6. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded. 7. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a generator will increase the risk of electric shock. 8. Do not abuse the Power Cords. Never use a Power Cord to carry tools or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep Power Cords away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords i

17. Do not use the generator if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any generator that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced. GENERATOR USE AND CARE 18. Make sure the Power Switch is in its “OFF” position and disconnect the spark plug wire before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the generator. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the generator accidentally. 19. Store idle generators out of reach of c

3. Before the first use, remove the Fuel Tank Cap (33) and fill the Fuel Tank (30) with unleaded 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. (See Figure C.) To Start The Engine: 1. Make sure the electrical powered tools/equipment that will be used is not plugged in to the Generator. 2. Turn the 115 volt AC Circuit Breaker (5) to its “ON”

Powering 120 Volt AC Tools And Equipment: 1. Prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the Generator’s rated voltage, and amperage capacity (115 VAC / 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 con- nection to a separate generator. 2. Once the Generator is running, simply connect the Power Cords of 115 volt AC powered tools and equip
