SAFETY MESSAGES

Electric Shock Hazards
WARNING
Generators produce powerful voltage that can cause
death or great physical harm.
• NEVER touch bare wires or receptacles.
• NEVER use generator with electrical cords that are
worn, frayed, bare, or otherwise damaged.
• NEVER operate generator in rain or snow, or when the
generator is set on wet surface.
• Exposed terminals, even on disconnected batteries,
can cause electric shock.
• NEVER touch both battery terminals with bare hands
at the same time.
• Remove rings, watches or any other object containing
metal when working with battery. If metal comes into
contact with battery terminals, electric shock and seri-
ous burns can result.
• Only use insulated/non-conducting tools when working
with or near battery.
• NEVER lay tools or other metal objects on top of bat-
tery.
Fire and Burn Hazards
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive under certain conditions.
• Refuel generator only outdoors, in a well-ventilated
area.
• NEVER enclose the generator in any structure.
• Keep generator at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from
buildings, other equipment, and combustible materials
during operation.
• NEVER fill fuel tank while the engine is running. Turn
generator OFF and allow to cool before filling with fuel.
• NEVER smoke or allow flames or sparks near the gen-
erator or where gasoline is stored.
• NEVER overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel in
the filler neck). After refueling, make sure the tank cap
is closed properly and securely.
• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel
or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, be sure
the area is dry before starting the engine.
• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or
breathing of vapor.
