WARNING:
When this generator is used to supply a building
wiring system: generator must be installed by a quali-
fied electrician and connected to a transfer switch as
a separately derived system in accordance with NFPA
70, National Electrical Code. The generator shall be
connected through a transfer switch that switches all
conductors other than the equipment grounding con-
ductor. The frame of the generator shall be connected to
an approved grounding electrode. Failure to isolate the
generator from power utility can result in death or injury
to electric utility workers.
 Do not use this generator to provide power for emergency
medical equipment or life support devices.
 Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a color-
less, odorless gas. Breathing exhaust can cause loss
of consciousness and can lead to death. If running in a
confined or partially-enclosed area, the air may contain
a dangerous amount of carbon monoxide. To keep ex-
haust fumes from building up, always provide adequate
ventilation.
 Always use a battery-powered carbon monoxide detec-
tor when running the generator. If you begin to feel sick,
dizzy, or weak while using the generator, shut it off and
get to fresh air immediately. See a doctor. You may have
carbon monoxide poisoning.
 Place the generator on a flat, stable surface with a slope
of no more than 4°.
 Operate in a well-ventilated, well-lit area isolated from
working areas to avoid noise interference.
 Operating the generator in wet conditions could result in
electrocution. Keep the unit dry.
 Keep the generator a minimum of 3 feet away from all
types of combustible material.
 Do not operate generator near hazardous material.
 Do not operate generator at a gas or natural gas filling
station.
 Do not touch the muffler or cylinder during or immediately
after use; they are HOT and will cause burn injury.
 This generator has a neutral bonded condition. This
means the neutral conductor is electrically connected to
the frame of the machine.
 Do not allow the generator’s gas tank to overflow when
filling. Fill to 1 in. below the top neck of the gasoline tank
to allow for fuel expansion. Do not cover the fuel tank cap
when the engine is running. Covering the fuel tank cap
during use may cause engine failure and/or damage to
the tool.
 Do not smoke when filling the generator with gasoline.
 Shut down the engine and allow to cool completely before
adding gasoline or lubricant to the generator.
 Do not remove the oil dipstick or the fuel tank cap when
the engine is running.
 Pay close attention to all safety labels located on the
generator.
 Keep children a minimum of 10 feet away from the gen-
erator at all times.
 The unit operates best in temperatures between 23°F and
104°F with a relative humidity of 90% or less.
 Specific modifications for high-altitude performance are
needed if the generator will
always be operated at alti-
tudes above 5,000 feet. Contact your nearest authorized
service center for more information and to have these
modifications performed.
 Operating voltage and frequency requirement of all
electronic equipment should be checked prior to plug-
ging them into this generator. Damage may result if the
equipment is not designed to operate within a +/- 10%
voltage variation, and +/- 3 Hz frequency variation from
the generator name plate ratings. To avoid damage, al-
ways have an additional load plugged into the generator
if solid state equipment (such as a television set) is used.
A power line conditioner is recommended for some solid
state applications.
 For outdoor use only.
 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use
them to instruct others who may use this product. If you
loan someone this product, loan them these instructions
also.
 Maintain the unit per maintenance instructions in this
Operator’s Manual.  Inspect the unit before each use for loose fasteners, fuel
leaks, etc. Replace damaged parts.
