Additional Safety Information

Operator Responsibility

! Know how to stop the generator quickly in case of emergency. See page 19.

! Understand the use of all generator controls, output receptacles and connections.

! Do not let children operate the generator without parental supervision.

Electric Shock Hazards

! The generator produces enough electric power to cause a serious shock or electrocution if

misused.

! Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet conditions, such as rain or snow, or near a

pool or sprinkler system, or when your hands are wet, could result in electrocution. Keep the

generator dry.

! If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the weather, check all of the electrical

components on the control panel before each use.

! Moisture or ice can cause a malfunction or short circuit in electrical components, which

could result in electrocution.

! Do not connect to a building electrical system unless a qualified electrician has installed an

isolation switch.

Fire and Burn Hazards

! The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials.

• Keep the generator at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from buildings and other equipment

during operation.

• Do not enclose the generator in any structure. Keep flammable materials away from the

generator.

! The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a while after stopping

the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot. Let the engine cool before

storing the generator indoors.

! Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Do not smoke or

allow flames or sparks where the generator is refueled or where gasoline is stored. Refuel in

a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.

! Fuel vapors are extremely flammable and may ignite after the engine has started. Make sure

that any spilled fuel has been wiped up before starting the generator.
