DANGER
Contact with terminals, bare wires and
electrical connections when generator
is running will result in death or serious
injury.
DANGER
Fire and electrocution hazard. Do not connect to a
building's electrical system unless the generator and
transfer switch have been properly installed and the
electrical output has been verified by a qualified
electrician. The connection must isolate the
generator power from utility power and must comply
with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in any
damp or highly conductive area, such as metal
decking or steel work.
• DO NOT use generator with electrical cords which
are worn, frayed, bare or otherwise damaged.
• DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to
operate or service generator.
WARNING
Exhaust heat/gases could ignite combustibles,
structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire,
resulting in death or serious injury.
Contact with muffler area could cause burns
resulting in serious injury.
WARNING
When operating machine, do not touch
hot surfaces. Keep machine away from
combustibles during use. Hot surfaces
could result in severe burns or fire.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• Replacement parts must be the same and installed
in the same position as the original parts.
• It is a violation of California Public Resource Code,
Section 4442, to use or operate the engine on any
forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered
land unless the exhaust system is equipped with a
spark arrester, as defined in Section 4442,
maintained in effective working order. Other states
or federal jurisdictions may have similar laws.
Contact the original equipment manufacturer,
retailer, or dealer to obtain a spark arrester
designed for the exhaust system installed on this
engine.
WARNING
Unintentional sparking could cause fire or electric
shock resulting in death or serious injury.
WHEN ADJUSTING OR MAKING REPAIRS TO
YOUR GENERATOR
• Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug
and place the wire where it cannot contact spark
plug.
WHEN TESTING FOR ENGINE SPARK
• Use approved spark plug tester.
• DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed.
WARNING
Starter and other rotating parts could
entangle hands, hair, clothing, or
accessories. Keep away from rotating
parts, failure to do so could result in
death or serious injury.
• DO NOT wear loose clothing, jewelry or anything
that could be caught in the starter or other rotating
parts.
CAUTION
Excessively high operating speeds could result in
minor injury. Excessively low operating speeds
impose a heavy load.
