ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR GENERATORS
Do not force the generator. Use the correct generator for your application. The correct generator will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the generator if the engine switch does not turn it on and off. Any generator that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Know exactly how to use the generator correctly. Be thoroughly familiar with proper use of the equipment
and all engine controls, output receptacles, and connections. Know how to stop the engine quickly (see
“Stopping the Generator”).
Instruct operators. The engine owner must instruct all operators in safe engine set-up and operation.
Only trained adults should set up and operate the engine – Do not let children operate.
Intended use. Carefully read about and understand the intended use of this engine. Do not use for other
purposes, as unforeseen hazards or equipment damage may result.
Never operate, or let anyone else operate the generator while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or
medication.
Do not operate the generator with damaged, missing, or broken parts.
Do not modify the generator in any way. Modifications can create serious safety hazards and will also
void the warranty.
Never attempt to modify the generator speed setting. The generator speed is preset for safe and optimal
performance of the generator. If speed needs adjusting, it must be done by factory authorised personnel.
Never attempt to connect external fuel sources in order to increase generator run time. Larger tank at
pressure or higher elevation will cause to leak from carburetor during operation. Fire or explosion could
result.
Always turn off generator and remove spark plug(s) or spark plug wire(s) before working on the
generator to prevent accidental starting. Always discharge the capacitor before working on the generator
head to prevent electrical shock. (See Maintenance & Repair section of this manual for instructions on
how to do this.)
The running of a generator gives off carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can kill you. You CANNOT
smell it, see it, or taste it. Follow all instructions for site selection and positioning the generator, and
avoid inhaling the exhaust. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using the generator, shut off the
generator and get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
