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
