• Generators produce carbon monoxide — a poisonous,
colorless, odorless gas that can cause death or serious
injury.
• Always operate on a level surface.
• Keep away from rain, snow or other wet condions
• Keep away from ammable materials when refueling.
• Do not run generator for extended periods with no
load or minimal load (eg. when charging baeries or

Radios). This may cause premature spark plug failure,
excessive carbon build up or high oil consumpon. To
prevent this, run the generator periodically with an
increased load (More than 50% of generator capacity).
