General Precautions
WARNING! Failure to follow these instructions can result in severe injury or death.
Carbon Monoxide
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous 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.
· 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.
· ONLY use a generator outdoors and far away from open windows, doors, and vents. These openings can
pull in generator exhaust.
Even when 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 could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
Gasoline and Oil
This product requires oil and fuel. Attempting to start the engine without oil will ruin the engine and void the
warranty. Work in well ventilated area. Keep cigarettes, flames or sparks away from the work area or where
gasoline is stored.
WARNING! Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Keep out of
reach of children.
Gasoline fuel and fumes are flammable and potentially explosive. Use proper fuel storage and handling
procedures. Always have multiple ABC class fire extinguishers nearby.
Keep the generator and surrounding area clean at all times.
Fuel or oil spills must be cleaned up immediately. Dispose of fluids and cleaning materials as per any local,
state, or federal codes and regulations. Store oily rags in a covered metal container.
• Never store fuel or other flammable materials near the generator.
