OPERATION
Generator Location
NEVER operate the generator inside any building,
including garages, basements, crawlspaces and sheds,
enclosure or compartment, including the generator
compartment of a recreational vehicle. Please consult
your local authority. In some areas, generators must
be registered with the local utility. Generators used at
construction sites may be subject to additional rules and
regulations. Generators should be on a flat, level surface
at all times (even while not in operation). Generators
must have at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance from all
combustible material. In addition to clearance from all
combustible material, generators must also have at least
3 ft. (91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides to allow for
adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing. Generators
should never be started or operated in the back of a
SUV, camper, trailer, in the bed of a truck (regular, flat
or otherwise), under staircases/stairwells, next to walls
or buildings, or in any other location that will not allow
for adequate cooling of the generator and/or the muffler.
DO NOT contain generators during operation. Allow
generators to properly cool before transport or storage.
Place the generator in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT
place the generator near vents or intakes where exhaust
fumes could be drawn into occupied or confined spaces.
Carefully consider wind and air currents when positioning
generator.
Failure to follow proper safety precautions may void
manufacturer's warranty.
WARNING
Do not operate or store the generator in rain, snow,
or wet weather.
Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet
conditions, such as rain or snow, or near a pool or
sprinkler system, or when your hands are wet, could
result in electrocution.
WARNING
During operation the muffler and exhaust fumes
produced will become hot. If adequate cooling and
breathing space are not supplied, or if the generator
is blocked or contained, temperatures can become
extremely heated and may lead to fire.
