CARBON MONOXIDE - POISONOUS GAS
Use generator outdoors, away from open windows, vents, or doors.
Keep generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from any structure or
building during use.
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide - a poisonous gas
that can kill you. You CAN NOT smell or see this gas.
Never use a generator in enclosed or partially-enclosed spaces.
Generators can produce high levels of carbon monoxide very quickly.
When you use a portable generator, remember that you cannot smell
or see carbon monoxide. Even if you can’t smell exhaust fumes, you
may still be exposed to carbon monoxide.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using a generator, get to fresh
air RIGHT AWAY. DO
NOT DELAY. The
carbon monoxide
from generators can
rapidly lead to full
incapacitation and
death.
If you experience
serious symptoms,
get medical attention
immediately. Inform
medical staff that
carbon monoxide
poisoning is suspected. If you experienced symptoms while indoors,
have someone call the re department to determine when it is safe
to re-enter the building.
NEVER operate the generator in an explosive atmosphere, near
combustible materials or where ventilation is not sufcient to carry
away exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes can cause serious injury or
death.
NEVER use a generator indoors, including in homes, garages,
basements, crawl spaces, and other enclosed or partially-enclosed
areas, even with ventilation. Opening doors and windows or using
fans will not prevent carbon monoxide build-up in the home.
Follow the instructions that come with your generator. Locate the unit
outdoors and away from doors, windows, and vents that could allow
the carbon monoxide gas to come indoors.
ONLY run generator outdoors and away from air intakes.
NEVER run generator inside homes, garages, sheds, or other semi-
enclosed spaces. These spaces can trap poisonous gases EVEN IF
you run a fan or open doors and windows.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using the generator, shut
if off and get fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have
carbon monoxide poisoning.
Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon
monoxide alarms with battery back-up in your home, according to the
manufacturer’s installation instructions. The carbon monoxide alarms
should be certied to the requirements of the latest safety standards
for carbon monoxide alarms. (UL 2034, IAS 6-96, or CSA 6.19.01).
Test your carbon monoxide alarm frequently and replace dead
batteries.
DANGER DANGER PELIGRO

Operator’s Manual 7
SAFETY WARNING WHEN REFUELING
Gasoline is extremely ammable and its vapors can explode if
ignited.
Observe all safety regulations for the safe handling of fuel. Handle
fuel in safety containers. If the container does not have a spout, use
a funnel.
Do not overll the fuel tank, leave room for the fuel to expand.
Do not rell fuel tank while the engine is running. Before refueling
the generator, turn it off and let it cool down. Gasoline spilled on hot
engine parts could ignite.
Fill the tank only on an area of bare ground. While fueling the tank,
keep heat, sparks and open ame away. Carefully clean up any
spilled fuel before starting engine.
Always ll fuel tank in an area with plenty of ventilation to avoid
inhaling dangerous fumes.
NEVER store fuel for your generator in the home. Gasoline, propane,
kerosene, and other ammable liquids should be stored outside of living
areas in properly-labeled, non-glass safety containers. Do not store
them near a fuel-burning appliance, such as a natural gas water heater
in a garage. If the fuel is spilled or the container is not sealed properly,
invisible vapors from the fuel can travel along the ground and can be
ignited by the appliance’s pilot light or by arcs from electric switches
in the appliance.

8 Operator’s Manual
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock.
DANGER - IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT-
GROUNDING CONDUCTOR CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF
ELECTROCUTION. CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN OR SERVICE PERSON IF YOU ARE IN
DOUBT AS TO WHETHER THE UNIT IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED.
This generator is equipped with a grounding terminal for your
protection. Always complete the ground path from the generator to an
external ground source as instructed in the section labeled “Grounding
Instructions” in the Preparation section of this manual.
The generator is a potential source of electrical shock if not kept dry.
Keep the generator dry and do not use in rain or wet conditions. To
protect from moisture, operate it on a dry surface under an open,
canopy-like structure. Dry your hands if wet before touching the
generator.
Plug appliances directly into the generator. Or, use a heavy duty,
outdoor-rated extension cord that is rated (in watts or amps) at least
equal to the sum of the connected appliance loads. Check that the
entire cord is free of cuts or tears and that the plug has all three prongs,
especially a grounding pin.
NEVER try to power the house wiring by plugging the generator into
a wall outlet, a practice known as “back feeding”. This is an extremely
dangerous practice that presents an electrocution risk to utility workers
and neighbors served by the same utility transformer. It also bypasses
some of the built-in household circuit protection devices.
If you must connect the generator to the house wiring to power
appliances, have a qualied electrician install the appropriate equipment
in accordance with local electrical codes. Or, check with your utility
company to see if it can install an appropriate power transfer switch.
For power outages, permanently installed stationary generators are
better suited for providing backup power to the home. Even a properly
connected portable generator can become overloaded. This may result
in overheating or stressing the generator components, possibly leading
to a generator failure.

Operator’s Manual 9
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, read this operator’s
manual completely before using. When using this product, the
following basic precautions should always be followed:
1. Read all the instructions before using the product.
2. Do not enclose the generator nor cover it with a
box. The generator has a built-in forced air cooling
system, and may become overheated if it is enclosed.
If generator has been covered to protect if from the
weather during non use, be sure to remove it and keep it
well away from the area during generator use.
3. Operate the generator on a level surface. It is not
necessary to prepare a special foundation for the
generator. However, the generator will vibrate on an
irregular surface, so choose a level place without surface
irregularities.
If the generator is tilted or moved during operation, fuel
may spill and/or the generator may tip over, causing a
hazardous situation.
Proper lubrication cannot be expected if the generator
is operated on a steep incline or slope. In such a case,
piston seizure may occur even if the oil is above the
upper level.
4. Pay attention to the wiring or extension cords from the
generator to the connected device. If the wire is under
the generator or in contact with a vibrating part, it may
break and possibly cause a re, generator burnout, or
electric shock hazard. Replace damaged or worn cords
immediately.
5. Do not operate in rain, in wet or damp conditions, or
with wet hands. The operator may suffer severe electric
shock if the generator is wet due to rain or snow.
6. If wet, wipe and dry it well before starting. Do not pour
water directly over the generator, nor wash it with water.
7. Be extremely careful that all necessary electrical
grounding procedures are followed during each and
every use. Failure to do so can be fatal.
8. NEVER try to power the house wiring by plugging the
generator into a wall outlet, a practice known as “back
feeding”. This is an extremely dangerous practice that
presents an electrocution risk to utility workers and
neighbors served by the same utility transformer. It
also bypasses some of the built-in household circuit
protection devices.
If you must connect the generator to the house wiring to
power appliances, have a qualied electrician install the
appropriate equipment in accordance with local electrical
codes. Or, check with your utility company to see if it can
install an appropriate power transfer switch.
9. No smoking while charging a battery. The battery emits
ammable hydrogen gas, which can explode if exposed
to electric arcing or open ame. Keep the area well-
ventilated and keep open ames / sparks away when
charging a battery.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
DANGER - IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE
EQUIPMENT-GROUNDING CONDUCTOR CAN
RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTROCUTION.
CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR
SERVICE PERSON IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT AS
TO WHETHER THE UNIT IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED.
The ground terminal on the frame must always be used to
connect the generator to a suitable ground source. The ground
path should be made with #8 size wire. Connect the grounding
wire securely to the ground terminal. Connect the other end of
the wire securely to a suitable ground source. (Fig. 7)
The National Electric Code contains several practical ways in
which to establish a good ground source. Examples given below
illustrate a few of the ways in which a good ground source may
be established.
A metal underground water pipe in direct contact with the earth
for at least 10 feet can be used as a grounding source. If an pipe
is unavailable, an 8 foot length of pipe or rod may be used as the
ground source. The pipe should be 3/4 inch trade size or larger
and the outer surface must be noncorrosive. If a steel or iron rod
is used it should be at least 5/8 inch diameter and if a nonferrous
rod is used it should be at least 1/2 inch diameter and be listed
as material for grounding. Drive the rod or pipe to a depth of 8
feet. If a rock bottom is encountered less than 4 feet down, bury
the rod or pipe in a trench. All electrical tools and appliances
operated from this generator, must be properly grounded by use
of a third wire or be “Double Insulated”.
It is recommended to:
1. Use electrical devices with 3 prong power cords.
2. Use an extension cord with a 3 hole receptacle and a 3
prong plug at the opposite ends to ensure continuity of
the ground protection from the generator to appliance.
We strongly recommend that all applicable federal, state and
local regulations relating to grounding specications be checked
and followed.
LINE TRANSFER SWITCH
If this generator is used for standby service, it must have
a transfer switch between the utility power service and the
generator. The transfer switch not only prevents the utility
power form feeding into the generator, but is also prevents the
generator form feeding out into the utility company’s lines. This
is intended to protect the serviceman who may be working on
a damaged line.
THIS INSTALLATION MUST BE DONE BY A LICENSED
ELECTRICIAN AND ALL LOCAL CODES MUST BE
FOLLOWED.
