tial to preventing accidents.

The operator is responsible for proper and safe use of the
equipment. We strongly recommend that the operator read
this Owner's Manual and thoroughly understand all instruc-
tions before using this equipment. We also strongly recom-
mend instructing other users to properly start and operate
the unit. This prepares them if they need to operate the
equipment in an emergency.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

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 by an authorized dealer periodically. Normal main-
tenance service and replacement of parts are the responsi-
bility of the owner/operator and, as such, are not considered
defects in materials or workmanship within the terms of the
warranty. Individual operating habits and usage contribute
to the need for maintenance service.
Proper maintenance and care of your generator ensures a
minimum number of problems and keeps operating expens-
es at a minimum. See your Generac authorized dealer/
distributor for service aids and accessories.

HOW TO OBTAIN SERVICE

When the generator set requires servicing or repairs, simply
contact an authorized service facility for assistance. Service
technicians are factory-trained and are capable of handling
all service needs.
When contacting an authorized service facility or the facto-
ry about parts and service, always supply the complete
model number, serial number, and vin number of unit as
given on its data decal.
The warranty on the generator is included in this Owner's
Manual, as well as listings for repair parts.
