General Precautions (cont’d)
Gasoline and Oil (cont’d)
z Do not smoke, or allow sparks, flames or other sources of ignition
around the engine and fuel tank. Fuel vapors are explosive.
z Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed,
live electrical parts and connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These
events could ignite fumes or vapors.
z Do not refill the fuel tank while the engine is running or while the engine
is still hot. Do not operate the generator with known leaks in the fuel
system.
z Excessive buildup of unburned fuel gases in the exhaust system can
create a potentially explosive condition. This buildup can occur after
repeated failed start attempts, valve testing, or hot engine shutdown. If
this occurs, open exhaust system drain plugs, if equipped, and allow the
gases to dissipate before attempting to restart the generator.
z Use only engine manufacturer recommended fuel and oil.
Hot Components
Power Output
This generator is not designed to power sensitive electronic equipment
(including computers and medical devices) without the addition of an
approved line conditioner, which is sold separately.
WARNING! ENGINE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM PARTS BECOME VERY
HOT AND REMAIN HOT FOR SOME TIME AFTER THE ENGINE IS RUN.
WEAR INSULATED GLOVES OR WAIT UNTIL THE ENGINE AND
EXHAUST SYSTEM HAVE COOLED BEFORE HANDLING THESE
PARTS.
CAUTION: ATTEMPTING TO POWER SENSITIVE

General Precautions (cont’d)
Work Area
z Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches
and dark areas invite accidents.
z Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or
dust. Generators create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
z Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a
generator. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
Electrical Safety
z Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and
ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs.
z Grounding provides a low-resistance path to carry electricity away from
the user inthe event of an electrical malfunction.
z Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug where one
blade is wider than the other. This plug fits in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do
not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need
for the three-wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system.
z Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
z Do not expose generator to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
generator will increase the risk of electric shock.
z Do not abuse the power cord. Keep power cords away from heat, oil,
sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged power cords
immediately. Damaged power cords increase the risk of electric shock.
z When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord
marked “W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use,
and reduce the risk of electric shock.
