Item # GEN85KIDF Portable Dual Fuel Invertor Generator  

 

 

 

                                                                                      

 

Powerful Voltage:

 

This generator produces powerful voltage, which can result in electrocution.

 

• ALWAYS ground this generator before using it. (See “Ground the Generator” section in this manual). 

• Only electrical devices should be plugged into this generator, either directly or with an extension cord. NEVER connect a building electrical 
system to this generator without a qualified electrician.

 

Doing so voids your warranty

.

 Such connections must isolate generator power from utility 

power and comply with local electrical laws and codes. Failure to comply can create a back feed into utility lines creating an electrocution hazard, 
which may result in serious injury or death to utility workers. Such a back feed may cause this generator to explode, burn and create fires when 
utility power is restored. 
• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in highly conductive areas such as metal decking or steel work. GFCIs are available in-line with some 

extension cords. 
• Keep generator dry and operate with dry hands. Do not use this generator in wet conditions (rain, snow, active sprinkler system, wet hands, etc.).  
• Do not touch bare wires or outlets (receptacles). 
• Do not allow children or non-qualified persons to operate this generator. 

 

                                                                                       

 

Flammable Gasoline:

 

This generator may emit highly flammable and explosive gasoline vapors, which can cause severe burns or even 

death. A nearby open flame can lead to an explosion even if not directly in contact with gasoline. 

• Do not operate this generator near open flame. 
• Do not smoke near this generator. 

• Always operate this generator on a firm, level surface. 

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

• Always shut down this generator before refueling. Refuel in a well-ventilated area. Keep heat, sparks and flame away while refueling and away 
from the location where gasoline is stored. Never refuel indoors where gasoline fumes may reach flames and/or sparks. 
• Allow this generator to cool for at least 2 minutes before removing the fuel tank cap. Loosen the cap slowly to relieve pressure in the fuel tank. 
Avoid spilling fuel. 

• Do not fill the fuel tank above the upper limit line. Gasoline may expand during operation. Do not fill to the top of the tank. 
• Always check for spilled gasoline and immediately wipe it up before starting this generator. 
• Empty the fuel tank before storing or transporting this generator. 
• Always handle fuel outdoors. 
• Before transporting, turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position and disconnect the spark plug. 
 

                                                                                    

 

High Temperatures:

 

This generator produces heat when in operation. Temperatures near the exhaust can exceed 150 Degrees 

Fahrenheit (65 Degrees Celsius).

 

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Observe all warning placards on this generator denoting hot surfaces. 

• Allow this generator to cool for several minutes after use before touching the engine, muffler or other areas that are hot during operation and 
before storing indoors. 
• Hot exhaust may ignite some materials. Keep flammable materials away from this generator. 
• Keep at least several feet of clearance on all sides of this generator during operation. Do not enclose this generator in any structure. 
 

                                                                                     

 

Usage:

 

Consult a physician(s) before using this generator if using a pacemaker.

 Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart 

pacemaker could cause a pacemaker to malfunction or fail. Caution is necessary when near the engine’s recoil starter. 
 

                                                                                     

 

Usage:

 

Prolonged exposure to high noise levels can be hazardous to hearing. 

Always wear ANSI-approved hearing protection when 

operating or working around the generator when it is running. 

 

                                                                                     

 

Usage:

 

Misuse of this generator can damage it or shorten its life.

 Use this generator only for its intended purpose. 

• Operate this generator only on a dry, level surface. Do not secure the generator with a chain or rope, which would prevent it from being moved in 
an emergency. 
• Allow this generator to run for several minutes before connecting any electrical devices. 
• Promptly turn off any malfunctioning devices and disconnect them. 

• Do not operate an excessive number of electrical devices in excess of the wattage capacity of this generator. 
• Do not turn on electrical devices until 

after 

they are connected to this generator. 

• Turn off all connected electrical devices before stopping this generator.
