GENERATOR SAFETY
9
Electric Shock Hazards
The generator produces enough electric power to cause a serious shock or
electrocution if misused.
• Do not use in wet conditions. Keep the generator dry.
– Do not use in the rain or snow.
– Do not use near pool or a sprinkler system.
– Do not use when your hands are wet.
• If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the weather, check all
of the 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.
• Do not connect to a building’s electrical system unless an isolation switch has
been installed by a qualified electrician.
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 any
type of vehicle, trailer, boat, or other equipment during operation.
– Do not enclose the generator in any structure.
– Keep flammable materials away from the generator.
– Generators with standard equipment transport wheels must not be
operated with the wheels and/or stands removed.
– Do not block intake or exhaust vents, hoses, ports, or restrict air into or
away from generator.
– Do not add, remove, or modify covers, panels, cowlings, or straps.
• The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a while
after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot.
Let the engine cool before storing the generator.
• Do not pour the water directly on the generator to put out the fire when it
occurs. Use an appropriate fire extinguisher specially designed for electric fire
or oil fire.
