SAFETY
GASOLINE AND GASOLINE VAPOR (GAS)
Fire and explosion hazard. Gasoline is highly explosive
and flammable and can cause severe burns or death.
•
In case of a gas fire,
DO NOT
attempt to extinguish
the flame if the fuel tank valve is in the ON position.
Introducing an extinguisher to a generator with an open
fuel valve could create an explosion hazard.
• Gas has a distinctive odor, this will help detect potential
leaks quickly.
•
Gas vapors can cause a fire if ignited.
• Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up
immediately if it comes in contact with the skin.
When starting the generator:
•
Make sure that the fuel cap, air filter, spark plug, fuel
lines, and exhaust system are properly in place.
• If you spill any gasoline on the tank, allow it to fully
evaporate before operating.
When transporting or servicing the generator:
• Disconnect the spark boot to prevent accidental starting.
When storing the generator:
•
Store away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat,
and other sources of ignition.
•
DO NOT
store gasoline near furnaces, water heaters,
or any other appliances that produce heat or have
automatic ignitions.
GFCI
The generator is equipped with Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) receptacles. In the event of a ground
fault, a GFCI trips automatically to stop the flow of electricity
and prevent serious injury. The green indicator light (A)
on the receptacle will also turn off. Push the “RESET” (B)
button located on the front of the receptacle to restore the
flow of electricity. The indicator light will turn back on. GFCI
does not protect against circuit overloads.
To check the proper operation of a GFCI receptacle:
1.
With the generator running, plug a lamp into the GFCI
receptacle. Turn the lamp on.
2.
Press the “TEST” (C) button located on the front of the
receptacle to trip the device. This should immediately
stop the flow of electricity and shut off the lamp. If the
electricity is not stopped,
DO NOT
use this receptacle
until it has been serviced or replaced.
3.
Press the “RESET” button located on the front of the
receptacle to restore the flow of electricity. If the indicator
light does not come back on or if the GFCI cannot be
reset then it must be replaced.
NOTICE
Some stationary motors, such as a bathroom vent fan,
fluorescent lighting fixtures or some refrigerators, may
produce enough current leakage to cause nuisance
tripping. To avoid nuisance tripping, a GFCI should not
supply: fluorescent or other types of electric-discharge
lighting fixtures or permanently installed electric motors,
like air conditioners, furnaces or refrigerators.
