General Precautions
Z_ WARNING! Failure to follow these instructions can result in severe injury or death.
DANGER!
Carbon Monoxide
Using a generetor indoors WILL KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
CarbonMonoxide
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell.
If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing CO. But even If you cannot smell the exhaust, you
could be breathing CO.
• NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels
of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT
supply enough fresh air.
• ONLY use a generator outdoors and far away from open windows, doors, and vents. These openings can
pull in generator exhaust.
Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or
battery-backup COalarm in the home.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY.
See a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
Gasolineand Oil
This product requires oil and fuel. Attempting to start the engine without oil will ruin the engine and void the
warranty. Work in well ventilated area. Keep cigarettes, flames or sparks away from the work area or where
gasoline is stored.
_1_ WARNING! Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Keep out of
reach of children.
Gasoline fuel and fumes are flammable and potentially explosive. Use proper fuel storage and handling
procedures. Always have multiple ABC class fire extinguishers nearby.
Keep the generator and surrounding area clean at all times.
Fuel or oil spills must be cleaned up immediately. Dispose of fluids and cleaning materials as per any local,
state, or federal codes and regulations. Store oily rags in a covered metal container.
o Never store fuel or other flammable materials near the generator.

Manua!
General Precautions
Do not smoke, or allow sparks, flames or other sources of ignition around the engine and fuel tank. Fuel
vapors are explosive.
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.
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
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.
Use only engine manufacturer recommended fuel and oil.
HotComponents
_ 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.
Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
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.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a generator. Provide barriers or shields as
needed.
EiectricaJ Safety
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.
Grounding provides a low-resistance path to carry electricity away from the user in the event of an electrical
malfunction.
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.

Manua!
General Precautions
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.
Do not expose generator to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a generator will increase the risk of
electric shock.
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.
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.
All connections and conduits from the generator to the load must only be installed by trained and licensed
electricians, and in compliance with all relevant local, state, and federal electrical codes and standards, and
other regulations where applicable.
The generator must be earth-grounded for fixed installations in accordance with all relevant electrical codes
and standards before operation.
Do not attempt to connect or disconnect load connections while standing in water, or wet or soggy ground.
Do not touch electrically energized parts of the generator and interconnecting cables or conductors with any
part of the body, or with any non-insulated conductive object.
Connect the generator only to a load or electrical system (110/120 volt) that is compatible with the electrical
characteristics and rated capacities of the generator.
Before servicing equipment powered by the generator, disconnect the equipment from its power input.
Keep all electrical equipment clean and dry. Replace any wiring where the insulation is cracked, cut abraded
or otherwise degraded. Replace terminals that are worn, discolored, or corroded. Keep terminals clean and
tight.
Insulate all connections and disconnected wires.
Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges,
and refrigerator enclosures.
PersenaJSafety

_ CAUTION: Attempting to power sensitive electronic equipment without the use of an approved
line conditioner may cause damage to the equipment. Gentron® is not responsible for any direct or indirect
damage caused by failure to use an approved line conditioner.
2. Once the generator is running, simply connect the power cords of 120 volt AC powered tools and
equipment into the 120 volt AC dual outlets.
,_ NOTE: The generator features an AC non-fuse circuit breaker to protect the AC circuit in case of an
overload. Should an overload occur, the breaker will "trip" to its "off" position, In this case, refer to above in
this position. Then, reset the circuitry system by turning the circuit breaker to its "on" position.
3. Disconnect all electrical powered tools and equipment from the generator's 120 volt AC duel outlets.
4. After the engine and generator have completely cooled, store generator in a safe, clean, dry location (if
not already installed).
Powering 12 Volt DCtools and Equipment:
1. Prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the generator's rated voltage, and amperage capacity
(12V DC) is adequate to supply all electrical loads that the unit will power. If powering exceeds the
generator's capacity, it may be necessary to group one or more of the tools and/or equipment for connection
to a separate generator.
2. Connect the power cord of a 12V DC powered tool or equipment to the DC Terminals.
_ CAUTION: Make sure to connect the positive (+) lead of the power cord to the positive (÷) terminal on
