Safety Information

CAUTION
PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS MANUAL COMPLETELY, BEFORE OPERATING THIS GENERATOR.

Never operate the engine in an enclosed area, All gasoline engines produce carbon monoxide gas while running. Breathing exhaust fumes can kill. Operate the engine in a well-ventilated area, only.

Extract from CPSC Document #5008 on Carbon Monoxide
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued the following warning regarding carbon monoxide poisoning:

•  Do not use portable heaters or lanterns while sleeping in enclosed areas such as tents, campers, and other vehicles. This is especially important at high altitudes, where the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning is increased.
•  Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, and confusion. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in loss of consciousness and death
•  See a doctor if you or a member of your family develops cold or flu-like symptoms.
• Carbon monoxide poisoning can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, and is often detected too late.
•  Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
•  Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mothers and children during pregnancy, infants the elderly, smokers, and people with blood or circulatory system problems, such as anemia, or heart disease. Fuel Is Highly Flammable
• DO NOT refuel while the engine is running.
• DO NOT refuel near sparks or open flame.
• DO NOT smoke while refueling.
• ALWAYS allow the engine and muffler to cool before refueling.
• Refuel ONLY in a well-ventilated area.
• DO NOT over-fill gas tank
• Engine And Muffler Get Very Hot
• Keep flammable materials at least 3 feet from the generator.
• When in use, place the generator in an area where children are not likely to touch it. Electric Shock Hazard
• DO NOT operate in rain or snow, or next to a body of water.
• DO NOT touch with wet hands.
• Be sure to USE GROUNDED PLUGS with the generator.
