an odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea,
fainting or death.
• Operate generator ONLY outdoors.
• Keep at least 2 feet of clearance on all sides of generator for
adequate ventilation.
• Do not operate generator inside any building or enclosure, including
the generator compartment of a recreational vehicle (RV).
Failure to properly ground generator can result
in electrocution, especially when the unit is
equipped with a wheel kit.

Electric Code requires this unit to be properly grounded to
an approved earth ground. Call an electrician for local
grounding requirements.
Generator produces powerful voltage.
Failure to isolate generator from power utility
can result in death or injury to electric utility
workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.
• When using generator for backup power, notify utility company.
• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in any damp or
highly conductive area, such as metal decking or steel work.
• In case of an accident caused by electrical 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.
