&WARNING: This generator produces powerful voltage,
which
can
result
in
electrocution.
eALWAYS ground the generator before using it (see the "Grounding the Generator"
portion ofthe "PREPARING THE GENERATOR FOR
USE"
section).
eGenerator should only be plugged into electrical devices, either directly or with
an
extension cord. NEVER connect to abuilding electrical system without a.qualified
electrician. Such connections must comply with local electrical laws and codes.
Failure to comply can create abackflow of power, which may result in serious injury
or death to utility workers.
eUse aground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
in
highly conductive areas such as metal
decking or steel work. GFCIS are available in-line with some extension cords.
eDo not use
in
rainy
or
wet conditions.
eDo not touch bare wires

shorten its life.
•Use generator only for its intended purposes.
eOperate only on dry, level surfaces.
•Allow generator to run for several minutes before connecting electrical devices.
•Shut off and disconnect any malfunctioning devices from generator.
•Do not exceed the Wattage capacity ofthe generator by plugging
in
more electrical
devices than the unit can handle (see "PRECAUTIONS-OVERLOADING THE
GENERATOR").
•Do not turn on electrical devices until after they are connected to the generator.
•Turn off all connected electrical devices before stopping the generator.
