HAZARD
Operation of
generator in rain,
wet, icy, or
flooded
conditions.
Use of worn,
damaged, under-
sized or un-
grounded exten-
sion cords.
Placing generator
on or against
highly conductive
surface, such as a
steel walkway or
metal roof.
Improper
connection of
items to
generator.
Operation of unit
when damaged,
or with guards or
panels removed.

RISK OF ELECTROCUTION AND FIRE
(Continued)
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Water is an excellent conductor
of electricity! Water which comes
in contact with electrically
charged components can
transmit electricity to the frame
and other surfaces, resulting in
electrical shock to anyone con-
tacting them.
Contact with worn or damaged
extension cords could result in
electrocution.
Use of undersize extension
cords could result in overheating
of the wires or attached items,
resulting in fire.
Use of ungrounded cordsets
could prevent operation of
circuit breakers and result in
electrical shock.
Accidental leakage of electrical
current could charge conductive
surfaces in contact with the
generator.
Exceeding the load capacity of
the generator by attaching too
many items, or items with very
high load ratings to it could
result in overheating of some
items or their attachment wiring
resulting in fire or electrical
shock.
Attempting to use the unit
when it has been damaged, or
when it is not functioning
normally could result in fire or
electrocution.
Removal of guarding could
expose electrically charged
components and result in
electrocution.
Operate generator in a clean, dry,
well ventilated area. Make sure
hands are dry before touching
unit.
Inspect extension cords before
use and replace with new cord if
required.
Use proper size (wire gauge)
cordset for application see chart
in the Assembly section of this
manual.
Always use a cordset having a
grounding wire with an
appropriate grounding plug. DO
NOT use an ungrounded plug.
Place generator on low conduc-
tivity surface such as a concrete
slab.
ALWAYS operate generator a
minimum of six feet from any
conductive surface.
Read the load rating chart and
instructions in the Wattage Cal-
culation section. Make sure that
the summation of electrical
loads for all attachments does
not exceed the load rating of the
generator.
Do not operate generator with
mechanical or electrical
problem. Have unit repaired by
an Authorized Service Center.
Do not operate generator with
protective guarding removed.
