical cord or device while

standing in water, while barefoot or while hands or feet are wet.

DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY RESULT.

Safety Rules

• The National Electric Code (NEC) requires the frame and external

electrically conductive parts of the generator be properly

connected to an approved earth ground. Local electrical codes

may also require proper grounding of the generator. Consult

with a local electrician for grounding requirements in the area.

• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter in any damp or highly

conductive area (such as metal decking or steel work).

• Do not use worn, bare, frayed or otherwise damaged electrical

cord sets with the generator.

• Before performing any maintenance on the generator, disconnect

the engine starting battery (if equipped) to prevent accidental

start up. Disconnect the cable from the battery post indicated

by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (–) first. Reconnect that cable last.

• In case of accident caused by electric shock, immediately shut

down the source of electrical power. If this is not possible,

attempt to free the victim from the live conductor. AVOID

DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a non-conducting

implement, such as a rope or board, to free the victim from the

live conductor. If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid and

get immediate medical help.

FIRE HAZARDS

• Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors are EXPLOSIVE.

NEVER permit smoking, open flames, sparks or heat in the

vicinity while handling gasoline.

• Never add fuel while unit is running or hot. Allow engine to cool

completely before adding fuel.

• Never fill fuel tank indoors. Comply with all laws regulating

storage and handling of gasoline.

• Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always allow room for fuel

expansion. If tank is over-filled, fuel can overflow onto a hot

engine and cause FIRE or an EXPLOSION. Never store generator

with fuel in tank where gasoline vapors might reach an open

flame, spark or pilot light (as on a furnace, water heater or

clothes dryer). FIRE or EXPLOSION may result. Allow unit to

cool entirely before storage.

• Wipe up any fuel or oil spills immediately. Ensure that no

combustible materials are left on or near the generator. Keep the

area surrounding the generator clean and free from debris and

keep a clearance of five (5) feet on all side to allow for proper

ventilation of the generator.

• Do not insert objects through unit’s cooling slots.

• NEVER operate the generator if connected electrical devices

overheat, if electrical output is lost, if engine or generator sparks

or if flames or smoke are observed while unit is running.

• Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator at all times.

• Do not operate in a hazardous location where there may be a

risk of explosion of petrol fumes, leaking fuel or explosive dusts.
