Risk of electrocution and fire
Hazard
What could happen
How to prevent it
Improper storage of
extension cord
.
Extension cord can come into contact with hot engine parts
resulting in damage. Using a damaged extension cord can result in
electrocution or death.
Remove extension cord from the generator
and store separately away from generator.
Operation of generator in
rain, wet, icy, or flooded
conditions.
Water is an excellent conductor of electricity! Water, which comes
in contact with electrically, charged components could transmit
electricity to the frame and other surfaces, resulting in electrical
shock to anyone contacting them.
Operate generator in a clean, dry,
well-ventilated area. Make sure hands are dry
before touching unit.
Placing generator on or
against highly conductive
surface, such as a steel
walkway or metal roof.
Accidental leakage of electrical current could charge conductive
surfaces in contact with the generator.
Place generator on low conductivity surface
such as a concrete slab. ALWAYS operate
generator a minimum of 2 meters from any
conductive surface.
Use of worn, damaged or
ungrounded extension
cords.
Contact with worn or damaged extension cords could result in
electrocution. Use of ungrounded corsets could prevent operation
of circuit breakers and result in electrical shock.
Inspect extension cords before use and
replace with new cord if required. Always use a
corset having a grounding wire with an
appropriate grounding plug. DO NOT use an
ungrounded plug.
Operation of unit when
damaged, or with guards or
panels removed.
Attempting to use the unit when it has been damaged, or when it is
not functioning normally could result in fire or electrocution.
Removal of guarding could expose electrically charged components
and result in electrocution.
Do not operate generator with mechanical or
electrical problem. Have unit repaired by an
Authorized Service Center .Do not operate
generator with protective guarding removed.
