3. DEADLY EXHAUST GAS - Exhaust fumes from any
gasoline engine contain carbon monoxide, an invisible,
odorless and deadly gas that must be mixed with fresh
air.
a. Operate only in well ventilated areas.
b. Never operate indoors.
c. Never operate the unit in such a way as to allow
exhaust gases to seep back into closed rooms (i.e.
through windows, walls or floors).
4. NOISE HAZARD - Excessive noise is not only tiring, but
continual exposure can lead to loss of hearing.
a. Use hearing protection equipment when working
around this equipment for long periods of time.
b. Keep your neighbors in mind when permanently
installing this equipment.
5. CLEANLINESS- Keep the generator and surrounding
area clean.
a. Remove all grease, ice, snow or materials that create
slippery conditions around the unit.
b. Remove any rags or other material that could create
potential fire hazards.
c. Carefully wipe up any gas or oil spills before starting
the unit.
d. Never allow leaves or other flammable material to
build up around the engine exhaust area.
6. SERVICING EQUIPMENT- All service, including the
installation or replacement of service parts, should be
performed only by a qualified technician.
a. Use only factory approved repair parts.
b. Do not work on this equipment when fatigued.
c. Never remove the protective guards, cover, or
receptacle panels while the engine is running.
d. Use extreme caution when working on electrical
components. High output voltages from this equipment
can cause serious injury or death.
e. Always avoid hot mufflers, exhaust manifolds, and
engine parts. They all can cause severe burns instantly.
f. Installing a home-standby generator is not a "do-it-
yourself" project. Consult a qualified, licensed electrician
or contractor. The installation must comply with all
national, state, and local codes.
