SAFE OPERATION
4
EXHAUST GASES & FIRE PREVENTION
¡ Engine exhaust fumes can be very harmful if
allowing them to accumulate. Be sure to run the
engine in a well ventilated place and where there
are no people or livestock near the generator.
¡ DO NOT operate the generator in a closed area
such as inside houses, warehouses, tunnels,
wells, ship holds, tanks, etc. or places without
proper ventilation.
¡ DO NOT operate the generator where the building
or other obstructions block off air circulation or
where exhaust gas can accumulate.
¡ The exhaust gas from the muffler is very hot. To
prevent a fire, DO NOT expose to dry grass,
papers, oil and any other combustible materials
to exhaust gas. Also, keep the engine and muffler
clean at all times.
¡ To avoid fire, be alert for leaks of flammables
from hoses and lines. Be sure to check for leaks
from hoses or pipes, such as fuel and engine oil
by following the maintenance check list.
¡ To avoid a fire, DO NOT short across power cables
and wires.
Check to see that all power cables and wiring are
in good condition.
¡ Keep all power connections clean and tight. Bare
wire or frayed insulation can cause a dangerous
electrical shock and personal injury.
HANDS AND BODY AWAY FROM THE ROTATING PARTS
¡ DO NOT operate the generator with the side
covers removed or open. Serious personal injury
may result if fingers or clothing are caught in the
rotating parts.
¡ Be sure to stop the engine before checking or
adjusting belt tension and cooling fan.
¡ To avoid personal injury, keep your hands and
body away from the rotating parts, such as
cooling fan, V-belt, fan drive V-belt, pulleys or
flywheel.
¡ DO NOT run the engine with installed safety
guards detached. Install safety guards securely
before operation.
