1.1 — Introduction
Every effort was expended to ensure that the information and instructions in this manual were both accurate and cur-
rent at the time it was released. However, the manufacturer reserves the right to change, alter, or otherwise improve
this product at any time without prior notice.
Read this manual thoroughly. If any portion is not understood, contact the nearest Authorized Service Dealer for
starting, operating, and servicing procedures. The operator is responsible for proper and safe use of the equipment.
The manufacturer strongly recommends that the operator read this Owner's Manual and thoroughly understand all
instructions before using this equipment. The manufacturer also strongly recommends having an Authorized Service
Dealer provide instruction to any designated operators in the safe inspection, starting, operating, and stopping of this
unit.
1.1.1— Installation, Operation, and Maintenance
Installation and initial startup of this equipment is not a "do-it-yourself"
project. This generator set must be installed by an Authorized Service
Dealer or other competent, qualified contractor. The initial startup must
be performed and documented by a factory Authorized Service Dealer. A
factory Authorized Service Dealer can also provide the necessary train-
ing for authorized operators. 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
an Authorized Service Dealer. Normal maintenance service and replace-
ment 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 will ensure a minimum
number of problems and keep operating expenses at a minimum. See
an Authorized Service Dealer for service aids and accessories.
