iMPORTANT SAFETy iNSTRUCTiONS
DANGER:
Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors WILL KILL
YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon mon-
oxide (CO), a poisonous 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 partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels
of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Us-
ing a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT
supply enough fresh air.
ONLY use a generator outdoors and far away from
open windows, doors, and vents. These openings
can pull in generator exhaust.
Even when 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 could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNiNG:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electrocution,
fire, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning, which will cause
death or serious injury.
WARNiNG:
National Electric Code requires generator to be grounded
to an approved earth ground. Before using the ground
terminal, consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspec-
tor, or local agency having jurisdiction for local codes
or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the
generator.
SAVE THESE iNSTRUCTiONS
This manual contains important instructions that should be
followed during installation and maintenance of the genera-
tor and batteries.
Do not allow children or untrained individuals to use this
unit.
Never start or run the engine inside a closed or partially
enclosed area. Breathing exhaust fumes will kill you.
Wear eye protection which is marked to comply with ANSI
Z87.1 as well as hearing protection when operating this
equipment.
Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 10 feet
away.
Wear sturdy and dry shoes or boots. Do not operate while
barefoot.
Do not operate generator when you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
Keep all parts of your body away from any moving parts
and all hot surfaces of the unit.
Do not touch bare wire or receptacles.
Do not use generator with electrical cords which are
worn, frayed, bare, or otherwise damaged.
Before storing, allow the engine to cool and drain fuel
from the unit.
Do not operate or store the generator in rain, snow, or
wet weather.
Store the generator in a well-ventilated area with the
fuel tank empty. Fuel should not be stored near the
generator.
Empty fuel tank, close fuel valve, and restrain the unit
from moving before transporting in a vehicle.
Allow engine to cool for five minutes before refueling.
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, handle fuel with
care. It is highly flammable.
Do not smoke while handling fuel.
Store fuel in a container approved for gasoline.
Position the unit on level ground, stop engine, and allow
to cool before refueling.
Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep
fuel from escaping around the cap.
Tighten the fuel cap securely after refueling.
Wipe spilled fuel from the unit.
Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under any circum-
stances.
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 necessary. 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 stationary gen-
erators are better suited for providing back-up power to
the home. Even a properly connected portable generator
can become overloaded. This may result in overheating
or stressing the generator components, possibly leading
to generator failure.
Use only authorized replacement parts and accessories
and follow instructions in the section of this manual. Use
of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance
instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
