Cancer and Reproductive Harm: www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

DANGER - Carbon Monoxide: Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless poison gas. Breathing it causes nausea, dizziness, fainting, or death. Operate outdoors only in a well-ventilated area. Never operate inside any building, including garages, basements, crawlspaces, sheds, or enclosures. Do not allow exhaust fumes to enter confined areas through windows, doors, or vents. Indoor operation CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.

DANGER - Electrical Hazard: Generator produces powerful voltage. Do not touch bare wires or receptacles. Do not use worn, damaged, or frayed electrical cords. Do not operate in wet weather. Do not allow children or unqualified persons to operate. Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in damp areas or areas with conductive material. Use approved transfer equipment to isolate the generator from your electric utility and notify your utility company before connecting.

WARNING - Sparks: Sparks can result in fire or electrical shock. When servicing, disconnect the spark plug wire and keep it away from the plug. Do not check for spark with the plug removed. Use only approved spark plug testers.

WARNING - Hot Surfaces: Running engines produce heat. Severe burns can occur on contact. Combustible material can catch fire. Do not touch hot surfaces or hot exhaust gases. Allow equipment to cool before touching. Maintain at least 3 ft. (91.4 cm) clearance on all sides for cooling and 5 ft. (1.5m) from combustible materials.

WARNING - Medical and Life Support: Never use this product to power life support devices or medical appliances. Inform your electricity provider if you or anyone in your household depends on electrical equipment to live.

WARNING - Fire Hazard: Operation may create sparks that can start fires around dry vegetation. A spark arrester may be required. Contact local fire agencies for regulations.

DANGER - Rotating Parts: Rotating parts can entangle hands, feet, hair, clothing, or accessories, leading to traumatic amputation or severe laceration. Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts. Tie up long hair and remove jewelry. Operate with guards in place. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or items that could become caught.

WARNING - Starter Cord: Rapid starter cord retraction can cause entanglement or injury. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly to avoid kickback. Do not start or stop the engine with electrical devices plugged in.

CAUTION - Overload: Exceeding generator capacity can damage the generator and connected devices. Do not overload. Start the generator and allow it to stabilize before connecting loads. Connect electrical equipment in the off position. Turn electrical equipment off before stopping the generator. Do not tamper with the governed speed or modify the generator.

CAUTION - Improper Use: Improper treatment can damage the generator and void the warranty. Use only for intended uses. Operate on level surfaces. Do not expose to moisture, dust, or dirt.

Fuel Safety

DANGER: Gasoline, gasoline vapors, and LPG are highly flammable and explosive, posing risks of severe burns or death. Unintentional startup can result in entanglement or injury.

Gasoline: Highly flammable and explosive. Vapors can ignite. It is a skin irritant. Gas has a distinctive odor to help detect leaks. In a gas fire, do not extinguish flames unless the fuel supply can be turned off to prevent explosion. Gas expands with temperature; never fill the tank to full capacity.

LPG (Propane): Highly flammable and explosive. Gas under pressure can cause fire or explosion. LPG is heavier than air and can settle in low places. It has an added odor for leak detection. Similar to gasoline, do not extinguish LPG fires unless the fuel supply can be turned off. Always keep LPG cylinders upright. LPG can cause skin burns.

Adding/Removing Gas: Turn off the generator and let it cool. Loosen the fuel cap slowly. Fill or drain fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Use approved containers. Do not overfill. Keep fuel away from ignition sources. Do not smoke.

Starting with Fuel: Do not attempt to start a damaged generator. Ensure all parts are in place. Allow spilled fuel to evaporate. Ensure the generator is on a level surface.

Operating: Do not move or tip the generator during operation. Do not spill fuel or oil.

Transporting/Servicing: Ensure the fuel shutoff valve is off and the tank is empty. Disconnect LPG cylinders. Disconnect the spark plug wire.

Storing: Store away from ignition sources. Do not store near furnaces, water heaters, or other ignition sources.

WARNING: Never use damaged fuel containers, hoses, tanks, or cylinders.
