OPERATION
SAFE OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
Before operating the generator for the firs
t time, review chapters
GENERATOR SAFETY (see page 6) and BEFORE OPERATION (see
page 26).
For your safety, do not operate the generator in an enclosed area such
as
a garage. Y
our generator’s exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide gas that can collect rapidly in an enclosed area and cause
illness or death.
Before connecting an AC appliance or power cord to the generator:
• Use grounded 3-prong extension cords, tools, and appliances, or
double-insulated tools
and appliances.
• Inspect cords and plugs, and replace if damaged.
• Do not use cord lengths greater than 164 feet (50 meters), and do
n
ot u
se multiple tools and appliances with built-in noise filters. Such
use may activate the GFCI and trip the circuit breaker.
• Make sure that the appliance is in good working order. Faulty
a
ppliances or power cord
s can create a potential for electric shock.
• Make sure the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not
exc
eed the rated power of the generator or the receptacle being used.
• Operate the generator at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from buildings
a
nd other equipment.
•
Do not operate the generator in an enclosed structure.
• Do not place flammable objects close to the engine or locate the
g
enerator nea
r flammable materials.
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide gas that can build up to
dangerous levels in closed areas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can
cau
se un
consciousness or death.
Never run the generator in a closed,
or even partly closed area where
people
may be present.
