California Proposition 65 WARNING: This product contains chemicals and produces exhaust
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.
WARNING: If this generator is used as a supply for a BUILDING’S WIRING SYSTEM, the generator
MUST be installed by a qualified electrician and connected to a transfer switch as a separately derived
system in accordance with all applicable laws and electrical codes and the National Electrical Code,
NFPA 70. The generator shall be connected to a transfer switch that switches all conductors exclud-
ing the equipment grounding conductor. The frame of the generator shall be connected to an approved
grounding electrode.
WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSION. HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: This generator may emit highly flam-
mable and explosive gasoline vapors, which can cause severe burns or even death, if ignited. A nearby
open flame can lead to explosion even if not directly in contact with gasoline.
• Do not operate near open flame, heat, or any other ignition source. Do not smoke near generator.
• Always operate on a firm, level surface.
• Always turn generator off before refueling. Allow generator to cool for at least 2 minutes before re-
moving fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.
• Do not overfill fuel tank. Gasoline may expand during operation. Do not fill to the top of the tank. Allow
for expansion. Always check for spilled fuel before operating.
• If fuel spills, move the generator at least 30 feet away from the spill and wipe clean any spilled fuel
before starting the engine.
• Empty fuel tank before storing or transporting the generator.
GENERATOR SAFETY WARNINGS
DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE
Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monox-
ide (CO). This is a poison gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are
breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.
NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawl spaces, or other partially enclosed areas. Deadly
levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors does
NOT supply enough fresh air. ONLY use a generator OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors, and
vents. These openings can pull in generator exhaust.
Even if you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or
battery-backup CO alarm in the home. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has
been running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.

GENERATOR SAFETY WARNINGS
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
1. Using a generator indoors can kill you in minutes. Only use a generator OUTSIDE and far away from win-
dows, doors and vents.
2. Do not smoke near the generator.
3. Do not operate near open flame, heat, or flammable materials. This generator may emit highly flammable
and explosive gasoline vapors, which can cause severe burns or even death if ignited. A nearby open flame
can lead to an explosion even if it isn’t directly in contact with gasoline.
4. Do not expose the generator to rainy or wet conditions; doing so significantly increases the risk of electri-
cal shock. Never handle the generator, electronic devices, or any cord while standing in water, while bare-
foot, or when hands or feet are wet.
5. Always operate the generator on a dry, firm, level surface.
6. The generator should have at least 5 feet of clearance from buildings or other equipment during opera-
tion.
7. Do not allow children or non-qualified persons to operate the generator.
GENERATOR PREPARATION
1. Always ground the generator before using it to maximize safety (see “GROUND THE GENERATOR” section.
2. Do not overfill fuel tank, as gasoline may expand during operation. Do not fill to the very top of the tank.
Leave room for gasoline expansion. Always check for spilled fuel before operating.
3. If any part of the generator, electrical device or power cord is broken, damaged, or defective, make sure
it is repaired or replaced before operation. Service should only be performed by a qualified technician. Do
not use receptacles or cords that show signs of damage, such as broken or cracked insulation.
4. Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in highly conductive areas such as metal decking or steel
work. Extension cords with in-line GFCIs are recommended for these operations to maximize safety.
5. If connecting the generator to a building’s electrical system for standby power, you MUST consult a quali-
fied electrician and install a transfer switch. Such connections must comply with local electrical laws and
codes. Failure to comply can create a back-feed, which may result in serious injury or death to utility workers.
6. Never modify the generator in any way. Modifying or using the machine for any other purpose for which it
is not designed may result in serious injuries, machine damage and voiding of the warranty.
WARNING: Do not let comfort or familiarity with the product replace strict adherence to product
safety rules. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.

GENERATOR OPERATION
1. Only use the generator for its intended purposes. Modifying or using the generator for operations for
which it was not designed may cause hazards and personal injury.
2. Do not touch bare wires or receptacles (outlets).
3. Do not exceed the wattage capacity of the generator by plugging in more electrical devices than the unit
can handle. This could damage the generator and/or connected electrical devices. Check the operating volt-
age and frequency requirements of all electrical devices prior to plugging them into the generator.
4. Allow generator to run for several minutes before connecting electrical devices. Do not start or stop en-
gine with electrical devices plugged in to the receptacles. Failure to do so could damage the generator and /
or connected electrical devices.
5. Do not turn ON electrical devices until after they are connected to the generator.
6. Generators vibrate in normal use. During and after the use of the generator, inspect both the generator as
well as extension and power supply cords for damage resulting from vibration.
7. Do not touch HOT PARTS. This generator produces heat when running. Temperatures near exhaust can
exceed 150º F (65º C). Allow generator to cool down after use before touching engine or areas of the gen-
erator that become hot during use.
8. Turn off all connected electrical devices before stopping the generator.
9. Always turn generator off before refueling. Allow generator to cool for at least 2 minutes before removing
fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.
10. Turn the engine switch to “OFF” position when the engine is not running.
11. Empty fuel tank before storing or transporting the generator. Do not store generator or gasoline near
furnaces, water heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or have automatic ignitions. Store the
generator and fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition.
12. Always wash hands after handling generator.
CAUTION: Misuse of this generator can damage it or shorten its lifespan.
TO MAXIMIZE THE LIFESPAN OF YOUR GENERATOR:
We recommend running your generator at least once a month for 20 to 30 minutes. Start the generator
according to the instructions and plug a small load in to make sure the outlet is producing electricity.
If you do not run it often, it will greatly shorten the generator’s lifespan and void the warranty.
Place the generator packaging on a sturdy, flat surface. Carefully unpack the generator and all accessories
from the box, making sure it is completely empty before discarding the package.
