Personal Safety

Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a

generator. Do not use generator while tired or under the influence of drugs,

alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating generators may

result in serious personal injury.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep

your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry,

or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the power switch is in its “OFF” position

and disconnect the spark plug wire when not in use.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the generator on. A

wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the generator may result

in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Wear ANSI approved safety

impact eye goggles. Dust mask, non-

skid safety shoes, hardhat, or hearing

protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

Do not force the generator. Use the correct generator for your application. The

correct generator will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is

designed.

Do not use the generator if the power switch does not turn it off. Any

generator that cannot be controlled with the power switch is dangerous and must

be replaced.

Generator Use and Care

Make sure the power switch is in its “OFF” position and disconnect the spark

plug wire before making any adjustment,

changing accessories, or storing the

generator. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the

generator accidentally.

Store idle generators out of reach of children and other untrained persons.

Generators are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain generators with care. Do not use a damaged generator. Tag damaged

generators “Do not use” until repaired.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, broken parts, and any other

condition that may affect the generator’s o

peration. If damaged, have the

generator serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained

generators.
