Champion Power Equipment 11,500-Watt Electric Start Dual Fuel Portable Generator (Model 201302) Instruction Manual

1. Informació de seguretat

WARNING: Carbon Monoxide Hazard. Generators produce carbon monoxide (CO), a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. Operating a generator indoors can kill you in minutes. CO Shield technology monitors CO accumulation and automatically shuts off the engine if unsafe levels are detected. However, CO Shield is not a substitute for an indoor carbon monoxide alarm or for safe operation. ALWAYS use the generator outdoors, far away from occupied buildings, with engine exhaust pointed away from people and buildings. DO NOT allow engine exhaust fumes to enter a confined area through windows, doors, vents, or other openings.

ADVERTÈNCIA: Risc de descàrrega elèctrica. Never operate the generator in wet conditions. Ensure all connections are secure and dry. Use ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected outlets when operating in damp o llocs humits.

ADVERTÈNCIA: Perill d'incendi. Gasoline and propane are highly flammable. Store fuel in approved containers in a well-ventilated area away from ignition sources. Never refuel a hot or running engine. Allow the generator to cool before refueling.

Read and understand the entire instruction manual before operating the generator. Failure to follow instructions can result in serious injury or death.
