READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE GENERATOR.
Operation of generator in rain, wet,
icy, or flooded conditions.
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.
Water is an excellent conductor of elec-
tricity! Water which comes in contact
with electrically charged components
can transmit electricity to the frame and
other surfaces, resulting in electrical
shock to anyone contacting them.
Contact with worn or damaged exten-
sion cords could result in electrocution.
Use of undersize extension cords could
result in overheating of the wires or at-
tached items, resulting in fire.
Use of ungrounded cordsets could pre-
vent 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 gen-
erator 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 result-
ing in fire or electrical shock.
Attempting to use the unit when it has
been damaged, or when it is not func-
tioning normally could result in fire or
electrocution.
Removal of guarding could expose
electrically charged components and
result in electrocution.
Operate generator in a clean, dry,
well ventilated area. Make sure
hands are dry before touching unit.
Inspect extension cords before use
and replace with new cord if re-
quired.
Use proper size (wire gauge) cordset
for application see chart in the As-
sembly 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 in-
structions in the Wattage Calcula-
tion 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 me-
chanical or electrical problem. Have
unit repaired by an Authorized Ser-
vice Center.
Do not operate generator with pro-
tective guarding removed.
