DANGER

CARBON MONOXIDE

Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.

Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison you cannot see or

smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing CO. But even if you cannot

smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.

• 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, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a

battery-powered or battery-backup CO 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 poison.

2. California Evaporative Emission Control Warranty Statement

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

The California Air Resources Board and Wacker Neuson Corporation,

Inc., are pleased to explain the evaporative emission control system

(EECS) warranty on your model year 2008 and later portable

generator. In California, new portable generators must be designed,

built and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards.

Wacker Neuson Corporation must warrant the EECS on your portable

generator for the period of time listed below, provided there has been

no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your portable generator.

Your EECS on your model year 2008 and later portable generator

includes the fuel and vent line, fuel and vent line clamps, fuel and vent

line fittings, carbon canister, fuel tank and fuel tank cap.

Where a warrantable condition exists, Wacker Neuson Corporation will

repair your portable generator at no cost to you including diagnosis,

parts and labor.

MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:

This EECS is warranted for two years from the initial date of purchase.

If any evaporative emission-related part on your equipment is

defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Wacker Neuson

Corporation at no charge to you. The owner shall not be charged for

diagnostic labor that leads to determination that a warranted part is in

fact defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a

Wacker Neuson Corporation authorized service center.

WARRANTY PERIOD:

Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required

maintenance, or which is scheduled only for regular inspection to the

effect of “repair or replace as necessary”, shall be warranted for two

years. Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as

required maintenance shall be warranted for a time not less than the

remaining warranty period.

California Evaporative Emission Control Warranty Statement

OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:

As the portable generator owner, you are responsible for performance

of the required maintenance listed in your Operator’s Manual. Wacker

Neuson Corporation recommends that you retain all receipts covering

maintenance on your portable generator, but Wacker Neuson

Corporation cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts.

As the portable generator owner, you should however be aware that

Wacker Neuson Corporation may deny you warranty coverage if your

portable generator or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, or

improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your portable generator to Wacker

Neuson Corporation’s authorized service center as soon as the

problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a

reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. If you have a

question regarding your warranty coverage, you should contact your

nearest authorized Wacker Neuson service center or call 1-800-770-

0957.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED:

All failures caused by abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance are not

covered. In addition, the use of add-on or modified parts will be

grounds for disallowing a warranty claim.

WARRANTED PARTS:

The repair or replacement of any warranted part otherwise eligible for

warranty coverage may be excluded from such warranty coverage if

Wacker Neuson Corporation demonstrates that the portable generator

has been abused, neglected, or improperly maintained, and that such

abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance was the direct cause of the

need for repair or replacement of the part. That notwithstanding, any

adjustment of a component that has a factory installed, and properly

operating, adjustment limiting device is still eligible for warranty

coverage. The following emission warranty parts are covered:

(1) Fuel and Vent Lines

(2) Fuel and Vent Line Clamps

(3) Fuel and Vent Line Fittings

(4) Carbon Canister

(5) Fuel Tank

(6) Fuel Tank Cap

3.1 Laws Pertaining to Spark Arresters

Notice: State Health Safety Codes and Public Resources Codes

specify that in certain locations spark arresters be used on internal

combustion engines that use hydrocarbon fuels. A spark arrester is a

device designed to prevent accidental discharge of sparks or flames

from the engine exhaust. Spark arresters 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.

3.2 Operating Safety

Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator

exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or

smell. NEVER use this generator inside a home or garage, EVEN IF

doors and windows are open. Only use this generator OUTSIDE and

far away from windows, doors, and vents.

BACKFEED FROM THE GENERATOR INTO THE PUBLIC POWER

DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR

DEATH TO UTILITY WORKERS!

Improper connection of generator to a building’s electrical system can

allow electrical current from the generator to backfeed into utility lines.

This may result in electrocution of utility workers, fire, or explosion.

Connections to a building’s electrical system must be made by a

qualified electrician and comply with all applicable laws and electrical

codes.

If connected to a building’s electrical system the generator must meet

the power, voltage, and frequency requirements of the equipment in

the building. Differences in power, voltage, and frequency

requirements may exist and improper connection may lead to

equipment damage, fire, and personal injury or death.

Familiarity and proper training are required for the safe operation of the

machine. Machines operated improperly or by untrained personnel

can be dangerous. Read the operating instructions contained in both

this manual and the engine manual and familiarize yourself with the

location and proper use of all controls. Inexperienced operators should

receive instruction from someone familiar with the machine before

being allowed to operate it.

3.2.1 NEVER operate the generator when open containers of fuel, paint, or

other flammable liquids are near.

3.2.2 NEVER operate the generator, or tools attached to the generator, with

wet hands.

3.2.3 NEVER use worn electrical cords. Severe electrical shock and

equipment damage may result.

3.2.4 NEVER run the electrical cords under the generator, or over vibrating

or hot parts.

3.2.5 NEVER enclose or cover the generator when it is in use or when it is

hot.

3.2.6 NEVER overload the generator. The total amperage of the tools and

equipment attached to the generator must not exceed the load rating

of the generator.
