Electric Shock Hazards - Honda EU70is Owner's Manual

GENERATOR SAFETY

Electric Shock Hazards

The generator produces enough electric power to cause a serious
shock or electrocution if misused.
• Do not use in wet conditions. Keep the generator dry.
– Do not use in the rain or snow.
– Do not use near a pool or a sprinkler system.
– Do not use when your hands are wet.
• If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the weather, all
of the electrical components on the control panel before each use.
Moisture or ice can cause a malfunction or short circuit in electrical
components that could result in electrocution.
• Do not connect to a building's electrical system unless an isolation
switch has been installed by a qualified electrician.
• For parallel operation, use only a Honda approved parallel kit (optional
equipment) when connecting one EU70is to another EU70is
generator.
• Never connect different generator models.
Fire and Burn Hazards
The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials.
• Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from buildings and
other equipment during operation.
• Do not enclose the generator in any structure.
• Keep flammable materials away from the generator.
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a
while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler
while it is hot. Let the engine cool before storing the generator indoors.
