GENERAL HAZARDS
• For safety reasons, Bryant recommends that this
equipment be installed, serviced and repaired by a Bryant
Dealer.
• The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide gas,
which can be DEADLY. This dangerous gas, if breathed
in sufficient concentrations, can cause unconsciousness
or even death. For that reason, adequate ventilation must
be provided. This exhaust system must be installed
properly, in strict compliance with applicable codes and
standards. Following installation, do nothing that might
render the system unsafe or in noncompliance with such
codes and standards.
• Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive belts,
fans, and other moving or hot parts. Never remove any
drive belt or fan guard while the unit is operating.
• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilating air
is critical to correct generator operation. Do not alter the
installation or permit even partial blockage of ventilation
provisions, as this can seriously affect safe operation of
the generator. The generator must be installed outdoors.

times. Never work on the equipment when physically or
mentally fatigued.
• Inspect the generator regularly, and contact the nearest
Bryant Dealer for parts needing repair or replacement.
