ENGINE SAFETY
Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation and fueling! Failure to follow the
safety guidelines described below could result in severe injury or death. Read and follow all safety
warnings described in the engine operator's manual. A copy of this manual was supplied with unit when it
was shipped from the factory. DO NOT run engine indoors or in an area with poor ventilation unless exhaust hoses are used.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly, odorless and colorless gas which, if inhaled,
can cause nausea, fainting or death. Make sure engine exhaust cannot seep into closed rooms or
ventilation equipment. DO NOT fill fuel tank near an open flame, while smoking, or while engine is running. DO NOT fill tank
in an enclosed area with poor ventilation. DO NOT operate with the fuel tank cap loose or missing. DO NOT touch or lean against hot exhaust or engine parts. DO NOT clean air filter with gasoline or other types of low flash point solvents. Keep hands, feet and loose clothing away from moving parts on the generator and engine. If equipped with electric start, generator batteries contain sulfuric acid which can cause severe injury
or death. Sulfuric acid can cause eye damage, burn flesh or eat holes in clothing. Protective eye
wear and clothing are necessary when working on or around the battery. Always disconnect the
NEGATIVE (-) battery cable from the corresponding terminal before performing any service on the
engine or other components.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
