Owner’s Manual General Precautions (cont’d) Fuel and Oil (cont’d) • Do not smoke, or allow sparks, flames or other sources of ignition around the engine and fuel tank. Fuel vapors are explosive. • Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live electrical parts and connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These events could ignite fumes or vapors. • Do not refill the fuel tank while the engine is running or while the engine is still hot.
1200W Generator General Precautions (cont’d) Work Area • Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. • Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Generators create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. • Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a generator. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
Owner’s Manual General Precautions (cont’d) Electrical Safety (cont’d) • All connections and conduits from the generator to the load must only be installed by trained and licensed electricians, and in compliance with all relevant local, state, and federal electrical codes and standards, and other regulations where applicable. • The generator must be earth-grounded for fixed installations in accordance with all relevant electrical codes and standards before operation.
1200W Generator General Precautions (cont’d) Personal Safety (cont’d) • Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the power switch is in its “OFF” position, and disconnect the spark plug wire when not in use. • Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the generator on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the generator may result in personal injury. • Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. • Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Owner’s Manual General Precautions (cont’d) Servicing Maintain labels and name plates on the generator and engine. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact All-Power immediately for a replacement. Generator service must be performed only qualified repair personnel.

1200W Generator Installation NOTE: PRIOR TO POWERING TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT MAKE SURE THE GENERATOR’S RATED VOLTAGE, WATTAGE AND AMPERAGE CAPACITY IS ADEQUATE TO SUPPLY ALL ELECTRICAL LOADS THAT THE UNIT WILL POWER. IF POWERING EXCEEDS THE GENERATOR’S CAPACITY, IT MAY BE NECCESSARY TO GROUP ONE OR MORE OF THE TOOLS AND/OR EQUIPMENT FOR CONNECTION TO A SEPERATE GENERATOR. Electrical and other permits may be required for the installation of emergency power systems.
Owner’s Manual Installation (cont’d) Supporting and Mounting Mount the generator on a concrete slab capable of supporting the weight of the generator. The slab must extend on all sides beyond the frame by at least one foot. Contact a cement contractor for slab specifications if necessary. Attach the frame to the concrete slab using 3/8” diameter expansion anchor bolts (not supplied).
