General Precautions
Owner's Manual
Check for damaged parts. Before using the generator, any part that appears damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment and
binding of moving parts, any broken parts or mounting fixtures, and any other condition that may affect
proper operation technician.
The generator is designed with guards for protection from moving parts. In any case, care must still be taken
to protect personnel and equipment from other mechanical hazards when working around the generator.
Do not operate the generator with safety guards removed. While the generator is running, do not attempt to
reach around the safety guard for maintenance or any other reason.
Keep hands, arms, long hair, loose clothing, and jewelry away from moving parts. Be aware that when engine
parts are moving fast they cannot be seen clearly.
Keep access doors on enclosures closed and locked when access is not required.
When working on or around the generator always wear protective clothing including ANSI approved safety
gloves, safety eye goggles, and safety hat.
Do not alter or adjust any part of the generator that is assembled and supplied by the manufacturer.
Always follow and complete scheduled engine and generator maintenance.
