Notice Regarding Emissions: 

Engines certified to comply with U.S. EPA emission regulations for SORE (Small Off Road Equipment) are certified to operate on  
regular unleaded gasoline and may include the following emission control systems: Three-Way Catalyst (TWC) (if equipped), and Engine 
Modifications (EM). 

 

Legal Requirements: 

Federal and/or State Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, local codes, and/or ordinances may apply to the 
intended use of this generator. Consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, and/or the local agency having jurisdiction. Some areas require 
generators to be registered with local utility companies. Additional regulations may apply if this generator will be used at a construction site. 

 

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

 

STOP!

 

Before using this generator and if you have any questions regarding the hazard and safety notices listed in this manual and/or on this 
generator, call 1-866-460-9436, Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 4 PM Central Time. 
 

 

                                                                                      

 

WARNING:

  

If this generator will be connected to a building electrical system, you must consult your local utility company or a qualified 

electrician. Connections must isolate generator power from utility power and must comply with all applicable laws and codes.

 

You are 

responsible for ensuring that your generator’s electricity does not feed back into the electric utility power lines. Do not plug the 
generator into any electric outlet in your home.

 

 

                                                                                      

 

WARNING:

  

Do not use this generator to provide power for emergency medical equipment or life support devices

.

 

 

                                                                                     

 

Carbon Monoxide Gas:

 

When in operation, the exhaust from this generator contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas. Carbon monoxide 

gas is both odorless and colorless AND may be present even if you do not see or smell gas. Breathing this poison gas can lead to 
headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, loss of consciousness and eventually death. 

 

 

                                                                                    

 

Propane (LPG):

 

This generator may emit highly flammable and explosive vapors, which can cause severe burns or even death. A nearby 

open flame can lead to an explosion even if not directly in contact the fuel. 

• Do not operate this generator near open flame. 
• Always operate this generator on a firm, level surface. 

This fuel is highly flammable and explosive. Handling fuel can result in serious injury or burns.

 

• Before starting the generator, inspect your LPG tank valve for damage or leaks, attach only approved tanks that have been properly filled by an 
approved station. DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.  
Replace the hose at the first sign of a leak or if age-cracking becomes apparent.

 

• Always handle propane fuel and generator outdoors. 

• Before transporting, turn the fuel valve to the "off" position and disconnect the spark plug. 

 

                                                                                      

 

WARNING:

  ONLY USE THIS GENERATOR OUTDOORS IN NON-CONFINED AREAS. DO NOT SECURE THE GENERATOR WITH A CHAIN 

OR ROPE, AS THIS WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO MOVE IN AN EMERGENCY. 

• Keep at least several feet of clearance on all sides to allow proper ventilation for this generator. 
 
 

                                                                                    

 

Usage:

 

Avoid the use of extension cords if possible. 

If you choose to use them, be sure they are sized adequately to handle the flow of 

electricity. An undersized cord can overheat, short out and cause a fire.
