READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE GENERATOR.
Use of worn, damaged, undersized
or ungrounded extension cords.
Placing generator on or against
highly conductive surface, such as
a steel walkway or metal roof.
Improper connection of items to
generator.
Operation of unit when damaged,
or with guards or panels removed.
Contact with worn or damaged
extension cords could result in
electrocution.
Use of undersize extension cords
could result in overheating of the
wires or attached items, resulting in
fire.
Use of ungrounded cordsets could
prevent operation of circuit breakers
and result in electrical shock.
Accidental leakage of electrical
current could charge conductive
surfaces in contact with the generator.
Exceeding the load capacity of the
generator by attaching too many
items, or items with very high load
ratings to it could result in overheating
of some items or their attachment
wiring resulting in fire or electrical
shock.
Attempting to use the unit when it has
been damaged, or when it is not
functioning normally could result in
fire or electrocution.
Removal of guarding could expose
electrically charged components and
result in electrocution.
Inspect extension cords before
use and replace with new cord if
required.
Use proper size (wire gauge)
cordset for application see chart in
the Assembly section of this
manual.
Always use a cordset having a
grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug. DO NOT use an
ungrounded plug.
Place generator on low conductiv-
ity surface such as a concrete
slab.
ALWAYS operate generator a
minimum of six feet from any
conductive surface.
Read the load rating chart and
instructions in the Wattage Calcu-
lation section. Make sure that the
summation of electrical loads for
all attachments does not exceed
the load rating of the generator.
Do not operate generator with
mechanical or electrical problem.
Have unit repaired by an Autho-
rized Service Center.
Do not operate generator with
protective guarding removed.
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION AND FIRE (cont’d)
HAZARD HOW TO PREVENT IT WHAT COULD HAPPEN
Operation of generator in rain,
wet, icy, or flooded conditions. Water is an excellent conductor of
electricity! Water which comes in
contact with electrically charged
components can transmit electricity to
the frame and other surfaces, resulting
in electrical shock to anyone contact-
ing them. Operate generator in a clean, dry,
well ventilated area. Make sure
hands are dry before touching unit.
