CAUTION: Misuse of this generator can damage it or shorten its life.
Only use generator for its intended purposes.
Operate only on dry, level surfaces.
Allow generator to run for several minutes before connecting electrical devices.
Shut off and disconnect any malfunctioning devices from generator.
Do not exceed the wattage capacity of the generator by plugging in more electrical devices than the unit

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains important instructions for the PowerSmart®
1500W generator that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the generator.
Generators vibrate in normal use. During and after the use of the generator, inspect both the generator as
well as extension and power supply cords for damage resulting from vibration. Have damaged items
repaired or replaced as necessary. Do not use plugs or cords that show signs of damage such as broken or
cracked insulation.
For power outages, permanently installed stationary generators are better suited for providing backup
power to the home. Even a properly connected portable generator can become overloaded. This may
result in overheating or stressing of the components, possibly leading to a generator failure.
WARNING: If this generator is used as a supply for a building’s wiring system, the generator
must be installed by a qualified electrician and connected to a transfer switch as a separately
derived system in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. The generator
shall be connected to a transfer switch that switches all conductors excluding the equipment grounding
conductor. The frame of the generator shall be connected to an approved grounding electrode.
