SAFETY MESSAGES
There may be several specific safety messages on
your generator. Please become familiar with all safety
messages.
Ensure that all safety messages are legible. Clean the
safety messages or replace the safety messages if the
words cannot be read or if the illustrations are not
visible. Use a cloth, water, and soap to clean the
safety messages. Do not use solvents, gasoline, or
other harsh chemicals. Solvents, gasoline, or harsh
chemicals could loosen the adhesive that secures the
safety messages.
Replace any safety message that is damaged or
missing. If a safety message is attached to a part of
the generator that is replaced, install a new safety
message on the replacement part.
Read the Manual
Do not operate or work on this generator unless you
have read and understand the instructions and
warnings in the Owner’s Manual. Failure to follow the
instructions or heed the warnings could result in
injury or death. Proper care is your responsibility.
Hot Surface / Do Not Touch / Flammable
Material
Hot parts or hot components can cause burns or
other personal injury. Do not allow hot parts or
components to contact your skin. Use protective
clothing or protective equipment to protect your skin.
Hot exhaust presents a potential fire hazard. Be sure
that nothing flammable is within 1.5 meters of the
exhaust.
Carbon Monoxide
Operating a generator indoors can kill you in minutes.
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is a poison that you cannot see or
smell. Never operate a generator inside a home or
garage, even if doors and windows are open. Only
operate a generator outdoors and away from
windows, doors, and vents. Always direct engine
exhaust away from occupied structures. If anyone
experiences dizziness, headaches, nausea, or
tiredness get to fresh air immediately and seek
medical attention. Ventilate the area thoroughly
before again occupying it.
The carbon monoxide shutoff system (if equipped) is
not a substitute for safe generator operation. Do Not
adjust or modify the carbon monoxide shutoff system.
Failure to follow instructions can cause the system to
malfunction which can result in hazardous conditions.
DANGER
PELIGRO
Utiliser un générateur à
l’intérieur PEUT VOUS TUER EN
QUELQUES MINUTES. Les gaz
d’échappement du générateur
contiennent du monoxyde de
carbone. C’est un gaz toxique
invisible et inodore.
 NE JAMAIS utiliser à l’intérieur
d’une maison ou d’un garage,
MÊME SI les portes et les
fenêtres sont ouvertes.
 Utiliser UNIQUEMENT à
l’EXTÉRIEUR et loin des
fenêtres, portes et ventilations.
Si usa un generador en
interiores, MORIRA EN POCOS
MINUTOS. El escape del
generador contiene monóxido
de carbono. Es un veneno que
no tiene olor ni se puede ver.
 NUNCA lo use dentro de una
casa o garaje. AUN si las
puertas y vantanas están
abiertas.
 Sólo úselo en EXTERIORES
y lejos de ventanas, puertas y
ductos de ventilación.
