Page 12: Operation
OPERATION KNOW YOUR GENERATOR Read this General Manual and Safety Rules before operation of your Generator. Compare the illustration in your parts manual with your generator to familiarize yourself with the location of various controls and adjustments. Save all manuals for future references. GENERATOR CAPACITY IMPORTANT: Exceeding the rated capacity of your generator can result in serious damage to your generator and connected electrical devices. - Page 13 Engine speed has been factory set to provide safe operation. Tampering with the engine speed adjustment could result in over- heating of attachments and could cause a fire. Never attempt to “speed-up” the en- gine to obtain more performance. Both the output voltage and frequency will be thrown out of standard by this practice, endangering attachments and the user.

DeVilbiss Air Power Company reserves the right to inspect the electrical connections at the customer's site of operation and test the generator for proper opera- tion before any determination of liability is made.
