and instructions.
Know your equipment. Consider the applications,
limitations, and the potential hazards specific to your
unit.
Equipment must be placed on a firm, supporting sur-
face.
Load must be kept within rating stated on genera-
tor nameplate. Overloading will damage the unit or
shorten its life.
Engine must not be run at excessive speeds. Oper-
ating an engine at excessive speeds increases the
hazard of personal injury.
Do not tamper with parts which may increase or
decrease the governed speed.
To prevent accidental starting, always remove the
spark plug or cable from the spark plug before main-
taining the generator or engine.
Units with broken or missing parts, or without pro-
tective housing or covers, should never be operated.
Contact your service center for replacement parts.
Units should not be operated or stored in wet or
damp conditions or on highly conductive locations
such as metal decking and steel work.
Keep the generator clean and free of oil, mud and
other foreign matter.
Extension cords, power cords, and all electrical
equipment must be in good condition. Never oper-
ate electrical equipment with damaged or defective
cords.
Store the generator in a well-ventilated area with the
fuel tank empty. Fuel should not be stored near the
generator.
Your generator should never be operated under these
conditions:
a. Uncontrolled change in engine speed. (NOTE:
The optional idle control feature will reduce the
engine speed in a "No Load" condition.)

SAFETy AND OPERATION RULES
CAUTION indicates a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or
moderate personal injury, or property
damage.
b. Electrical output loss.
c. Overheating in connected equipment.
d. Sparking.
e. Damaged receptacles.
f. Engine misfire.
g. Excessive vibration.
h. Flame or smoke.
i. Enclosed compartment.
j. Rain or inclement weather. Do not let the unit get wet when
operating.
Check the fuel system periodically for leaks or signs of dete-
rioration such as chafed or spongy hose, loose or missing
clamps, or damaged tank or cap. All defects should be cor-
rected before operation.
The generator should be operated, serviced, and refueled
only under the following conditions:
a. Start and run the generator outdoors. Do not run the gen-
erator in an enclosed area, even if doors or windows are
open; avoid areas where vapors may be trapped, such as
pits, garages, cellars, excavations and boat bilges.
DANGER:
CARbON MONOXIDE HAZARD: The engine exhaust
contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous, odorless,
invisible gas which, if breathed, can cause death or
serious personal injury. If you start to feel sick, dizzy
or weak while using the generator, shut it off and get to fresh
air right away; you may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
b. Good ventilation for cooling. Air flow and temperatures are
important for air cooled units. Temperatures should not
exceed 104°F ambient (40°C).
c. Refuel the generator in a well lighted area. Avoid fuel spills
and never refuel while the generator is running. Allow
engine to cool for two minutes prior to refueling.
d. Do not refuel near open flames, pilot lights, or sparking
electrical equipment such as power tools, welders, and
grinders.
e. The muffler and air cleaner must be installed and in good
condition at all times as they function as flame arresters if
backfiring occurs.
f. Do not smoke near the generator.
