When refueling the generator, keep it away from cigarettes, open flames,
smoke and/or sparks.
Place the generator at least 10 feet away from buildings or other
equipment during operation.
Run the generator on a level surface. Tilting the generator may result in
fuel spills.
Know how to stop the generator quickly and understand operation of
all the controls. Never permit anyone to operate the generator without
proper instructions.
Keep children, pets and machinery with rotating parts away during
operation.
Do not operate the generator in rain or snow.

1.2 AC SAFETY
WARNING!
Before connecting the generator to an electrical device or power cord:
Make sure that everything is in proper working order. Faulty devices or
power cords can lead to an electrical shock.
Turn off the generator immediately if the device begins to operate
abnormally. Then disconnect the device and investigate the problem.
To prolong engine life, make sure that the combined load of your devices
does not exceed the rated running wattage of the generator.
Connections for standby power to a building's electrical system must be
done by a qualified electrician and must comply with all applicable laws
and electrical codes. Improper connections may cause serious injuries to
electrical workers during a power outage, and when the utility power is
restored, the generator may explode or cause fires. The generator shall
be connected through transfer equipment that switches all conductors
other than the equipment grounding conductor. The frame of the
generator must be connected to an approved grounding electrode.
Electrical devices that require a grounded receptacle pin connection will
not function if the receptacle ground pin is not functional.
