Caution Statements

Caution: Avoid installing the generator set beside heat generating equipment, or directly below water
or steam pipes or in the vicinity of corrosive substances or vapors, metal particles and dust.
Heat can cause engine problems to develop and unwanted substances can cause rust or
generator failure over time.
Caution: Do not apply high voltage to windings (do not start the generator) in a moisture−saturated
condition. Moisture can cause insulation breakdown, making it necessary to return the
generator to the factory for repair, and consequent expense and loss of time.
Caution: Use only original equipment or authorized replacement parts. Using the correct parts will
assure continued safe operation as designed.
Caution: Do not support the generator from the top of the frame or enclosure.
Caution: Do not tamper with or change the engine speed. Engine speed is factory set to produce the
correct voltage and output frequency.
Caution: Never operate the engine without a muffler. The engine is designed to have the correct
exhaust components installed and operating without these components can present a fire
hazard, cause excessive exhaust gases and cause damage to engine. Inspect muffler
periodically and replace if necessary.
Caution: The Programmable Output Contacts selection must agree with the external control wiring
prior to energizing the controller. Failure to do so may cause severe equipment damage.
Caution: If a dead battery is suspected, remove the controller fuse, charge battery (or replace), and
then attempting starting. Damage to engine control may result from jump starting.
Caution: This generator must have a battery installed for operation. The battery is used during starting
and during operation. If engine operation is attempted while the battery is removed, damage
to the engine's electrical components may result.
