Electric Shock Hazards

WARNING
Generators produce powerful voltage that can cause
death or great physical harm.
• NEVER touch bare wires or receptacles.
• NEVER use generator with electrical cords that are
worn, frayed, bare, or otherwise damaged.
• NEVER operate generator in rain or snow, or when
the generator is set on wet surface.
• Keep the generator out of reach of children, pets,
and untrained people.
WARNING
When this generator is used to supply a building wir-
ing system the:
• Generator must be installed by a qualified electri-
cian and connected to transfer equipment as a
separately derived system in accordance with the
National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.
• Generator shall be connected through transfer
equipment that switches all conductors other than
the equipment grounding conductor.
• Frame of the generator shall be connected to an
approved grounding electrode.
Fire and Burn Hazards
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive under certain conditions.
• Refuel generator only outdoors, in a well-ventilated
area.
• NEVER enclose the generator in any structure.
• Keep generator at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from
buildings, other equipment, and combustible mate-
rials during operation.
• NEVER fill fuel tank while the engine is running.
Turn generator OFF and allow to cool before filling
with fuel.
• NEVER smoke or allow flames or sparks near the
generator or where gasoline is stored.
• NEVER overfill the fuel tank (there should be no
fuel in the filler neck). After refueling, make sure the
tank cap is closed properly and securely.
• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled
fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, be
sure the area is dry before starting the engine.
• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or
breathing of vapor.

Generator Damage Hazards
NOTICE
Improper treatment or misuse of generator can cause per-
manent damage.
• NEVER modify generator in any way.
• NEVER tamper with governed speed. Generator sup-
plies correct rated frequency and voltage when run-
ning at governed speed.
• Damage to generator caused by misuse or modifi-
cation is not covered under warranty.
• Generators vibrate in normal use. During and after
the use of the generator, inspect the generator as
well as extension cords and power supply cords
connected to it for damage resulting from vibration.
Have damaged items repaired or replaced as nec-
essary. Do not use plugs or cords that show signs
of damage such as broken or cracked insulation or
damaged blades.
• For power outages, permanently installed station-
ary generators are better suited for providing
backup power to the home. Even a properly con-
nected portable generator can become overloaded.
This may result in overheating or stressing the gen-
erator components, possible leading to a generator
failure.
• This portable generator is not for use with gasoline
/ ethanol blends with over 15% ethanol.
