Important safety precautions
This manual contains critical safety information. Please read the entire manual closely.
Because safety is paramount and using a generator carries significant responsibilities, we have outlined
warnings and the general hazards of operating generators. In addition, we have summarized the
recommended procedures for operating, repairing, maintaining, and storing your specific generator to
keep you and others safe.
It would be impossible for us to warn you of each risk and all of the hazards involved in the use of
generators. Therefore, it’s essential that you use your best judgment and take precautions when using,
maintaining, repairing, and storing your generator.
There are many safety warnings in this manual and on the generator itself to guide you:
Generator safety labels: The safety labels on your generator warn of potential danger. It’s
critical that you read them. If any labels become difficult to read or have been removed, contact
your dealer for a replacement label.
Manual safety messages: This manual contains specific instructions and severe warnings
about the ramifications of using poor judgment and not following the instructions outlined in this
manual. The ramifications range from serious injury and losing consciousness to death.
Manual headings and sections: We’ve devoted several sections of this manual to outline the
risks, hazards, and warnings when using, repairing, maintaining, and storing your generator.
Pay attention to cautions such as, “Carbon monoxide WARNINGS” or “Electric shock WARNINGS” or
“Burn and fire WARNINGS.”
Not following instructions or using poor judgment when using
and maintaining your generator can cause you or someone
else to be
KILLED
or

Safety warnings
Carbon Monoxide WARNINGS
Only operate your generator outdoors.
Operating a generator carries serious responsibility. There are precautions that you need to take when
operating a generator:
•Never operate your generator indoors
or near any windows or doors.
•Never operate your generator in an
enclosed or a partially enclosed area
such as a garage.
•Do not let the exhaust from your
generator build up to dangerous
levels.
•Do not breathe the poisonous gas in
your generator’s exhaust.
•Become familiar with your generator.
Understand all of your generator’s
controls, connections, and output receptacles. Know how to quickly stop your generator in case of
an emergency.
•If anyone else operates your generator, be sure he/she is properly instructed.
•Do not let children play with or operate your generator.
•Keep your generator at least seven feet away from flammable materials.
The exhaust from your generator contains carbon monoxide.
Breathing this poisonous gas, which is odorless and colorless, can
cause unconsciousness and could even kill you.
