Safety Information - Honda EB12D Owner's Manual

SAFETY INFORMATION
Honda generators are designed to give safe and dependable service if
operated according to instructions. Read and understand this owner's
manual before operating your generator. You can help prevent accidents
by being familiar with your generator's controls, and by observing safe
operating procedures.
Operator Responsibility
l
Know how to stop the generator quickly in case of emergency. Unders-
tand the use of all generator controls, output receptacles, and
connections.
l
Be sure that anyone who operates the generator receives proper in-
struction. Do not let children operate the generator without parental
supervision.
Electric Shock Hazards
l
The generator produces enough electric power to cause a serious shock
or electrocution if misused.
l
Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet conditions, such as rain
or snow, or near a pool or sprinkler system, or when your hands are
wet, could result in electrocution. Keep the generator dry.
l
If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the weather,
check the Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), and all other
electrical components on the control panel, before each use. Moisture
or ice can cause a malfunction or short circuit in electrical components
which could result in electrocution.
l
Do not connect to a building's electrical system unless an isolation
switch has been installed by a qualified electrician.
l
Do not connect to swimming pool equipment installed before
adoption of the 1965 national electric code.
