The operator is responsible for proper and safe use of the equipment. We strongly recommend that the
operator read this manual and thoroughly understand all instructions before using the equipment. We also
strongly recommend instructing other users to properly start and operate the unit. This prepares them if
they need to operate the equipment in an emergency.
The generator can operate safely, efficiently and reliably only if it is properly located, operated and
maintained. Before operating or servicing the generator:
Become familiar with and strictly adhere to all local, state and national codes and regulations.
•
Study all safety warnings in this manual and on the product carefully.
•
Become familiar with this manual and the unit before use.
•
The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a hazard. The
warnings in this manual, and on tags and decals affixed to the unit are, therefore, not all inclusive.
If using a procedure, work method or operating technique that the manufacturer does not specifically
recommend, ensure that it is safe for others. Also make sure the procedure, work method or
operating technique utilized does not render the generator unsafe.

SAFETY RULES

Throughout this publication, and on tags and decals affixed to the generator, DANGER, WARNING,
CAUTION and NOTE blocks are used to alert personnel to special instructions about a particular
operation that may be hazardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly. Observe them carefully. Their
definitions are as follows:
Indicates a hazardous situation or action which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious
injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation or action which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation or action which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate
injury.
Notes contain additional information important to a procedure and will be found within the regular
text body of this manual.
These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards that they indicate. Common sense and strict
compliance with the special instructions while performing the action or 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:
