1.2. Operating safety
• Operate the generator according to instructions for safe and dependable service.
• Always perform a preoperation check before starting the engine.
• Properly clean and maintain the equipment.
• Read the user manual carefully before operation. Failure to do so can result in personal injuries or
equipment damage.
• Never run the generator in an enclosed area, since the exhaust emits poisonous carbon monoxide
gas.
• Gasoline is a highly flammable and explosive liquid. Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine
stopped.
• Be careful not to touch the exhaust system during operation because it can cause burns.
• Pay attention to the warning labels because the engine exhaust system will become hot during
operation and remain hot immediately after the engine is stopped.
• When refueling the generator, keep it away from cigarettes, open flames, smoke and/or sparks.
• Connections for standby power to a building's electrical system must be done by a qualified elec-
trician and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes. Improper connections may
cause fires.
• Place the generator at least 3 feet away from buildings or other equipment during operation.
• Run the generator on a level surface. If the generator tilts, fuel spillage may result.
• Know how to stop the generator quickly and understand operation of all the controls. Never permit
anyone to operate the generator without proper instructions.
• Keep children, pets and rotating parts away from the generator during operation.
• Do not operate the generator in rain or snow.
• Do not allow any moisture to come into contact with the generator.
• Do not touch the spark plug while the generator is operating and shortly after the generator has
been shut down.
