NOTICE
This generator is NOT equipped with altitude carburetor modication. Even with a carburetor modication, engine horsepower will
decrease about 3.5% for each 300 meter (1,000 foot) increase in altitude. The eect of altitude on horsepower will be greater if no
carburetor modication is made. A decrease in engine horsepower will decrease the power output of the generator. Contact our
service team to order altitude kits.

Moisture or ice can cause a short circuit or other malfunction in the electrical circuit.
Never operate the inverter in an enclosed area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide. Only
operate the inverter outside and away from windows, doors and vents.
WARNING
Voltage produced by the inverter could result in death or serious injury.
• Never operate the inverter in rain or a ood plain unless proper precautions are taken to avoid being
subject to rain or a ood.
• Never use worn or damaged extension cords.
• Always have a licensed electrician connect the inverter to the utility circuit.
• Never touch an operating inverter if the inverter is wet or if you have wet hands.
•Never operate the inverter in highly conductive areas such as around metal decking or steel works.
• Always use grounded extension cords. Always use three-wire or double-insulated power tools.
• Never touch live terminals or bare wires while the inverter is operating.
