2. Safety Information

Always prioritize safety when operating a generator. The GENARMOR cover is designed to facilitate safe operation in various weather conditions, but proper ventilation and placement are critical.

• Carbon Monoxide Hazard: Generators produce carbon monoxide (CO), an odorless, colorless, and deadly gas. NEVER operate a generator indoors or in partially enclosed spaces. Always ensure adequate ventilation. The GENARMOR cover is designed with ventilation features; ensure these are not obstructed.
• Fire Hazard: Ensure the generator's exhaust is clear of any flammable materials. Maintain proper distance from structures and other objects.
• Electrical Hazard: Keep all electrical connections dry. Use appropriate extension cords rated for outdoor use and the generator's output.
• Refueling: Always turn off the generator and allow it to cool before refueling. Spilled fuel can ignite.
• Stability: Ensure the generator and cover are placed on a stable, level surface to prevent tipping.
