Accidental starting of generator can cause severe injury or
death. Before performing maintenance, disconnect spark
plug cap from spark plug. Also disconnect both starting bat-
tery cables. Remove the negative (-) cable first to reduce the
risk of arcing.
Improper maintenance, or failure to correct a problem before
operation, can cause a malfunction in which you can be seri-
ously hurt or killed. Always follow inspection and mainte-
nance recommendations and schedules in this owner's
manual.
The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating con-
ditions. If you operate generator under severe conditions,
such as sustained high-load or high-temperature, or use it in
unusually wet or dusty conditions, consult your servicing
dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual
needs and use.
