Electrical Hazards
Electrocution. Contact with bare wires,
terminals, and connections while generator
is running will result in death or serious injury.
Electrocution. Water contact with a power source,
if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Electrocution. In the event of electrical accident,
immediately shut power OFF. Use non-conductive
implements to free victim from live conductor. Apply
first aid and get medical help. Failure to do so will
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Accidental Start-up. Disconnect the negative battery
cable, then the positive battery cable when working
on unit. Failure to do so could result in death
or serious injury.
• The National Electric Code (NEC) requires
the frame and external electrically conduc-
tive parts of the generator be properly con-
nected to an approved earth ground. Local
electrical codes may also require proper
grounding of the generator. Consult with a
local electrician for grounding requirements
in the area.
• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter in any
damp or highly conductive area (such as
metal decking or steel work).
Fire Hazards
Explosion and Fire. Fuel and vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive. Add fuel in a well
ventilated area. Keep fire and spark away. Failure to
do so will result in death or serious injury.
Do not overfill fuel tank. Fill to 1/2 in. of top of tank to
allow for fuel expansion. Overfilling may cause fuel to
spill onto engine causing fire or explosion, which will
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Do not insert any object through the air cooling slots.
Generator can start at any time and could result in
death, serious injury, and unit damage.

Verify that no combustible materials are left
on or near the generator. Keep the area
surrounding the generator clean and free
from debris and keep a clearance of five (5)
feet on all sides to allow for proper ventila-
tion of the generator.
• Do not operate the generator if connected
electrical devices overheat, if electrical out-
put is lost, if engine or generator sparks or if
flames or smoke are observed while unit is
running.
• Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator
at all times.
