operation and controls of the
generator. Know how to shut it
off quickly.

tor.

cedures as described in this manual
when connecting cables, chains, or
straps for raising or suspending gen-
erators equipped with lift rings.
Always use cables, chains, or straps
rated at 2000 lbs working load or
more to raise or suspend generator.
Never operate generator while sus-
pended or in an unlevel position.
Always operate generate on a flat,
level surface.
