Safety gate

Operate fuel-burning equipment outdoors only, far from occupied structures, openings, and ignition hazards, with working carbon-monoxide monitoring for personnel.

Testing is for qualified personnel using correctly rated load equipment and the manufacturer’s required grounding, bonding, clearance, and protective-device instructions.

Never connect a generator directly to building wiring or bypass overload, temperature, battery, GFCI, or carbon-monoxide shutdown protection.

Stop a run for unstable voltage or frequency, overheating, fuel or electrolyte leakage, abnormal sound, damaged wiring, or any manufacturer fault indication.

Badge rule: this product receives no “FMG Tested” label or score benefit until a real unit, instruments, conditions, valid runs, raw records, and limitations are documented under the public protocol.
