SAFETY WARNINGS

♦

Place protective covers and guards over the rotating parts, if rotating parts such as the drive shaft, pulley,

belt, etc. are left exposed, they are potentially hazardous.

♦

When cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make sure all moving parts have stopped.

Prior to working on the generator set, disconnect the spark plug and battery to prevent accidental starting.

Use only original equipment or authorized replacement parts. Use of correct parts will assure the operator of

the safety integrity that was designed into the unit.

♦

Unauthorized modifications to the generator set may impair the function and/or safety of the unit.

Do not operate the generator set without a muffler. Inspect periodically and replace if necessary.

Do not touch the hot exhaust components or the high voltage spark plug and coil terminals. While Spark Plug

Voltages are not normally lethal, an involuntary jerk of the hand caused by a hot surface or by an electrical

shock can result in injury.

♦

Repair of electrical generating equipment requires specialized skills. Repair personnel must have a

thorough understanding of generator and small engine repair procedures.

♦

Never inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide; a colorless, odorless and extremely

dangerous gas that can cause unconsciousness or death. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning

can include: dizziness, nausea, headaches, sleepiness, vomiting or incoherency. If you or anyone else

experiences any of these symptoms, get out into the fresh air immediately. Shut the unit down and

do not operate it until it has been inspected and, if necessary, repaired.

♦

Never Operate the generator set indoors or in a poorly ventilated area such as a tunnel or cave.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to

the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

♦

SAFETY WARNINGS

♦

Never permit anyone to operate the generator set without proper instructions.

Never allow children to operate the generator set.

Children and pets must be kept away from the area of operation due to the possibility of burns from hot

engine components or injury from any equipment the generator set is powering.

♦

Always wear eye protection and Hearing protection when working near the generator set.

Operate the generator set only with the guards, shields and other safety items in place and working

properly.

♦

Do not put hands, feet, tools or other objects near rotating parts.

Use reasonable care when moving or lifting the unit. The generator set may move around inside the wrap

frame creating "Pinch Points".

♦

Do not run the generator set while it is being moved.

Do not support the generator set from the top of the wrap frame.

Do not operate the generator set while under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.

When transporting or using a generator set with the wheel option, secure the unit to prevent it from moving

around.

♦

Do not tamper with or change the engine speed as it has been preset at the factory for proper operation.

Keep hands and face away from the carburetor when the air cleaner is being moved. A sudden backfire can

cause serious burns.

♦

Be careful of hot parts. The muffler and other generator parts become very hot while the engine is running.

Do not "jump start" the generator set.

Sulfuric acid can cause severe injury and can give off gases, which are corrosive and potentially explosive.

Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. In case of contact, flush area immediately with water.

♦

When transporting a generator set, secure it to prevent it from moving or shifting.

♦

Know how to stop the engine quickly and understand the operation of all controls.

Do not operate electrical equipment while standing in water, on wet ground or with wet hands or shoes.

Use extreme caution when working on electrical components. Potentially dangerous voltage is present

when the engine is running.

This generator set must not be used on or near any forest covered brush covered or grass covered land

unless the engine's exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester and it must be maintained

in effective working order by the operator.

♦

Operation inside an enclosed compartment or building is a potential fire hazard and should not be done

unless approval is obtained from Baldor Generators. Engine/Generator overheating can cause severe

damage due to restricted, obstructed or improper airflow that is necessary for the proper cooling of the unit.

Hot exhaust gases being discharged by the engine must never be directed toward anything that could catch

fire or explode.

LIMITED WARRANTY

Unless otherwise provided, Baldor generators are warranted against defects in Baldor workmanship and

materials for a period of time as set forth in the Warranty Period chart on the following page. All warranty

claims must be submitted to a Baldor Generator repair facility prior to the expiration of the warranty

period. Baldor Generators shall have no responsibility or liability for any defect, latent or otherwise,

discovered after the expiration of the warranty period provided herein. Extended warranties are available

for certain Baldor products. These warranties are described in Baldor’s catalog and other sales literature.

Extended warranties are subject to the terms and conditions of this Limited Warranty as modified by the

additional terms of the extended warranty. If a Baldor product is defective due to Baldor workmanship or

materials and the defect occurs during the warranty period, then Baldor will either repair the product or

replace it with a new one, whichever Baldor believes to be appropriate under the circumstances. Warranty

service is available for all Baldor Generator products from Baldor Generators’ Customer Service

Department in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and from Baldor Generator repair facilities. A list of Baldor’s

generator repair facilities may be obtained by contacting Baldor Generators at: Customer Service, Baldor

Generators, 3815 Oregon Street, Oshkosh, Wisconsin 54902, 920-236-4200 (telephone), 920-236-4219

product is not due to defects in Baldor workmanship or materials, then the party requiring warranty service

Limitations:

Baldor Generators is not responsible for the repair of generators required because of normal wear, accident,

misuse, abuse, improper installation, lack of maintenance, unauthorized modifications or improper storage.

Normal Wear: This warranty will not cover repair where normal use has exhausted the life of a part or

generator. It should be remembered that the service life of any generator is dependent on the care it

receives and the conditions under which it has to operate. Some applications are very often used in dusty or

dirty conditions, which can cause what appears to be excessive wear. Such wear, when caused by dirt, dust,

grit or other abrasive material, which has entered the generator because of improper maintenance, is not

covered by Warranty.

For all product lines, the engine manufacturer warrants engine systems. Contact Baldor Generators for

current engine warranties.
