safety
• Do not enclose the generator or cover it with a box. The generator has
a built-in forced air cooling system, and may become overheated if it is
enclosed. If generator has been covered to protect if from the weather
during non use, be sure to remove it and keep it well away from the area
during generator use.
• Operate the generator on a level surface. It is not necessary to prepare
a special foundation for the generator. However, the generator will
vibrate on an irregular surface, so choose a level place without surface
irregularities.
If the generator is tilted or moved during operation, fuel may spill and/or
the generator may tip over, causing a hazardous situation.
Proper lubrication cannot be expected if the generator is operated on a
steep incline or slope. In such a case, piston seizure may occur even if
the oil is above the upper level.
• Pay attention to the wiring or extension cords from the generator to the
connected device. If the wire is under the generator or in contact with
vibrating part, it may break and possibly cause a fire, generator burnout,
or electric shock hazard. Replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
• Do not operate in rain, in wet or damp conditions, or with wet hands.
The operator may suffer severe electric shock if the generator is wet due
to rain or snow. If wet, wipe and dry it well before starting. Do not pour
water directly over the generator, nor wash it with water.
• Be extremely careful that all necessary electrical grounding procedures
are followed during each and every use. Failure to do so can be fatal.
• NEVER try to power the house wiring by plugging the generator into a
wall outlet, a practice known as “back feeding”. This is an extremely
dangerous practice that presents an electrocution risk to utility workers
and neighbors served by the same utility transformer. It also bypasses
some of the built-in household circuit protection devices. If you must
connect the generator to the house wiring to power appliances, have a
qualified electrician install the appropriate equipment in accordance with
