problems and keep operating expenses at a minimum. It
is the operator's responsibility to perform all safety
checks, to make sure that all maintenance for safe opera-
tion is performed promptly, and to have the equipment
checked periodically by an Authorized Service Dealer.
Normal maintenance, service and replacement of parts
are the responsibility of the owner/operator and, as such,
are not considered defects in materials or workmanship
within the terms of the warranty. Individual operating hab-
its and usage may contribute to the need for additional
maintenance or service.
When the generator requires servicing or repairs, contact
an Authorized LOWES Service Dealer for assistance.
