SafeTy WaRnInG WHen RefuelInG
Gasoline is extremely flammable and its vapors can explode if ignited.
Observe all safety regulations for the safe handling of fuel. Handle
fuel in safety containers. If the container does not have a spout, use a
funnel.
Do not overfill the fuel tank, leave room for the fuel to expand.
Do not refill fuel tank while the engine is running. Before refueling
the generator, turn it off and let it cool down. Gasoline spilled on hot
engine parts could ignite.
Fill the tank only on an area of bare ground. While fueling the tank,
keep heat, sparks and open flame away. Carefully clean up any spilled
fuel before starting engine.
Always fill fuel tank in an area with plenty of ventilation to avoid
inhaling dangerous fumes.
NEvER store fuel for your generator in the home. Gasoline, propane,
kerosene, and other flammable liquids should be stored outside of living
areas in properly-labeled, non-glass safety containers. Do not store
them near a fuel-burning appliance, such as a natural gas water heater
in a garage. If the fuel is spilled or the container is not sealed properly,
invisible vapors from the fuel can travel along the ground and can be
ignited by the appliance's pilot light or by arcs from electric switches in
the appliance.

PROTeCTIOn
These generators are equipped with three GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupters) 120v duplex receptacles for protection against the hazards
of electrical shock from defective attachments such as, tools, cords,
and cables.
WaRnInG: The GfCIs may not function unless the generator
is properly grounded. follow the correct procedure
s p e c i f i e d i n t h e s e c t i o n l a b e l e d " G R O u n d I n G
InSTRuCTIOnS"
A GFCI is a device that interrupts electricity from either the utility or
generator by means of a special type of circuit breaker if a fault current
flow to the ground occurs.
WaRnInG: Only the 120V duplex Receptacles are protected
by the GfCI.
A GFCI can be used only with generators that have the neutral wire
internally bonded to the frame, and the frame properly grounded to the
earth. A GFCI will not work on generators that do not have the neutral
wire bonded to the frame, or on generators which have not been properly
grounded. All Mi-T-M generators have internally bonded ground wires.
A GFCI will not work if the unit is not properly grounded.
A GFCI may be required by OSHA regulations, the National Electric Code
and/or local and federal codes when operating a generator.
For additional protections against shock hazards due to defective
equipment attached to the twist-lock receptacles, consider the use of a
GFCI on each of these receptacles as well.
GFCIs and GFCI protected cord sets and cables may be purchased
from local electrical supply houses.
