1. SAFETY
The generators are designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according to
instructions. Read and understand this owner’s manual before operating your generator. You can
help prevent accidents by being familiar with your generator’s controls, and by observing safe
operating procedures.
Operator Responsibility
● Know how to stop the generator quickly in case of emergency.
● Understand the use of all generator controls, output receptacles and connections.
● Be sure that anyone who operates the generator receives proper instruction. Do not let children
operate the generator without parental supervision. Keep children and pets away from the area of
operation.
● Place the generator on a firm, level surface and avoid loose sand or snow. If the generator is
tilted or overturned, fuel spillage may result. Also, if the generator is overturned or sinks into a soft
surface, sand, dirt, or water may enter the generator.
Carbon Monoxide Hazards
● Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide. A colourless and odorless gas. Breathing exhaust
fumes can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.
● If you run the generator in an area that is confined or partially enclosed, the air you breathe could
contain a dangerous amount of exhaust gas. To keep exhaust gas from building up, provide
adequate ventilation.
Electric Shock Hazards
● The generator produces enough electric power to cause a serious shock or electrocution if
misused.
● Using a generator 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 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.
