Note: We supply the engine owner’s manual
with generator. Refer to that manual for ques
-
tions concerning engine operation.
DANGER: Never connect gen-
erator to any existing electrical
circuits. The generator output will
back-feed into the utility power
line. This may electrocute a power
company line repair person. Also,
if generator is powering electrical
circuits, the chance of an electri
-
cal fire exists.
DANGER: Use only in well-
vented areas. Make sure area
has plenty of free-moving, fresh,
outside air. Never run generator
in an enclosed or confined area.
Never run generator inside oc-
cupied building. Engine exhaust
contains poisonous carbon
monoxide gas. Overexposure will
cause loss of consciousness and
will lead to death.

insulated items. Do not overload receptacles.
All generators (except model MGR2900) have
