outlets before starting or stopping the unit.
3_ DO add up wattages of all equipment to be
powered by the alternator at one time. This
total must not exceed 4500 watts,
4o DO remember that some electric motors re-
quire more WATTS of power for starting than
for running.
5. DO make sure that wire gauge sizes of elec-
trical cords are large enough to handle the
maximum anticipated amperage.

storage and handling of gasoline.

1. DON'T fill the gas tank while the engine is
running or in the dark. Gasoline spillage on a
hot engine can cause fire or an explosion.
2. DON'T run the alternator in any enclosed
space° Gasoline engines consume oxygen
and give off DEADLY carbon monoxide,
3o DON'T install the alternator in any compart-
ment that will restrict the free flow of cooling
air. Without this free flow of cooling air,
serious heat damage to the alternator wilt oc-
cur.
4,. DON'T attempt to change engine governed
speed° High operating speeds are extremely
dangerous. The alternator wilt produce the re-
quired voltage and frequency ONLY AT 1800
RPM.
5. DON'T run the engine with the air cleaner
removed. Serious damage to the engine can
result°
6. DON'T unplug or plug in electrical power
cords while standing in water, while barefoot,
or while hands are wet. Dangerous electrical
shock can result.
7. DON'T touch muffler, exhaust piping, or
engine. They become HOT and will cause
serious burns_
_ CAUTION
Engines are shipped without oil, Any attempt to start the engine before the recommended
oil has been properly added to the engine crankcase will result in an engine failure.
