ELECTRICIAN FOR 120V / 240V WIRING WARNING
IF THERE IS ANY QUESTION ABOUT A CONDITION BEING SAFE OR UNSAFE, DO NOT OPERATE THIS PRODUCT!
Always follow Warning labels placed on the generator, and read and follow all Warning labels included inside the Product Manual.
WARNING: NEVER use a generator inside a home or a garage, EVEN IF the doors and windows are open.
ONLY USE OUTSIDE and far way from windows, doors and vents leading into an enclosed area.
Using a generator indoors can kill you in minutes. The generator produces an exhaust that contains carbon monoxide.
This is a poison you cannot see or smell.
Do not attach a chain or rope to secure the generator to a post as this can be difficult to remove in the event of an emergency.
DO NOT CONNECT electrical devices until AFTER the generator is started.
ATTENTION ALERT!
This generator includes a built-in Carbon Monoxide Warning Alert! The generator will automatically shut-off if dangerous levels of Carbon Monoxide is detected.
Warning
Carbon monoxide (also known as CO) can be dangerous for humans and pets. Carbon monoxide poisoning can lead to death in a very short time. It is called “the silent killer” because it is odorless, tasteless and invisible: you may be exposed without knowing it.
NOTE: The indicator will light RED and the engine will shutdown if dangerous Carbon Monoxide levels are detected. The engine will not restart for 5 minutes. If an error in the carbon monoxide system is detected, the indicator will blink YELLOW and the engine will shutdown for five minutes. MOVE TO FRESH AIR AND GET MEDICAL HELP IF SICK, DIZZY OR WEAK. MOVE GENERATOR TO AN OPEN, OUTDOOR AREA.
POINT EXHAUST AWAY. DON’T RUN GENERATOR IN ENCLOSED AREA (E.G. NOT IN HOUSE OR GARAGE).
