Original instructions

Safety, performance, and dependability have been given 
top priority in the design of your low-power generating set.

INTENDED USE

The generator is designed to supply electrical power for 
operating compatible electrical lighting, appliances, tools, 
and motor loads.
Do not use the product to provide power for emergency 
medical equipment or life support devices.
Do not use the product to jump start vehicles. Doing so 
could result in damage to the vehicle or its electrical 
components.
Do not use the product for any other purpose.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 DANGER

Carbon Monoxide

. Using a generator indoors can 

cause death in minutes.
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon 
monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or 
smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are 
breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, 
you could be breathing CO.

Ŷ

Never use the generator inside homes, garages, 
crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly 
levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. 
Using a fan or opening windows and doors does not 
supply enough fresh air.

Ŷ

Only use the generator outdoors and far away from 
open windows, doors, and vents. These openings can 
pull in generator exhaust.

Even when you use the generator correctly, CO may leak 
into your home. Always use a battery-powered or battery-
backup CO alarm in your home.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator 
has been running, move to an area with fresh air right 
away. See a physician. You could have a carbon monoxide 
poisoning.

 WARNING

Read and understand all instructions

. Failure to 

follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric 
shock, fire, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning, which 
will cause death or serious injury.

 WARNING

Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified 
electrician to comply with the intended use of the 
 generator.
