FOR
YOUR
SAFETY
Mishandling gasoline and oil can be deadly.
Gasoline is explosive and should never be
exposed to a flame or spark. Do not smoke
while working around gasoline.
Avoid the accidental misuse of gasoline by
always using a storage container designed for
gasoline.
Avoid fire hazards by operating the generator
no closer
than
one meter, (three feet) to any
combustible material.
When decarboning the muffler, burning
pieces of carbon may be discharged. Make
sure there is no combustible material in
the
area.
Spilled oil or gasoline can present a fire
hazard or cause injury through falls. Always
remove spilled oil or gasoline.
Engine exhaust fumes can cause death. Never
operate an engine in a confined area or
without venting the exhaust fumes to
the
outside atmosphere.
You can be killed by the electricity
a
generator
produces. While a generator is
in
operation
never/ touch any portion of your body to
exposed or uninsulated terminals
or
wiring.
Make sure that the engine will not accidentally
start while completing a service procedure by
pulling
the

Electrical line workers can be electricuted by
backfeeding electricity. Never connect a
generator to your house wiring without using
