OPERATION
Generator Location
WARNING
NEVER operate the generator inside any building, garage,
basement, crawlspace, shed, enclosure or compartment,
including a generator compartment of a recreational vehicle.
NEVER operate or start the generator in the back of an
SUV, camper, trailer, truck bed (regular sides, flat or other
configuration), under staircases, stairwells, next to walls
or buildings or in any other location that will not allow for
adequate cooling of the generator or for the proper exit of
the exhaust flow from the muffler system.
DO NOT operate or store the generator in wet weather
conditions such as rain or snow. Using a generator in wet
conditions could result in serious injury or death due to
electrocution.
In some state’s generators may be required to be registered
with the local utility company when used at construction
sites and may be subject to additional rules and regulations,
consult your local municipal authority.
Generators should always be operated on a flat, level
surface at all times (even when not in operation).
Generators must have a minimum of 5 feet (1.5 m) of
clearance from all combustible material.
Generators must also have a minimum of 3 feet (91.4 cm)
of air flow clearance on all sides to allow for adequate
performance cooling, maintenance and servicing.
Always place the generator in a well-ventilated area. NEVER
place the generator near air intake vents or where exhaust
fumes could be drawn into occupied or confined spaces.
Always carefully consider wind and air currents when
positioning generator.
Always allow generators to properly cool before transport or
for storage purposes.
Failure to follow proper safety precautions may result in
personal injury, damage to the generator and void the
manufacturer’s warranty.
WARNING
During operation the muffler and exhaust fumes will become
hot. If adequate cooling and breathing space are not supplied,
or if the generator is blocked or enclosed, temperatures can
become extremely heated and may lead to fire.
