GENERAL WARNINGS & DISCLAIMER
READ and UNDERSTAND this manual completely before
using the engine. Failure to properly set up, operate and
maintain this engine could result in serious injury or death from
carbon monoxide poisoning, electric shock, fire/explosions or
burns. In particular be aware of the following hazards:
CD Poisoning
Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odourless, colourless
poisonous gas that can kill you. You CANNOT smell it, see it or

8
taste it. ONLY run an engine OUTDOORS and AWAY from
building air intakes. NEVER run an engine inside any
enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces, including homes,
basements, garages, sheds, boxes, RV’s, boats or pick-up
truck beds. These spaces can trap poisonous gases, EVEN if
you run a fan or open windows.
Electric Shock / Electrocution
High voltage electricity from the generator can kill. DO NOT
operate in wet locations or conditions. Be sure the generator is
properly grounded. Use only outdoor rated grounded
extension cords of proper size.
NEVER plug the generator directly into a wall plug outlet.
ANYconnection to a building’s electrical system MUST
ISOLATE THE GENERATOR FROM UTILITY POWER via a
transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician. Otherwise,
back-feed from the generator into the power grid could kill
utility workers. See “Set up as a building back-up” on page 13
for additional information.
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

9
indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (-) first. Reconnect the
cable last.
HEAT
Unintentional spark can result in fire or electric shock.
FIRE / EXPLOSION
DO NOT overload the engine (per rate capacity) and
OPERATE ONLY in an area with adequate cooling ventilation
so the engine does not overheat. The exhaust can be
extremely hot. Keep the muffler at least 3 metres from all
combustible objects.
All fuels are flammable. Never fuel a running or hot engine.
Never pump fuel directly into the engine at a petrol station –
use an approved container to transfer the fuel. Ensure that
there are no fuel leaks and keep sources of sparks and flames
away. Wait for the engine to be cool before fuelling. ALWAYS
keep a fire extinguisher rated “ABC” nearby.
STOP!
CHOOSE THE RIGHT GENERATOR FOR YOUR NEEDS.
See the Power Load Planning and Management section to
determine your power load requirements and then compare to

10
the generator’s rate capacity.
INSPECT COMPONENTS
Closely inspect to make sure that there are not any
components missing or damaged.
ARRANGE FOR PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION of a
transfer switch if you will be connecting the generator to your
building’s system.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES FOR OPERATION
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
This equipment is to be used for the purpose for which it is
designed and intended.
Seek assistance if required when moving or lifting the
generator.
