Operators Manual
English – 7
• Do not use worn, bare, frayed or otherwise damaged electrical cord sets with the gen-
erator.
• Before performing any maintenance on the generator, disconnect the engine starting
battery (if equipped) to prevent accidental start up. Disconnect the cable from the bat-
tery post indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (–) rst. Reconnect that cable last.
• In case of accident caused by electric shock, immediately shut down the source of
electrical power. If this is not possible, attempt to free the victim from the live conductor.
AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a non-conducting implement, such
as a rope or board, to free the victim from the live conductor. If the victim is uncon-
scious, apply rst aid and get immediate medical help.
FIRE HAZARDS
• Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors are EXPLOSIVE. Do not permit smok-
ing, open ames, sparks or heat in the vicinity while handling gasoline.
• Never add fuel while unit is running or hot. Allow engine to cool completely before
adding fuel.
• Never ll fuel tank indoors. Comply with all laws regulating storage and handling of
gasoline.
• Do not overll the fuel tank. Always allow room for fuel expansion. If tank is over-lled,
fuel can overow onto a hot engine and cause FIRE or an EXPLOSION. Never store
generator with fuel in tank where gasoline vapors might reach an open ame, spark or
pilot light (as on a furnace, water heater or clothes dryer). FIRE or EXPLOSION may
result. Allow unit to cool entirely before storage.
• Wipe up any fuel or oil spills immediately. Ensure that no combustible materials are left
on or near the generator. Keep the area surrounding the generator clean and free from
debris and keep a clearance of ve (5) feet on all side to allow for proper ventilation of
the generator.
• Do not insert objects through unit’s cooling slots.
• Do not operate the generator if connected electrical devices overheat, if electrical out-
put is lost, if engine or generator sparks or if ames or smoke are observed while unit is
running.
• Keep a re extinguisher near the generator at all times.
