NOTICE

State Health Safety Codes and Public Resources Codes specify that in cer-

tain locations spark arresters be used on internal combustion engines that

use hydrocarbon fuels. A spark arrester is a device designed to prevent acci-

dental discharge of sparks or flames from the engine exhaust. Spark ar-

resters are qualified and rated by the United States Forest Service for this

purpose. In order to comply with local laws regarding spark arresters, consult

the engine distributor or the local Health and Safety Administrator.

• Heat, noise, and exhaust from the engine or hydronic heater

• Burns from the HTF or radiant heat from the hoses

• Fire hazards from improper refueling techniques

• Tripping hazards from the hoses

• Fire hazards from improper refueling techniques

• Fuel and its fumes

• Electric shock and arc flash

• Personal injury from improper lifting the trailer tongue

• Typical hazards related to towing a trailer on roads and highways

not smell the exhaust, you could still be breathing CO.

include the risk of electrocution or severe electrical shock. Failure to follow

the safety information below can result in severe injury or death.

► Read and follow the safety instructions in this Operator’s Manual.

► Contact the generator manufacturer for additional information regarding

the generator.
