CONTACT WITH SPARKS, A PILOT LIGHT OR AN OPEN
FLAME. IMPROPER STORAGE OF THIS GENERATOR
COULD RESULT IN AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE.
EXHAUST GASES
DANGER: DO NOT OPERATE THIS GENERATOR
WITHIN AN ENCLOSED AREA. THE EXHAUST
GASES OF THIS GENERATOR EMIT "DEADLY"
CARBON MONOXIDE. EXPOSURE TO CARBON MONOXIDE
CAN CAUSE CARBON
HEADACHES, NAUSEA, SEVERE SICKNESS OR DEATH.
BURNS AND SCALDS
CAUTION: KEEP HANDS, BODY PARTS, HAIR AND
CLOTHING AWAY FROM THE "HOT" PARTS OF
THE GENERATOR SET DURING AND AFTER
OPERATION. THE EXHAUST
GENERATOR IN GENERAL, CAN REMAIN VERY HOT EVEN
AFTER BEING SHUT DOWN.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
CAUTION: INSPECT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM
REGULARLY TO ENSURE IT IS FUNCTIONING
PROPERLY. LEAKY EXHAUST SYSTEMS WILL
INCREASE NOISE LEVELS.
CAUTION: DIRECT THE "LOUD" SIDES OF THE
GENERATOR INTO OPEN SPACES AVOIDING
REVERBERATION FROM WALLS OR BUILDINGS
THUS AMPLIFYING THE SOUND.
CAUTION: INSPECT THE SPARK ARRESTOR
PERIODICALLY.
REQUIRED IN SOME AREAS AND MINIMIZE THE
RISK OF FIRE FROM SPARKS EMMITTED FROM THE
EXHAUST.
CAUTION: NEVER DRAIN OR DISPOSE OF
ENGINE OIL INTO THE GROUND OR DOMESTIC
WASTE WATER SYSTEMS.
GENERAL SAFETY
Always follow National and Local electrical codes
pertaining to generators. All local and national codes
supersede rules or information provided in this manual.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THIS GENERATOR
IF THE AMBIENT
104ºF/40ºC.
CAUTION: DO NOT EXCEED THE RATED CAPACITY
OF THE GENERATOR. THE TOTAL ELECTRICAL
LOADS AT EACH OUTLET MUST BE ADDED TO
BATTERY SAFETY
WARNING: STORAGE BATTERIES PRODUCE AND RELEASE EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS WHEN CHARGING. THE
SLIGHTEST SPARK, FLAME OR BURNING ASH CAN IGNITE THESE GASES CAUSING A SERIOUS EXPLOSION THAT
COULD RESULT IN BLINDNESS OR OTHER SERIOUS INJURIES. WEAR EYE PROTECTION, RUBBER APRON AND
RUBBER GLOVES WHEN WORKING AROUND A BATTERY OR PERFORMING BATTERY SERVICE. BATTERY FLUID IS AN
EXTREMELY CAUSTIC SULFURIC ACID, WHICH CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS. ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE (-)
BATTERY CABLE FROM THE BATTERY BEFORE PERFORMING BATTERY SERVICE OR BEFORE PERFORMING ANY ELECTRICAL
SERVICE ON THE GENERATOR OR ENGINE.

SPARK ARRESTORS
TEMPERATURE EXCEEDS
DETERMINE THE TOTAL ELECTRICAL LOAD. THE TOTAL
LOAD MUST NOT EXCEED THE RATED CAPACITY OF THE
GENERATOR. IF THE DRIVEN APPARATUS DOES NOT LIST
WATTAGE, BUT ONLY AMPERAGE, WATTAGE MAY BE
DETERMINED
VOLTAGE (WATTS = AMPS X VOLTS).
CAUTION: DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE ENGINE-
GOVERNED SPEED. THE GENERATOR OPERATES
AT A NOMINAL SPEED OF 3600 RPM. INCREASES
IN SPEED OVER THE 3600 RPM NOMINAL WILL INCREASE
THE CHANCE OF PERSONAL INJURY DUE TO ROTATIONAL
STRESSES ON THE ROTATING MEMBERS. OPERATION OF
THE GENERATOR AT SPEEDS BELOW THE NOMINAL 3600
RPM COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE GENERATOR OR
DRIVEN APPARATUS DUE TO LOW VOLTAGE OUTPUT.
WARNING: REFER TO LOCAL AND NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL
THE
GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS AS THIS CAN
VARY PER APPLICATION. THE GENERATOR IS GROUNDED
INTERNALLY NEUTRAL TO FRAME. WHERE APPLICATIONS
REQUIRE EXTERNAL GROUNDING, A CONNECTION MUST
BE MADE FROM THE GENERATOR TO A SOLID EARTH
GROUND. A CONTINUOUS LENGTH OF SPLICE-FREE
COPPER CABLE, NO SMALLER THAN 6 AWG, SHALL BE
USED FOR THE CONDUCTOR.
•
When moving or transporting this generator, take
proper precautions to avoid fuel spillage. Further,
always use common sense when lifting this
generator. An adequate number of people and
proper lifting methods must be used.
•
Do not cover the generator while it is running or
immediately after shutdown. Always allow time to
cool down before covering.
ARE
•
Do not operate this generator unless it is in good
mechanical and electrical condition.
•
Always keep hands, body parts, hair and clothing
well away from the rotating parts of the generator.
•
Do not start this generator with connected devices
turned "ON". Always make sure that connected
devices are disconnected from the generator or
turned "OFF" before starting the generator.
•
Generators operating on job or construction sites
may be required to have GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupters) receptacles.
•
Use only grounded extension cords in good
condition and make sure that the wire size within the
extension cords is of sufficient size to safely carry
the surge output of the generator.
•
Never handle extension cords or electrical circuits if
standing in water or if standing in a damp area.
