GENERATOR SAFETY

Electric Shock Hazards

• The generator produces enough electric power to cause a serious

shock or electrocution if misused.

• Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet conditions, such as

rain

or snow, or near a pool or sprinkler system, or when your hands

are wet, could result in electrocution. Keep the generator dry.

• If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the weather,

check the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (

GFCI) receptacle and all

other electrical components on the control panel before each use.

Moisture or ice can cause a malfunction or short circuit in electrical

components that could result in electrocution.

Fire and Burn Hazards

• The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials.

– Keep the generator at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from buildings

and other equ

ipment during operation.

– Do not enclose the generator in any

structure.

– Keep flammable materials away from the generator.

• The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a

ile after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler

while it is hot. Let the engine cool before storing the generator

indoors.
