Dayton Operating Instructions and Parts Manual

Install battery-operated carbon

monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon

monoxide alarms with battery back-

up in your home, according to the

manufacturer’s installation instructions.

The carbon monoxide alarms should

be certified to the requirements of

the latest safety standards for carbon

monoxide alarms. (UL 2034, IAS 6-96, or

CSA 6.19.01).

Test your carbon monoxide alarm

frequently and replace dead batteries.

SAFETY WARNING WHEN REFUELING

Gasoline is extremely flammable and its

vapors can explode if ignited.

Observe all safety regulations for the

safe handling of fuel. Handle fuel in

safety containers. If the container does

not have a spout, use a funnel.

Do not overfill the fuel tank, leave

room for the fuel to expand.

Do not refill fuel tank while the

engine is running. Before refueling the

generator, turn it off and let it cool

down. Gasoline spilled on hot engine

parts could ignite. Fill the tank only on

an area of bare ground. While fueling

the tank, keep heat, sparks and open

flame away. Carefully clean up any

spilled fuel before starting engine.

Always fill fuel tank in an area with

plenty of ventilation to avoid inhaling

dangerous fumes.

NEVER store fuel for your generator in

the home. Gasoline, propane, kerosene,

and other flammable liquids should

be stored outside of living areas in

properly-labeled, non-glass safety

containers. Do not store them near

a fuel-burning appliance, such as a

natural gas water heater in a garage. If

the fuel is spilled or the container is not

sealed properly, invisible vapors from

the fuel can travel along the ground

and can be ignited by the appliance’s

pilot light or by arcs from electric

switches in the appliance.

GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER

PROTECTION. These generators are

equipped with two GFCI (Ground

Fault Circuit Interrupters) 120V duplex

receptacles for protection against

the hazards of electrical shock from

defective attachments such as, tools,

cords, and cables.

A GFCI is a device that interrupts

electricity from either the utility or

generator by means of a special type of

circuit breaker if a fault current flow to

the ground occurs.

A GFCI can be used only with generators

that have the neutral wire internally

bonded to the frame, and the frame

properly grounded to the earth. A GFCI

will not work on generators that do not

have the neutral wire bonded to the

frame, or on generators which have not

been properly grounded. All Dayton

generators have internally bonded

ground wires. A GFCI will not work if

the unit is not properly grounded.

A GFCI may be required by OSHA

regulations, the National Electric Code

and/or local and federal codes when

operating a generator.

For additional protections against shock

hazards due to defective equipment

attached to the twist-lock receptacles,

consider the use of a GFCI on each of

these receptacles as well.

GFCIs and GFCI protected cord sets and

cables may be purchased from local

electrical supply houses.

The GFCIs may not

function unless

the generator is properly grounded.

Follow the correct procedure specified

in the section labeled “GROUNDING

INSTRUCTIONS”

Only the 120V

Duplex Receptacles

are protected by the GFCI.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS. This product

must be grounded. If it should

malfunction or breakdown, grounding

provides a path of least resistance for

electric current to reduce the risk of

electric shock.

Improper connection

of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk

of electrocution. Check with a qualified

electrician or service person if you

are IN doubt as to whether the unit is

properly grounded.

This generator is equipped with a

grounding terminal for your protection.

Always complete the ground path from

the generator to an external ground

source as instructed in the section

labeled “Grounding Instructions” in the

Preparation section of this manual.

The generator is a potential source of

electrical shock if not kept dry. Keep

the generator dry and do not use in

rain or wet conditions. To protect from

moisture, operate it on a dry surface

under an open, canopy-like structure.

Dry your hands if wet before touching

the generator.

Risk of electric shock if you operate

this generator with a faulty GFCI

(Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter). Test

GFCI before each use, see Operations

Instructions for further information.

If GFCI fails test, DO NOT use your

generator. Contact your Dayton

Customer Service Representative.
