DANGER
CARBON MONOXIDE
Using a generator indoors WILL KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
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 batterypowered 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.
WARNING! THE EXHAUST CONTAINS POISONOUS CARBON MONOXIDE
GAS THAT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND MAY LEAD TO
DEATH.
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.

Owner’s Manual
General Precautions (cont’d)
Gasoline and Oil (cont’d)
• F uel 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.
• Do not smoke, or allow sparks, flames or other sources of ignition around the engine and fuel tank. Fuel vapors are explosive.
• Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live electrical parts and connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These events could ignite fumes or vapors.
• Do not refill the fuel tank while the engine is running or while the engine is still hot. Do not operate the generator with known leaks in the fuel system
• Excessive buildup of unburned fuel gases in the exhaust system can create a potentially
explosive condition. This buildup can occur after repeated failed start attempts, valve testing, or hot engine shutdown. If this occurs, open exhaust system drain plugs, if equipped, and allow the gases to dissipate before attempting to restart the generator.
• Use only engine manufacturer recommended fuel and oil.
Fuel:
r unleaded gasoline with a minium octane rating of 90.
Oil:
Oil capacity is 0.62 qt(0.6 L)

General Precautions (cont’d)
Work Area
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Generators create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a generator. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
Electrical Safety
• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs.
• Grounding provides a low-resistance path to carry electricity away from the user in the event of an electrical malfunction.
• Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug where one blade is wider than the other. This plug fits in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet.
Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three-wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Do not expose generator to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a generator will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the power cord. Keep power cords away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged power cords immediately. Damaged power cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”.
These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of electric shock.
