Operation Manual

■ Keep away from cigarette, smoke and sparks when refueling the generator.
Always refuel in a well-ventilated location.
■ Wipe up spilled gasoline at once.
■ Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical system must be
made by a qualified electrician and must comply with all applicable laws and
electrical codes. Improper connections can allow electrical current from the
generator to back feed into the utility lines. Such back feed may electrocute
utility company workers or others who contact the lines during a power
outage, and when utility power is restored, the generator may explode, burn,
or cause fires in the building’s electrical system.
■ Always make a pre-operation inspection before you start the engine. You
may prevent an accident or equipment damage.
■ Place the generator at least 1 m away from buildings or other equipment
during operation.
■ Operate the generator on a level surface. If the generator is tiled, fuel
spillage may result.
■ Know how to stop the generator quickly and understand operation of all the
controls. Never permit anyone to operate the generator without proper
instructions.
■ Keep children and pets away from the generator when it is in operation.
■ Keep away from rotating parts while the generator is running.
■ The generator is a potential source of electrical shocks when misused; do
not operate with wet hands.
■ Do not operate the generator in rain or snow and do not let it get wet.
