1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■Our generators are designed to give safe and
dependable service if operated according to these
instructions.
Read and understand the owner's manual before
operating the generator. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury or equipment damage.
■Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide.
Never run the generator in an enclosed area.
Be sure to provide adequate ventilation.
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and
remains hot for several minutes after stopping the
engine.
Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot.
Let the engine cool before storing the generator indoors.
The engine exhaust system will be heated during
operation and remain hot immediately after stopping the
engine.
To prevent burns, pay attention to the warning marks
attached to the generator.
The generator must be operated outside with
adequate ventilation.
It cannot be operated in an enclosed compartment of any
vehicleorgaragearea.

To ensure safe operation:
■Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under
certain conditions. Refuel in a well ventilated area with
the engine stopped.
■Keep away from smoking materials, sparks and other
sources of combustion when refueling the generator.
Always refuel in a well-ventilated location.
■Wipe up spilled gasoline at once.
■Restrict use of the generator in high-hazard risk areas.
■Connections for standby power to a building's electrical
system must be made by a qualified electrician and must
comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
Improper connections can allow electrical current from
the generator to back feed into the utility lines. Such
back feed may electrocute utility company workers or
others who contact the lines during a power outage, and
when utility power is restored, the generator may
explode, burn, or cause fires in the building's electrical
system. This generator is not designed to be connected
to an automatic transfer switch. Serious damage to the
engine and inverter module may result.
■Always make a pre-operation inspection before you
start the engine.
■Place the generator at least three feet or one meter away
from buildings or other equipment during operation.
■Operate the generator on a level surface to prevent fuel
spillage or oil starvation.
■Know how to stop the generator quickly and understand
operation of all the controls. Never permit anyone to
operate the generator without proper instructions. Keep
children and pets away from the generator when it is in
operation.
- 6 -
■Never operate the generator with the door open or any
panels removed. Do not operate in any enclosure such
as an RV compartment.
■Keep away from rotating parts while the generator is
running.
■The generator is a potential source of electrical shocks
when misused; do not operate with wet hands.
■Do not operate the generator in rain or snow or let it get
wet.
