GENERALSAFETYRULESWORKAREA
1. Keepyourworkareacleanandwelllit.Clutteredbenchesanddarkareasinvite
accidents.
2. Donotoperategeneratorsinexplosiveatmospheres,suchasinthepresenceof
flammableliquids,gases,ordust.Generatorscreatesparks,whichmayignitethe
dustorfumes
3. Keepbystanders,children,andvisitorsawaywhileoperatingagenerator.Provide
barriersorshieldsasneeded.
4. Dressproperly.Donotwearlooseclothingorjewelry.Containlonghair.Keep
yourhair,clothing,andglovesawayfrommovingparts.Looseclothes,jewelry,
andlonghaircanbecaughtinmovingparts.

IMPORTANTSAFETYINFORMATION
GENERATORSAFETY
1.Donotoverloadthegenerator.Usethecorrectgeneratorforyourapplication.
Thecorrectgeneratorwilldothejobbetterandsaferattherateforwhichitis
designed.
2.Donotexposetorainorwetconditions.Waterenteringageneratorwillincrease
theriskofelectricshock.
3.Stayalert.Watchwhatyouaredoing,andusecommonsensewhenoperatinga
generator.Donotuseageneratorwhiletiredorundertheinfluenceofdrugs,alcohol,
ormedication.Amomentofinattentionwhileoperatingthegeneratormayresultin

3/22
seriouspersonalinjury.
4.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.
5.CAUTION!Neverrunthegeneratorinanenclosedgarageoranyothertypeof
enclosedstructurewithoutaproper,leak‐freeventilationshaft.CarbonMonoxide,
anodorless,colorlessdeadlygasmayaccumulateandcauseseriousinjuryordeath.
6.DonotusethegeneratorifthePowerSwitchdoesnotturnitonoroff.Any
generatorthatcannotbecontrolledwiththePowerSwitchisdangerousandmustbe
repaired.
7.MakesurethePowerSwitchisinits"OFF"positionanddisconnectthespark
plugwirebeforemakinganyadjustments,changingaccessories,orstoringthe
generator.Suchpreventivesafetymeasuresreducetheriskofstartingthegenerator
accidentally.
8.Maintaingeneratorswithcare.Donotuseadamagedgenerator.Tagdamaged
generators"Donotuse"untilrepaired.
9.Onlyqualifiedrepairpersonnelshouldperformgeneratorservice.Serviceor
maintenanceperformedbyunqualifiedpersonnelcouldresultininjury.
10.Usetherightgeneratorforthejob.Donotattempttoforceasmallgeneratorto
dotheworkofalargerindustrialgenerator.Therearecertainapplicationsforwhich
thisgeneratorwasdesigned.Itwilldothejobbetterandmoresafelyattheratefor
whichitwasintended.Donotmodifythisgenerator,anddonotusethisgenerator
forapurposeforwhichitwasnotintended.
INSTALLATIONPROCEDURES
1.WARNING!BeforeusingtheGenerator,readandunderstandtheEngine



1. GroundTerminal
Thegeneratorgroundterminalisconnectedtotheframeofthegenerator,the
metalnon‐currentcarryingpartsofthegenerator,andthegroundterminalsof
eachreceptacle.
Beforeusingthegroundterminal,consultaqualifiedelectrician,electrical
inspectororlocalagencyhavingjurisdictionforlocalcodesorordinancesthat
applytotheintendeduseofthegenerator.


2. CircuitBreaker
ThecircuitbreakerwillautomaticallyswitchOFFifthereisashortcircuitora
significantoverloadofthegeneratoratthereceptacle.Ifthecircuitbreakeris
switchedOFFautomatically,checkthattheapplianceisworkingproperlyand
doesnotexceedtheratedloadcapacityofthecircuitbeforeswitchingthecircuit
breakerONagain.
ThecircuitbreakermaybeusedtoswitchthegeneratorpowerONorOFF.
