•ThinkSAFETY!WorkSAFELY!
A
• Read and understand operator's manual before starting. Review safety instruc-tions annually.
• Stop and disable engine, remove ignition key and place in your pocket and wait for all moving parts to stop before servicing, adjusting or repairing.
• To prevent electrical shocks, do not operate this genera-tor in the rain or with wet hands. It should be grounded in damp or highly conductive conditions.
• Close and secure all guards, deflectors and shields before starting and operating.
• Do not connect the generator to a commercial power line.
• Do not operate with damaged or defective extension cords, or power cords. Never operate any electrical equipment with damaged or defective cords.
• Do not operate this generator in areas with poor ventila-tion. The exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a poisonous, odorless, invisible gas. Prolonged exposure can lead to unconsciousness and death.
• Do not refuel the engine while it is in operation or still hot. Do not refuel the engine near open flames, pilot lights or sparking electrical devices (e.g. power tools, welders or grinders). Do not operate the generator near flammable products.
• The engine should be refuelled in a well-lit area. Avoid fuel spillage.
• Never allow children or unauthorized people to operate or be around this machine.
• Keep the working area clean and free of debris to prevent tripping. Operate only on level ground.
• Do not cover the generator while in operation. Overheat-ing can result in damaged equipment.
• For storage, do not cover the generator until it has cooled down completely.
• The ambient temperature should not exceed 100° F/40° C.
