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 bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a generator.

Provide barriers or shields as needed.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

4. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded

in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding

prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check

with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is prop-

erly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, ground-

ing provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

5. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider

than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug

does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a

qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in

any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded

power cord and grounded power supply system.

20. Maintain generators with care. Do not use a damaged generator. Tag dam-

aged generators “Do not use” until repaired.

21. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and

any other condition that may affect the generator’s operation. If damaged,

have the generator serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained generators.

22. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your

model. Accessories that may be suitable for one generator may become hazard-

ous when used on another generator.

SERVICE

23. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Generator and Engine. These carry

important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for

a replacement.

24. Generator service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.

Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk

of injury.

25. When servicing a generator, use only identical replacement parts. Follow

instructions in the
