Electrical Hazards
Electrocution. Contact with bare wires,
terminals, and connections while generator
is running will result in death or serious injury.
Electrocution. Water contact with a power source,
if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Electrocution. In the event of electrical accident,
immediately shut power OFF. Use non-conductive
implements to free victim from live conductor. Apply
first aid and get medical help. Failure to do so will
result in death or serious injury.
• The National Electric Code (NEC) requires
the frame and external electrically conduc-
tive parts of the generator be properly con-
nected to an approved earth ground. Local
electrical codes may also require proper
grounding of the generator. Consult with a
local electrician for grounding requirements
in the area.
• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter in any
damp or highly conductive area (such as
metal decking or steel work).
• Once generator has been started outside,
connect
electrical
cord(s) inside.
Fire Hazards
Explosion and Fire. Fuel and vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive. Add fuel in a well
ventilated area. Keep fire and spark away. Failure to
do so will result in death or serious injury.
Explosion and Fire. LP vapors are extremely flammable
and explosive. Do not use or store LP cylinder in a
building, garage, or enclosed area except as authorized
by NFPA 58 or B149.2 (Canada). Failure to do so will
result in death or serious injury.
Explosion and Fire. Do not overfill fuel tank. Fill to
1/2 inch from top of tank to allow for fuel expansion.
Overfilling may cause fuel to spill onto engine causing
fire or explosion, which will result in death or
serious injury.
Risk of fire. Allow fuel spills to completely dry
before starting engine. Failure to do so will
result in death or serious injury.
