Install battery-operated carbon
S
monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon
H
monoxide alarms with battery
back-up in your home, according
to the manufacturer's installation
instructions. The carbon monoxide
alarms should be certified to the
requirements of the latest safety
standards for carbon monoxide
alarms. (UL 2034, IAS 6-96, or CSA
6.19.01).
Test your carbon monoxide alarm fre-
quently and replace dead batteries.
3. Safety Warning When Refueling
Gasoline is extremely flammable
and its vapors can explode if ig-
nited.
Observe all safety regulations for
the safe handling of fuel. Handle
fuel in safety containers. If the con-
tainer does not have a spout, use a
funnel.
Do not overfill the fuel tank, leave
room for the fuel to expand.
Do not refill fuel tank while the
engine is running. Before refuel-
ing the unit, turn it off and let it
cool down. Gasoline spilled on hot
engine parts could ignite.
Fill the tank only on an area of
bare ground. While fueling the
tank, keep heat, sparks and open
flame away. Carefully clean up any
spilled fuel before starting engine.
Always fill fuel tank in an area with
plenty of ventilation to avoid
inhaling dangerous fumes.
NEVER store fuel for your unit
in the home. Gasoline, propane,
kerosene, and other flammable
liquids should be stored outside
of living areas in properly-labeled,

®
non-glass safety containers. Do not
store them near a fuel-burning
appliance, such as a natural gas
water heater in a garage. If the
fuel is spilled or the container is
not sealed properly, invisible vapors
from the fuel can travel along the
ground and can be ignited by the
appliance's pilot light or by arcs
from electric switches in the appli-
ance.
4. Electrical Hazards
This product must be grounded.
If it should malfunction or break-
down, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electric cur-
rent to reduce the risk of electric
shock.
DANGER
IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE
EQUIPMENT- Grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electrocution.
Check with a qualified electrician or
service person if you are in doubt
as to whether the unit is properly
grounded.
This unit is equipped with a
grounding terminal for your
protection. Always complete the
ground path from the unit to an
external ground source as instruct-
ed in the section labeled "Ground-
ing Instructions" in the Installation
section of this manual.
The unit is a potential source of
electrical shock if not kept dry.
Keep the unit dry and do not use in
rain or wet conditions. To protect
from moisture, operate it on a dry
surface under an open, canopy-like
structure. Dry your hands if wet
before touching the unit.
Plug appliances directly into the
unit. Or, use a heavy duty, outdoor-
rated extension cord that is rated
(in watts or amps) at least equal to
the sum of the connected appliance
loads. Check that the entire cord is
free of cuts or tears and that the
plug has all three prongs, especially
a grounding pin.
NEVER try to power the house wir-
ing by plugging the unit into a wall
outlet, a practice known as "back
2
feeding". This is an extremely danger-
ous practice that presents an elec-
trocution risk to utility workers and
neighbors served by the same utility
transformer. It also bypasses some of
the built-in household circuit protec-
tion devices.
If you must connect the unit to the
house wiring to power appliances,
have a qualified electrician install the
appropriate equipment in
accordance with local electrical codes.
Or, check with your utility company
to see if it can install an appropriate
power transfer switch.
For power outages, permanently
installed stationary units are better
suited for providing backup power to
the home. Even a properly connected
unit can become overloaded. This
may result in overheating or stressing
the unit components, possibly leading
to a unit failure.
5. Risk of Explosion or Fire
Serious injury or death may occur
from normal sparks in the engine
ignition system or engine exhaust/
muffler. Always operate the unit in a
well ventilated area free of
mable vapors, combustible dust, gases
or other combustible materials.
DO NOT SMOKE if spraying flamma-
ble material. Locate the unit at least
20 feet away from the spray area.
(An additional hose may be required.)
Injury or death may occur as a result
of improper fueling. Do not smoke
while filling engine fuel tank.
Warning: This product contains lead, a
chemical known to the State of California
to cause birth defects or other reproductive
harm.
Wash your hands after handling this product.
