SAFETY

GFCI

The generator is equipped with Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) receptacles. In the event of a ground
fault, a GFCI trips automatically to stop the flow of electricity
and prevent serious injury. The green indicator light (A)
on the receptacle will also turn off. Push the "RESET" (B)
button located on the front of the receptacle to restore the
flow of electricity. The indicator light will turn back on. GFCI
does not protect against circuit overloads.
To check the proper operation of a GFCI receptacle:
1. With the generator running, plug a lamp into the GFCI
receptacle. Turn the lamp on.
2. Press the "TEST" (C) button located on the front of the
receptacle to trip the device. This should immediately
stop the flow of electricity and shut off the lamp. If the
electricity is not stopped, DO NOT use this receptacle
until it has been serviced or replaced.
3. Press the "RESET" button located on the front of the
receptacle to restore the flow of electricity. If the indicator
light does not come back on or if the GFCI cannot be
reset then it must be replaced.
Some stationary motors, such as a bathroom vent fan,
fluorescent lighting fixtures or some refrigerators, may
produce enough current leakage to cause nuisance
tripping. To avoid nuisance tripping, a GFCI should not
supply: fluorescent or other types of electric-discharge
lighting fixtures or permanently installed electric motors,
like air conditioners, furnaces or refrigerators.

NOTICE

CO SENSOR

The CO Sensor monitors for the accumulation of
poisonous carbon monoxide gas around the generator
when the engine is running. If increasing levels of CO gas
are detected, the CO Sensor automatically shuts down the
engine.
The CO Sensor will also detect the accumulation of carbon
monoxide from other fuel burning sources used in the area
of operation. For example, if the exhaust of fuel burning
tools is pointed at a CO Sensor-equipped generator, a
shut-off may be initiated due to rising CO levels. This is not
an error. Hazardous carbon monoxide has been detected.
Move and redirect any additional fuel burning sources
to dissipate carbon monoxide away from personnel and
occupied buildings.
Note: Remote start-equipped generators must be restarted
with the START/STOP button on the control panel
after an automatic shut-down occurs.
Generators are intended to be used outdoors, far from
occupied buildings and the exhaust pointed away from
personnel and buildings. If misused and operated in a
location that results in the accumulation of CO, like in
a partially enclosed area, the CO Sensor shuts off the
engine, notifies the user with a RED indicator light, and
directs the user to read the Action Label for steps to take.
The CO Sensor DOES NOT replace carbon monoxide
alarms. Install battery-powered carbon monoxide alarm(s)
in your home.
Automatic shutoff accompanied with a flashing RED
light in the CO Sensor portion of the control panel is an
indication that the generator was improperly located. If
you start to feel sick, dizzy, weak, or carbon monoxide
detectors in your home indicate an alarm, get to fresh
air immediately. Call emergency services. You may have
carbon monoxide poisoning.
