Starting the Engine
DANGER
Never operate a generator indoors. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless gas that can kill you within minutes. Always use this generator outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
WARNING
Before starting the engine, take the following precautions:
-
Ensure the generator is away from the fueling source.
-
The generator will vibrate during operation. Place the generator in a dry location and on a flat, level surface.
-
Unplug all power cords and extension cords from the generator.
-
Engage the wheel locks (if installed).
-
Perform an oil, fuel, and air filter check.
