Before Starting
System Ground
You must connect the ground wire to a metal stake, spike or screw in the
earth before using the generator.
Follow any federal or state Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) regulations, local codes or ordinances that apply to the intended
use of the generator. Consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector or
the local agency having jurisdiction.
In some areas, you must register your generator with local utility companies.
Generators used at construction sites may have additional regulations.
Fuel/Oil Mix
Do not operate this generator using gasoline alone or the engine will
overheat! Use a fuel/oil mix of 50 to 1. The oil must be 2-stroke oil.
Make sure to pour the fuel/oil mix through the fuel tank filter to keep
solid material out of the fuel tank. Do not fill the fuel tank above the
fuel filter top. Shake the fuel tank before starting. Avoid repeated or
prolonged contact with skin or breathing of fuel vapor.
WARNING
Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flammable and can be
explosive in certain conditions. Fire or explosion can cause severe
burns or death.
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool before adding any fuel/oil
mix. Refill the tank outdoors. Remove the gas cap slowly to relieve any
pressure inside the tank. Keep sparks, flames, heat and other ignition
sources away while adding or storing oil and fuel. Do not light a cigarette
or smoke when refueling. Wipe up any fuel spills.
WARNING
Improper connections to a building's electrical system can allow
electrical current from the generator to backfeed into utility lines.
This backfeed may electrocute utility compan
y workers or others
who contact the lines during a power outage. Consult the utility
company or a qualified electrician.
CAUTION
Improper connections to a building's electrical system can allow
electrical current from the utility company to backfeed into the
generator. When utility power is restored, the generator may explode,
burn or cause fires in the building's electrical system.
Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in any damp or highly
conductive area, such as metal decking or steel work. Do not touch
bare wires or receptacles. Do not use the generator with electrical cords
that are worn, frayed, bare or damaged in any way. Do not operate the
generator in the rain. Do not handle the generator or electrical cords
while standing in water, while barefoot or while hands or feet are wet.
Do not allow childr
en or unqualified people to operate the generator.
