INTENDED USE

The generator is designed to supply electrical power for
operating compatible electrical lighting, appliances, tools,

components.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors can kill
you in minutes.
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon
monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or
smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are
breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust,
you could be breathing CO.
■ Never use a generator inside homes, garages,
crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly
levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas.
Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT
supply enough fresh air.
■ Only use a generator outdoors and far away from open
windows, doors, and vents. These openings can pull in
generator exhaust.
■ Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may
leak into the home. Always use a battery-powered or
battery-backup CO alarm in the home.
■ If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the
generator has been running, move to fresh air right
away. See a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide
poisoning.
WARNING
Read and understand all instructions. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electrocution, fire, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning,
which will cause death or serious injury.
WARNING
Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified
electrician to comply with the intended use of the generator.
