GENERAL SAFETY RULES WARNING! READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WORK AREA 1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. 2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the pres- ence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Generators create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. 3. Keep bystan

7. Do not expose Generator to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a generator will increase the risk of electric shock. 8. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Keep Power Cords away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Dam- aged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock. 9. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of electric

9. The supporting floor/ground surface should be level, and strong enough to safely hold the weight of the Generator. If the floor/ground surface is not level, strong cross members should be placed under the full length of the Generator Frame at its low side. 10. For trailer installation, the Generator should be mounted on the center point of the trailer, over the wheels. The trailer must be capable of supporting the weight of the Generator and all contents (tools, etc.) 11. Install sound- and

5. Place the Generator as close as possible to the electrical tools and equipment being powered to reduce the length of extension cords. 6. If the Generator in located indoors the Engine exhaust must be ventilated to the outdoors using leak-proof, heat resistant, flexible, metal, flex tubing. GENERATOR SUPPORT AND MOUNTING 1. Mount the Generator on a concrete slab capable of supporting the weight of the Generator. The slab must extend on all sides beyond the Frame (41) by at least one foot. Co

3. Before the first use, remove the Fuel Tank Cap (33) and fill the Fuel Tank (30) with nleaded gasoline. Then, replace the Fuel Tank Cap. Thereafter, check the Engine’s Fuel Gauge (34) for the amount of unleaded gasoline in the Fuel Tank. If necessary, refill the Fuel Tank with unleaded gasoline; the Generator must be turned off and cooled down before refilling the fuel tank. (See Figure C.) To Start The Engine: 1. Make sure the electrical powered tools/equipment that will be used are not pl

Powering 120 Volt AC Tools And Equipment: 1. Prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the Generator’s rated voltage, and amperage capacity (110/120VAC @ 20 AMPs) is adequate to supply all electrical loads that the unit will power. If powering exceeds the Generator’s capacity, it may be necessary to group one or more of the tools and/or equipment for connection to a separate generator. CAUTION: THIS GENERATOR IS NOT INTENDED TO POWER SENSITIVE ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT (INCLUDING MEDICAL EQ
