2.2 EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES
Safety of the operator and bystanders is one of the main concerns in designing and developing equip-
ment. However, every year many accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of
thought and a more careful approach to handling equipment. You, the operator, can avoid many acci-
dents by observing the following precautions in this section. To avoid personal injury or death, study the
following precautions and insist those working with you, or for you, follow them.
1. In order to provide a better view, certain
photographs or illustrations in this manual
may show an assembly with a safety shield
removed. However, equipment should never
be used in this condition. Keep all shields in
place. If shield removal becomes necessary
for repairs, replace the shield prior to use.
2. Replace any safety sign or instruction sign
that is not readable or is missing. Location of
such safety signs is indicated in this manual.
3. Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which
can hinder alertness or coordination while us-
ing this equipment. Consult your doctor about
using this machine while taking prescription
medications.
4. Under no circumstances should young
children be allowed to work with this
equipment. Do not allow persons to use
this until they have read this manual and
have developed a thorough understand-
ing of the safety precautions and of how it
works. Review the safety instructions with all
users annually.
5. This equipment is dangerous to children and
persons unfamiliar with its operation. The
operator should be a responsible, properly
trained and physically able person familiar
with machinery and familiar with this equip-
ment's operations. If the elderly are assisting
with work, their physical limitations need to be
recognized and accommodated.
6. Never exceed the limits of a piece of machin-
ery. If its ability to do a job, or to do so safely,
is in question - DON'T TRY IT.
7. Do not modify the equipment in any way. Un-
authorized modication may result in serious
injury or death and may impair the function
and life of the equipment.
8. In addition to the design and conguration of
this equipment, including Safety Signs and
Safety Equipment, hazard control and ac-
cident prevention are dependent upon the
awareness, concern, prudence, and proper
training of personnel involved in the operation,
transport, maintenance, and storage of the
machine. Refer also to Safety Messages and
operation instruction in each of the appropri-
ate sections of the engine and machine manu-
als. Pay close attention to the Safety Signs
afxed to the machine.
9. Safe condition involves the following proce-
dure:
•Flip main switch "off" or disconnect all loads
•Shut off the engine.
•Ensure all components have stopped moving.
•Remove and pocket the ignition key. (electric
start only)
•Disconnect the battery.(electric start only)
Safe Condition procedure should be per-
formed before any service, maintenance
work or storage preparation.

10
2.3 SAFETY TRAINING
1. Train all new personnel and review instruc-
tions frequently with existing workers. Safety
is a primary concern in the design and manu-
facture of our products. Unfortunately, our ef-
forts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by a single careless act of an operator or
bystander.
2. In addition to the design and conguration of
equipment, hazard control and accident pre-
vention are dependent upon the awareness,
concern, prudence and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance and storage of this equipment.
3. It has been said, "The best
safety feature is an informed,
careful operator." We ask
you to be that kind of an
operator. It is the operator's
responsibility to read and understand ALL
Safety and Use instructions in the manual and
to follow these. Accidents can be avoided.
4. Working with unfamiliar equipment can
lead to careless injuries. Read this manual
before assembly or using, to acquaint
yourself with the machine. If this machine
is used by any person other than yourself,
or is loaned or rented, it is the machine
owner's responsibility to make certain that
the operator, prior to using:
• Reads and understands the operator's
manuals.
• Is instructed in safe and proper use of
the equipment.
• Understands and knows how to perform
the "safe condition" procedure:
• Flip main switch "off" or disconnect all
loads
• Shut off the engine.
• Ensure all components have stopped
moving.
• Remove and pocket the ignition key.
(electric start only)
• Disconnect the battery.(electric start
only)
5. Know your controls and how to stop the
engine and machine quickly in an emergency.
Read this manual and the one provided with
your engine.
6. Be certain only a properly trained and physi-
cally able person will use the machinery. A
person who has not read and understood all
using and safety instructions is not qualied
to use the machine. An untrained operator
exposes himself and bystanders to possible
serious injury or death. If the elderly are as-
sisting with the work, their physical limitations
need to be recognized and accommodated.

11
4. Clear working area of stones, branches or
hidden obstacles that might be hooked or
snagged, causing injury or damage.
5. Use only in daylight or good articial light.
6. Be sure machine is properly mounted, adjust-
ed and in good operating condition.
7. Ensure that all safety shielding and safety
signs are properly installed and in good condi-
tion.
8. If fuel is on site, store it well away from the
machine and ammable materials.
9. Perform the "PreOperation Checklist" proce-
dure before starting work.
2.4 PREPARATION
1. Never use the engine and machine until the
operators have been adequately trained in the
safe operation of the machine and have read
and completely understand:
• Safety, Operation and Feature sections of
this manual,
• Engine Operator's Manual
• Each of the Safety Messages found on the
safety signs on the engine and machine.
2. Personal protection equipment including:
• safety glasses
• safety shoes
• gloves
• hearing protection
are recommended
during assembly, in-
stallation, operation,
adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal,
cleaning, or moving the generator. Do not al-
low long hair, loose tting clothing or jewellery
to be around equipment.
3. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE
MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING
LOSS!
Power equipment can often be noisy enough
to cause permanent, partial
hearing loss. We recommend
that you wear hearing protec-
tion on a full-time basis. Noise
over 85dB on a long-term ba-
sis can cause severe hearing
loss. Noise over 90db adja-
cent to the Operator over a long-term basis
may cause permanent, total hearing loss.
Caution: Hearinglossfrom
loud noise (from tractors,
chain saws, radios, and other
such sources close to the ear) is
cumulative over a lifetime without
hope of natural recovery.

12
8. Where replacement parts are necessary for
periodic maintenance and servicing, genuine
factory replacement parts must be used to
restore your equipment to original specica-
tions. The manufacturer will not be responsi-
ble for injuries or damages caused by use of
unapproved parts and/or accessories.
9. An appropriate re extinguisher (electrical
res) and rst aid kit
should be kept readily
accessible while perform-
ing maintenance on this
equipment.
10. Inspect and tighten all bolts, nuts and screws
and check that all electrical and fuel connec-
tions are properly secured to ensure genera-
tor is in a safe condition.

function, make sure all safety shields and de-
vices are installed before placing the genera-
tor in service.
12. When performing maintenance on this equip-
ment always have at least 2 workers present.
Do not work alone in case an emergency
should arise.
13. When cleaning any parts, do not use gasoline
but use regular cleanser.
14. Always use proper tools, that are in good con-
dition. Make sure you understand how to use
them, before performing any service work.
2.6 REFUELING SAFETY
Diesel fuel is not nearly as ammable as gasoline
or other common fuels, however it can catch re
and can be very difcult to extinguish.
1. Allow the engine to cool if the generator has
been in operation.
2. Refuel only outdoors in a well-ventilated area
with the engine off.
3. Never smoke near diesel, and keep other
ames and sparks away.

13
2.7 OPERATING SAFETY
1. Please remember it is important that you read
and heed the safety signs on the generator.
Clean or replace all safety signs if they can-
not be clearly read and understood. They are
there for your safety, as well as the safety of
others. The safe use of this machine is strictly
up to you, the operator.
2. All things with moving parts are potentially
hazardous. There is no substitute for a cau-
tious, safe-minded operator who recognizes
potential hazards and follows reasonable
safety practices. The manufacturer has
designed this generator to be used with all
its safety equipment properly attached, to
minimize the chance of accidents. Read and
understand operator's manual before starting,
to make sure you have all safety equipment
attached and operational.
3. Close and secure all covers, guards, deec-
tors and shields before starting and operating.
4. Personal protection equipment including hear-
ing protection, safety glasses, safety shoes,
and gloves are recommended during assem-
bly, installation, operation, adjustment, main-
taining, repairing, removal, or moving.
5. Inspect electrical harness, and controller to
ensure they are in good condition before oper-
ating to maintain control.
6. Keep the generator dry. Operate on a dry sur-
face under an open well ventilated, covered
structure.
7. Do not run machine inside a closed building to
prevent asphyxiation from engine exhaust.
8. Do not operate near openings to any building
that can be occupied in order to help avoid the
exhaust hazard.
9. Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which
can hinder alertness or coordination while
operating this equipment. Consult your doc-
tor about operating this machine while taking
prescription medications.
10. Never allow children or unauthorized people
to operate or be around this machine.
11. Plug appliances directly into generator or use
a heavy-duty outdoor-rated extension cord.
Make sure entire extension cord is free of cuts
or tears and the plug has all 3 prongs, espe-
cially a grounding pin.
12. If necessary to connect generator to house
wiring to power appliances, have a qualied
electrician install appropriate equipment. Or,
your utility company may be able to install an
appropriate transfer switch.
13. Keep the working area clean and free of de-
bris to prevent tripping. Operate only on level
ground.
14. To prevent a possible re, keep the generator
at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from building
walls and other equipment during operation.
Do not place ammable objects close to the
engine.
15. NEVER plug the generator into a wall outlet.
This practice, known as backfeeding, can
cause an electrocution risk to utility workers
and others served by the same utility trans-
former.
2.8 TRANSPORT SAFETY
1. Comply with Provincial / state and local laws
governing safety and transporting of machin-
ery on public roads.
2. Do not exceed a safe travel speed. Slow
down for rough terrain and cornering.
3. Do not transport or move the generator with
the engine running.
4. Inspect all access panels and guards to en-
sure they are secured.

engine to cool for at least 15 minutes before
loading the generator on the transport vehicle.
A hot engine and exhaust system can burn
you and may ignite some materials.
6. Ensure the fuel tank cap is on tight and keep
the generator level when transporting to re-
duce the possibility of fuel leakage.
7. Move the fuel valve lever to the OFF position.
8. When using ropes or tie-down straps to
secure the generator for transportation, be
sure to only use the frame bars as attachment
points. Do not fasten ropes or straps to any
portions of the generator body.
9. Do not drink and drive.
10. Just before transport, perform a circle check
to ensure everything is safe and secure.

2.9 BATTERY SAFETY
1. Wear gloves and safety glasses or face shield
when working on or near batteries.
2. Use a battery carrier to lift the battery or place
hands at opposite corners to avoid spilling
acid through the vents.
3. Avoid contact with battery electrolyte:
External Contact: Flush immediately with
water.
Eye Contact: Flush with water for 15 minutes.
Get prompt medical attention. Clean up any
spilled electrolyte immediately.
4. Avoid contact with battery posts, terminals
and related accessories, they contain lead
and lead compounds, chemicals known to
cause harm. Wash hands immediately after
handling battery.
5. Keep all sparks and ames away from batter-
ies, as gas given off by electrolyte is explo-
sive.
6. To avoid injury from spark or short circuit,
disconnect battery ground cable before servic-
ing any part of the electrical
system.
7. FROZEN BATTERIES CAN

2.11 ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. The generator produces
enough electric power to
cause a serious shock or
electrocution if misused.
2. Using a generator or
electrical appliance in wet
conditions (rain or snow),
or near a pool or sprinkler system, or when
your hands are wet, could result in electrocu-
tion. Keep the generator and the immediate
area dry.
3. If the generator has been outdoors, unprotect-
ed from the weather, check all of the electri-
cal components on the control panel before
each use. Moisture can cause a short circuit
in electrical components that could result in
electrocution.
4. Do not connect to a building’s electrical sys-
tem unless an transfer / isolation switch has
been installed by a qualied electrician.
5. NEVER tamper with the factory settings of
the engine or engine governor. Engine speed
controls frequency portion of the electrical out-
put (60hZ) Personal injury or damage to the
