READ THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY
If any portion of this manual is not understood, contact the near-
est Authorized Service Dealer for starting, operating and servicing
procedures.
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
service or operation that may be hazardous if performed incor-
rectly or carelessly. Observe them carefully. Their definitions are
as follows:
DANGER

strictly complied with, will result in personal injury

ry or property damage.
After this heading, read instructions that, if not
strictly complied with, could result in damage to

special emphasis.
These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards that they
indicate. Common sense and strict compliance with the special
instructions while performing the service are essential to prevent-
ing accidents.
Four commonly used safety symbols accompany the DANGER,
WARNING and CAUTION blocks. The type of information each
indicates is as follows:

that, if not followed, could endanger personal safety
and/or property of others.

Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before installing, operating
or servicing this equipment. Become familiar with this Owner’s
Manual and with the unit. The generator can operate safely, effi-
ciently and reliably only if it is properly installed, operated and
maintained. Many accidents are caused by failing to follow simple
and fundamental rules or precautions.
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 all personnel. Also make sure the procedure, work
method or operating technique utilized does not render the genera-
tor unsafe.
