SAFE OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

Before operating the generator for the first time, review chapters
GENERATOR SAFETY (see page 6) and BEFORE OPERATION (see page
19).
For your safety, do not operate the generator in an enclosed area such
as a garage. Your generator's exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide gas that can collect rapidly in an enclosed area and cause
illness or death.
Before connecting an AC appliance or power cord to the generator:
• Use grounded 3 prong extension cords, tools, and appliances, or
double insulated tools and appliances.
• Inspect cords and plugs, and replace if damaged.
• Make sure that the appliance is in good working order. Faulty
appliances or power cords can create a potential for electric shock.
• Make sure the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not
exceed the rated power of the generator or the receptacle being
used.
• Operate the generator at least 1 meter away from buildings and other
equipment.
• Do not operate the generator in an enclosed structure.
• Do not place flammable objects close to the engine.
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide gas that can build up to
dangerous levels in closed areas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can
cause unconsciousness or death.
Never run the generator in a closed,
or even partly closed area where
people may be present.
