OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

It is the operator's responsibility to perform all safety checks, to
make sure that all maintenance for safe operation is performed
promptly, and to have the equipment checked periodically by a
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 habits and usage contribute to
the need for maintenance service.
Proper maintenance and care of the generator ensures a minimum
number of problems and keep operating expenses at a minimum.
See a Dealer for service aids and accessories.

When contacting a Dealer about parts and service, always supply
the complete model number and serial number of the unit as given

SAFETY RULES

Save These Instructions – The manufacturer

suggests that these rules for safe operation be
copied and posted near the unit's installation
site. Safety should be stressed to all operators
and potential operators of this equipment.
Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before installing, operating
or servicing this equipment. Become familiar with this Owner's
Manual and with the unit. The generator can operate safely,
efficiently and reliably only if it is properly installed, operated and
maintained. Many accidents are caused by failing to follow simple
and fundamental rules or precautions.
The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible circumstance
that might involve a hazard. The warnings in this manual, and on
tags and decals affixed to the unit are, therefore, not all-inclusive.
If using a procedure, work method or operating technique the
manufacturer does not specifically recommend, ensure that it is
safe for others. Also make sure the procedure, work method or
operating technique utilized does not render the generator unsafe.
Despite the safe design of this generator,

operating this equipment imprudently, neglect-
ing its maintenance or being careless can
cause possible injury or death. Permit only
responsible and capable persons to install,
operate and maintain this equipment.
Potentially lethal voltages are generated by

these machines. Ensure all steps are taken to
render the machine safe before attempting to
work on the generator.
Parts of the generator are rotating and/or hot

during operation. Exercise care near running
generators.
Installation must always comply with applicable

codes, standards, laws and regulations.
A running generator gives off carbon monoxide,

an odorless, colorless poison gas. Breathing
in carbon monoxide can cause headaches,
fatigue, diziness, nausea, vomitting, confusion,
fainting, siezures or death.
