Safety Setup Operating Precautions (cont.) 12. Do not exceed the maximum power rating of the generator. Make sure that the total electrical rating of the all of the tools or appliances plugged into the generator at the same time does not exceed that of the generator. Check that the startup surge will not be beyond the limit of the Generator. 13. Avoid substantially overloading which will trip the circuit breaker. Slightly overloading the generator may not trip the circuit breaker, but will lead to premature generator failure. 14. Do not attempt to connect or disconnect load connections while standing in water, or on wet or soggy ground. 15. Do not touch electrically energized parts of the Generator and interconnecting cables or conductors with any part of the body, or with any non-insulated conductive object. 16. Connect the Generator only to a load that is compatible with the electrical characteristics and rated capacities of the Generator. 17. Insulate all connections and disconnected wires. 18. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. 19. Only use a suitable means of transport and lifting devices with sufficient weight bearing capacity when transporting the generator. 20. Secure the generator on transport vehicles to prevent it from rolling, slipping, and tilting. 21. Industrial applications must follow OSHA requirements. 22. Do not leave the generator unattended when it is running. Turn off the generator (and remove safety keys, if available) before leaving the work area. 23. The generator can produce high noise levels. Prolonged exposure to noise levels above 85 dBA is hazardous to hearing. Wear ear protection when operating the generator or when working nearby while it is operating. 24. Wear ANSI-approved safety glasses and hearing protection during use. 25. People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. Caution is necessary when near the engine's magneto or recoil starter. 26. Use only accessories that are recommended by Harbor Freight Tools for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one piece of equipment may become hazardous when used on another piece of equipment. 27. Do not operate in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Gasoline-powered engines may ignite the dust or fumes. 28. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating this generator. Do not use while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. 29. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. 30. Parts, especially exhaust system components, get very hot during use. Stay clear of hot parts. 31. Do not cover the generator during operation. 32. Keep the generator and surrounding area clean at all times. 33. Use the equipment, accessories, etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of equipment, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the equipment for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. 34. Do not operate the equipment with known leaks in the engine's fuel system. 35. WARNING: This product contains or, when used, produces a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.) 36. When spills of fuel or oil occur, they must be cleaned up immediately. Dispose of fluids and cleaning materials as per any local, state, or federal codes and regulations. Store oil rags in a bottom-ventilated, covered, metal container. 37. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. Do not reach over or across equipment while operating. 38. Before use, check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the equipment's operation. If damaged, have the equipment serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained equipment. 39. Use the correct equipment for the application. Do not modify the equipment and do not use the equipment for a purpose for which it is not intended. Operation Maintenance ITEM 69381 For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797. Page 5
