Legal Requirements:
Federal and/or State Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, local codes, and/or ordinances may apply to the intended
use of this generator. Consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, and/or the local agency having jurisdiction. Some areas require generators
to be registered with local utility companies. Additional regulations may apply if this generator will be used at a construction site.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
STOP!
Before using this generator and if you have any questions regarding the hazard and safety notices listed in this manual and/or on this
generator, call 1-866-460-9436, Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 4 PM Central Time.
Carbon Monoxide Gas: Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO2). This is a poison gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell
the generator exhaust, you are breathing CO2. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO2. • NEVER use a
generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas.
Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT supply enough fresh air.
• ONLY use a generator outside and far away from windows, doors, and vents. These openings can pull in generator exhaust. Even when you
use a generator correctly, CO2 may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery-backup CO2 alarm in the home.
• If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You could have
carbon monoxide poisoning.
Chemicals: According to the State of California, the exhaust from this generator contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
Flammable Gasoline: This generator may emit highly flammable and explosive gasoline vapors, which can cause severe burns or
even death. A nearby open flame can lead to an explosion even if not directly in contact with gasoline.
• Do not operate this generator near open flame.
• Do not smoke near this generator.
• Always operate this generator on a firm, level surface.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. Handling fuel can result in serious injury or burns.
• Always shut down this generator before refueling. Refuel in a well-ventilated area. Keep heat, sparks and flame away while refueling and
away from the location where gasoline is stored. Never refuel indoors where gasoline fumes may reach flames and/or sparks.
• Allow this generator to cool for at least 2 minutes before removing the fuel tank cap. Loosen the cap slowly to relieve pressure in the fuel
tank. Avoid spilling fuel.
• Do not fill the fuel tank above the upper limit line. Gasoline may expand during operation. Do not fill to the top of the tank.
• Always check for spilled gasoline and immediately wipe it up before starting this generator.
• Empty the fuel tank before storing or transporting this generator.
• Always handle fuel outdoors.
• Before transporting, turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position and disconnect the spark plug.
Environment Required: Protect the generator from direct sunlight. Do not select a location that is permanently subject to temperatures of
more than 40 °C and less than -15°C.
• If the generator is not operated at a temperature of between 5 - 40 °C and a height of 0 - 1000 m, the connected power consumption must be
reduced!
• Prevent this to ensure the longevity of the device and hazards!
GEN154A 2000 Surge Watts/1200 Running Watts Portable Generator 6
Powerful Voltage: This generator produces powerful voltage, which can result in electrocution.
• ALWAYS ground this generator before using it. (See “Ground the Generator” section in this manual).
• Only electrical devices should be plugged into this generator, either directly or with an extension cord. NEVER connect a building electrical
system to this generator without a qualified electrician. Such connections must isolate generator power from utility power and comply with local
electrical laws and codes. Failure to comply can create a back feed into utility lines creating an electrocution hazard, which may result in serious
injury or death to utility workers. Such a back feed may cause this generator to explode, burn and create fires when utility power is restored.
• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in highly conductive areas such as metal decking or steel work. GFCIs are available in-line with
some extension cords.
• Do not use this generator in wet conditions (rain, snow, active sprinkler system, wet hands, etc.). Always keep this generator dry and operate
it with dry hands.
• Do not touch bare wires or outlets (receptacles).
• Do not allow children or non-qualified persons to operate this generator.
High Temperatures: This generator produces heat when in operation. Temperatures near the exhaust can exceed 150 Degrees
Fahrenheit (65 Degrees Celsius).
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Observe all warning placards on this generator denoting hot surfaces.
• Allow this generator to cool for several minutes after use before touching the engine, muffler or other areas that are hot during operation and
before storing indoors.
• Hot exhaust may ignite some materials. Keep flammable materials away from this generator.
• Keep at least several feet of clearance on all sides of this generator during operation. Do not enclose this generator in any structure.
Usage: Misuse of this generator can damage it or shorten its life.
• Use this generator only for its intended purpose.
• Operate this generator only on a dry, level surface. Do not secure the generator with a chain or rope, which would prevent it from being moved
in an emergency.
• Allow this generator to run for several minutes before connecting any electrical devices.
• Promptly turn off any malfunctioning devices and disconnect them.
• Do not operate an excessive number of electrical devices in excess of the wattage capacity of this generator.
• Do not turn on electrical devices until after they are connected to this generator.
• Turn off all connected electrical devices before stopping this generator.
• Generators vibrate in normal use. During and after the use of the generator, inspect the generator as well as extension cords and power
supply cords connected to it for damage resulting from vibration.
• Have damaged items repaired or replaced as necessary.
• Do not use plugs or cords that show signs of damage such as broken or cracked insulation or damaged blades.
• For power outages, permanently installed stationary generators are better suited for providing backup power to the home.
• Even a properly connected portable generator can become overloaded.
• This may result in overheating or stressing the generator components, possibly leading to a generator failure.
