NOTICE
It is in the operator's interest to read and understand all warnings and
cautions contained in the documentation relevant to the generator set
operation and daily maintenance.

• Keep ABC fire extinguishers accessible.
• Make sure that all fasteners are secure and torqued properly.
• Keep the generator set and its compartment clean. Do not store any items in
the generator set compartment.
• Before working on the generator set, make sure the generator set is shut down
and disabled.
1. Press the generator set's "O" (Off) button to stop the generator set. Allow
the generator set to thoroughly cool to the touch.
2. If applicable, turn off and disconnect the battery charger from the AC
source before disconnecting the battery cables.
3. Disconnect the negative (–) cable from the battery and secure it from
contacting the battery terminals to prevent accidental starting.
• Use caution when making adjustments when the generator set is running, hot,
or when parts are electrically live, as all situations may cause personal injury or
death.
• Used engine oil has been identified by some state and federal agencies as
causing cancer or reproductive toxicity. Do not ingest, inhale, or come into
contact with used oil or its vapors.
• Do not work on the generator set when mentally or physically fatigued or after
consuming alcohol or drugs.
NOTICE
Only trained and authorized personnel shall maintain or service the
generator set.
NOTICE
The installation of the generator set shall provide enough ventilation to
ensure that gases generated by vented batteries during charging, or caused
by equipment malfunction, are removed.
