SAFETY RULES
RISK OF ASPHYXIATION
DO NOT OPERATE THIS
GENERATOR WITHIN AN ENCLOSED AREA. THE EXHAUST
GASES OF THIS GENERATOR EMIT “DEADLY” CARBON
MONOXIDE. EXPOSURE TO CARBON MONOXIDE CAN
CAUSE CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, HEADACHES,
NAUSEA, SEVERE SICKNESS OR DEATH.
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION OR SHOCK
THIS GENERATOR SET PRODUCES
ELECTRICAL CURRENT. THEREFORE, SAFETY
GUIDELINES MUST BE FOLLOWED. IMPROPER USE OF
THIS GENERATOR CAN RESULT IN ELECTROCUTION,
INJURY OR DEATH. DO NOT OPERATE, SERVICE OR
REPAIR THIS GENERATOR UNLESS FULLY QUALIFIED TO
DO SO.
THIS GENERATOR SET IS
DESIGNED TO BE OPERATED IN DRY CONDITIONS AND
FOR OUTDOOR AREAS ONLY. NEVER OPERATE THIS
GENERATOR INDOORS. NEVER OPERATE THIS
GENERATOR IN RAIN, SNOW, SLEET OR GENERALLY WET
CONDITIONS. DAMAGE TO THE GENERATOR, BODILY
INJURY, OR DEATH COULD RESULT FROM
ELECTROCUTION.
IF THIS GENERATOR IS CONNECTED
TO A BUILDING, HOME, BUSINESS, OR ANY OTHER
ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT NORMALLY FED BY UTILITY
POWER, STEPS MUST BE TAKEN TO INSURE THE
GENERATOR OUTPUT AND THE UTILITY POWER ARE
POSITIVELY ISOLATED. THIS IS TYPICALLY
ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH THE USE OF A PROPERLY
INSTALLED TRANSFER SWITCH. FAILURE TO ISOLATE
THE UTILITY AND GENERATOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
WILL RESULT IN GENERATOR DAMAGE AND COULD
RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO UTILITY WORKERS DUE
TO THE BACKFEED OF ELECTRICITY.
ENGLISH INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY
Certain States and Jurisdictions require that engine driven
equipment be fitted with spark arresting mufflers. Depending
on the generator model, spark-arresting mufflers may or
may not be fitted. If spark-arresting mufflers are required for
your location and the generator muffler is not spark
arresting, contact your local dealer for instructions for a
retrofit.
SPARK ARRESTING MUFFLER
