INTRODUCTION

READ THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY

If you do not understand any portion of this manual,
contact Generac or the nearest Generac Authorized
Dealer for starting, operating and servicing procedures.
Throughout this publication, and on tags and
decals affixed to the generator, DANGER, WARNING,
CAUTION and NOTE blocks are used to alert you to
special instruction about a particular operation that
may be hazardous if performed incorrectly or care-
lessly. Observe them carefully. Their definitions are as
follows:
DANGER
After this heading, read instructions that, if not
strictly complied with, will result in personal
injury, death or property damage.
After this heading, read instructions that, if not
strictly complied with, may result in personal injury
or property damage.
After this heading, read instructions that, if not
strictly complied with, could result in damage to
equipment and/or property.
After this heading, read explanatory statements
that require special emphasis.
These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards
that they indicate. Common sense and strict compli-
ance with the special instructions while performing
the service are essential to preventing accidents.
Four commonly used safety symbols accompany the
DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION blocks. The type
of information each indicates is as follows:
This symbol points out important safety informa-
!
tion that, if not followed, could endanger personal
safety and/or property.
This symbol points out potential explosion hazard.
This symbol points out potential fire hazard.
This symbol points out potential electrical shock
hazard.

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 Generac
Authorized Dealer. Normal maintenance service and
replacement of maintenance parts are the responsibili-
ty of the owner/operator and, as such, are not consid-
ered 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 ensure a
minimum number of problems and keep operating
expenses at a minimum. See a Generac Authorized
Dealer for service aids and accessories.
