WARNING
Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction)
will pull hand and arm toward engine
faster than you can let go which could
cause broken bones, fractures, bruises,
or sprains resulting in serious injury.
• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid
kickback.
• NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices
plugged in and turned on.
DANGER
Fuel and its vapor are extremely flammable and
explosive. Add fuel in a well ventilated area. Keep
sparks, open flames and other ignition sources away.
Failure to do so will result in death and serious injury.
DANGER
Do not overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion. If
fuel spills wait until it evaporates before starting
engine. Failure to do so will result in death and
serious injury.
WHEN ADDING OR DRAINING FUEL
• Turn generator engine OFF and let it cool at least 2
minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap
slowly to relieve pressure in tank.
• Fill or drain fuel tank outdoors.
• DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel
expansion.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting
engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot
lights, heat, and other ignition sources.
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently
for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
NOTICE
DO NOT lay the generator on its side when moving,
storing or operating. Oil may leak and damage the
engine or your property.
WHEN STARTING EQUIPMENT
• Ensure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap, and air
cleaner are in place.
• DO NOT crank engine with spark plug removed.
WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT
• DO NOT operate this product inside any building,
carport, porch, mobile equipment, marine
applications, or enclosure.
• DO NOT tip engine or equipment at angle which
causes fuel to spill.

"Start" position.
WHEN TRANSPORTING, MOVING OR REPAIRING
EQUIPMENT

causes fuel to spill.
• Disconnect spark plug wire.
WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL
IN TANK
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters,
clothes dryers, or other appliances that have pilot
light or other ignition source because they could
ignite fuel vapors.
DANGER
Generator voltage could cause electrical
shock or burn will result in death or
serious injury.
DANGER
Never use generator in wet or damp
locations. Never expose generator to
rain, snow, water spray while in use.
Protect generator from all hazardous
weather conditions. Moisture, or ice
can cause a short circuit or other
malfunction in the electric circuit. Water
contact with a power source if not
avoided, will result in death or serious
injury.
