IMPORTANT PRODUCT SAFETY
Please review these important safety warnings, cautions and notes in order to assure safe and
effective use of your generator in wet weather.
WARNING
Always shut generator off before any fueling or maintenance procedures.
WARNING
Never position the refueling door on the same side of the generator as the exhaust muffler.
Spilled gasoline can result in fire.
WARNING
Never block or cover the generator exhaust muffler in any way. GenTent canopy must be
installed above generator exhaust muffler. Install GenTent electrical skirts such that they cannot
block exhaust in any way. Keep the GenTent canopy at least 6 inches away from direct contact
with the exhaust.
WARNING
Always install included washer between the knob and the clamp base. Tightening the
knob without using the washer VOIDS the WARRANTY as it risks breakage.
CAUTION
Over tightening clamps should be avoided. If you notice the mouth of the clamp pulling aware
from the frame, the clamping strength has been reduced and the knob should be loosened.
CAUTION
Always grasp fiberglass rods firmly during installation to avoid the whipping motion that can
occur when a bent fiberglass rod is mistakenly released.
CAUTION
Avoid using your portable generator in hurricane force winds above 70mph.
NOTE
Should generator handles cause significant stretching of the elastic straps when extended, it is advisable
to release the elastics straps on the handle side of the generator before extending generator handles.
NOTE
Should GenTent cover block pull starter, it is advisable to release the elastic straps on the pull starter side
and temporarily move GenTent canopy out of the way.
NOTE
When using GenTent during snow storms, it is recommended to periodically brush away any accumulation
that blocks the top vent.
