Product Manual

taste it. ONLY run an engine OUTDOORS and AWAY from

building air intakes. NEVER run an engine inside any

enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces, including homes,

basements, garages, sheds, boxes, RV’s, boats or pick-up

truck beds. These spaces can trap poisonous gases, EVEN if

you run a fan or open windows.

Electric Shock / Electrocution

High voltage electricity from the generator can kill. DO NOT

operate in wet locations or conditions. Be sure the generator is

properly grounded. Use only outdoor rated grounded

extension cords of proper size.

NEVER plug the generator directly into a wall plug outlet.

ANY connection to a building’s electrical system MUST

ISOLATE THE GENERATOR FROM UTILITY POWER via a

transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician. Otherwise,

back-feed from the generator into the power grid could kill

utility workers. See “Set up as a building back-up” on page 13

for additional information.

BEFORE performing any maintenance on the generator,

disconnect the engine starting battery (if equipped) to prevent

accidental start-up. Disconnect the cable from the battery post
