Do not touch the spark plug while the engine is operating or shortly after 
the engine has been shut down.

1.2 AC SAFETY 

WARNING!

Before connecting the generator to an electrical device or power cord: 

 

 

Make sure that everything is in proper working order. Faulty devices or 
power cords can lead to an electrical shock. 

 

 

Turn off the generator immediately if the device begins to operate 
abnormally. Then disconnect the device and investigate the problem. 

 

 

Make sure that the electrical rating of the device does not exceed 
that of the generator. If the power level of the device is between the 
maximum output power and the running power of the generator, the 
generator should not be used for more than 30 minutes. 

 

 

Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical system must 
be done by a qualified electrician and must comply with all applicable 
laws and electrical codes. Improper connections may cause serious 
injuries to electrical workers during a power outage, and when the 
utility power is restored, the generator may explode or cause fires. The 
generator shall be connected through transfer equipment that switches 
all conductors other than the equipment grounding conductor. The 
frame of the generator shall be connected to an approved grounding 
electrode. 

 

 

For power outages, permanently installed stationary generators are 
better suited for providing backup power to the home. Even a properly 
connected portable generator can become overloaded. This may result 
in overheating or stressing the generator components, possibly leading 
to a generator failure. 

1.3 MAINTENANCE SAFETY 

WARNING!

 

 

After any maintenance is performed, wash immediately using soap and 
clean water because repeated exposure to lubricant may cause skin 
irritation. 

 

 

Do not clean the filter element with flammable liquids like gasoline 
because an explosion may occur. 

 

 

Turn off the engine before performing any maintenance. Failure to do so 
can cause severe personal injury or death. 

 

 

Allow the generator set to cool down before performing any
