GENERAL HAZARDS
•
NEVER
operate
in
an
enclosed area,
in
a vehicle, or indoors
EVEN
IF
doors and windows are open.
• For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends that the
maintenance
of
this equipment
is
carried out by
an
Authorized
Dealer. Inspect the generator regularly, and contact the nearest
Authorized Dealer for parts needing repair or replacement.
• Operate generator only on level surfaces and where it will not be
exposed
to
excessive moisture, dirt, dust or corrosive vapors.
• Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive belts, fans, and
other moving parts. Never remove any fan guard or shield while
the unit is operating.
• Certain parts
of
the generator get extremely hot during
operation. Keep clear
of
the generator until it has cooled to
avoid sever burns.
•
DO
NOT operate generator
in
the rain.
•
DO
not alter the construction
of
the generator
or
change
controls which might create
an
unsafe operating condition.
• Never start
or
stop the unit with electrical loads connected to
receptacles AND with connected devices turned ON. Start the
engine and let it stabilize before connecting electrical loads.
Disconnect
all
electrical loads before shutting down the generator.
•
DO
NOT insert objects through unit's cooling slots.
• When working on this equipment when physically or mentally
fatigued.
• Never use the generator or any
of
its parts
as
a step. Stepping
on the unit can stress and break parts, and may result
in
dangerous operating conditions from leaking exhaust gases,
fuel leakage, oil leakage, etc.
NOTE:
This
generator
may
be
equipped
with
a
spark
arrestor
muffler.
The
spark
arrestor
must
be
maintained
in
effective
working
order
by
the
owner/operator.
In
the
State
of
California,
a
spark
arrestor
is
required
by
law
(Section
4442
of
the
California
Public
Resources
Code).
Other
states
may
have
similar
laws.
Federal
laws
apply
on
federal
lands.
EXHAUST & LOCATION HAZARDS
• NEVER operate
in
an enclosed area or indoors! NEVER use
in
the home,
in
a vehicle, or
in
partly enclosed areas such as
garages, EVEN IF doors and windows are open! ONLY use
outdoors and far from open windows, doors, vents, and in an
area that will not accumulate deadly exhaust.
ADANGER
Using
a
generator
indoors
CAN
KILL
YOU
IN
MINUTES.
Generator
exhaust
contains
carbon
monoxide.
This
is
a
poison
you
cannot
see
or
smell.
NEVER
use
inside
a
home
or
garage,
EVEN
IF
doors
and
windows
are
open.
o-
➔
Only
use
OUTSIDE
and
far
away
from
windows,
doors,
and
vents.
• The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which
you cannot see
or
smell. This poisonous gas, if breathed
in
sufficient concentrations, can cause unconsciousness
or
even death.
• Adequate, unobstructed flow
of
cooling and ventilating air
is
critical
to
correct generator operation. Do not alter the
installation
or
permit even partial blockage
of
ventilation
provisions, as this can seriously affect safe operation
of
the
generator. The generator MUST be operated outdoors.
• This exhaust system must be properly maintained. Do nothing
that might render the exhaust system unsafe
or
in
noncompliance with any local codes and/or standards.
• Always use a battery operated carbon monoxide alarm indoors,
installed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has
been running, move to fresh air
IMMEDIATELY.
See a doctor,
as
you could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
• The generator produces dangerously high voltage when
in
operation. Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals,
connections, etc., while the unit
is
running, even
on
equipment
connected
to
the generator. Ensure
all
appropriate covers,
guards and barriers
are
in
place before operating the generator.
• Never handle any kind
of
electrical cord or device while
standing
in
water, while barefoot or while hands or feet are wet.
DANGEROUS
ELECTRICAL
SHOCK
MAY
RESULT.
• The National Electric Code
(NEC)
requires the frame and
external electrically conductive parts
of
the generator be
properly connected to
an
approved earth ground. Local
electrical codes may also require proper grounding
of
the
generator. Consult with a local electrician for grounding
requirements
in
the area.
• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter
in
any damp
or
highly
conductive area (such as metal decking or steel work).
• Do not use worn, bare, frayed or otherwise damaged electrical
cord set with the generator.
• 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 indicated by a
NEGATIVE,
NEG
or(-)
first. Reconnect
that cable last.
•
In
case of accident caused by electric shock, immediately shut
down the source
of
electrical power. If this is not possible,
attempt to free the victim from the live conductor.
AVOID
DIRECT
CONTACT
WITH
THE
VICTIM.
Use a non-conducting implement,
such as a rope
or
board,
to
free the victim from the live
conductor. If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid and get
immediate medical help.
