GENERAL SAFETY PROCEDURES
For any questions regarding the hazard and safety notices listed in this manual or on the
product, please call
[phone] M-F 8-5 CST before using the generator.
DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE. Using a generator indoors CAN KILL
YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison gas you
cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing CO.
But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.
x NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed
areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan or
opening windows and doors does NOT supply enough fresh air.
x ONLY use a generator outside and far away from windows, doors, and vents. These
openings can pull in generator exhaust.
Even if you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-
powered or battery-backup CO alarm in the home.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been running, move to fresh
air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING
: The exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
WARNING: This generator may emit highly
flammable and explosive gasoline vapors, which can
cause severe burns or even death, if ignited. A nearby open flame can lead to
explosion even if not directly in contact with gasoline.
x Do not operate near open flame.
x Do not smoke near generator.
x Always operate on a firm, level surface.
x Always turn generator off before refueling. Allow generator to cool for at least 2
minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.
x Do not overfill fuel tank. Gasoline may expand during operation. Do not fill to the
top of the tank. Allow for expansion.
x Always check for spilled fuel before operating.
x Empty fuel tank before storing or transporting the generator.
x Before transporting, turn fuel valve to off and disconnect spark plug cap.
