Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before installing,
operating or servicing this equipment. Become familiar with
this manual and with the unit. The generator can operate safely,
efficiently 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 others. Also make sure the procedure, work method or
operating technique utilized does not render the generator unsafe.

Despite the safe design of this generator,
operating this equipment imprudently,
neglecting its maintenance or being careless
can cause possible injury or death. Permit only
responsible and capable persons to operate or
maintain this equipment.

Potentially lethal voltages are generated by
these machines. Ensure all steps are taken to
render the machine safe before attempting to
work on the generator.

Parts of the generator are rotating and/or hot
during operation. Exercise care near running
generators. Do not touch hot surfaces such as
the muffler. Severe burns can occur on contact.
Allow generator to cool before touching.
• Never operate in an enclosed area or indoors.
• For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends that the
maintenance of this equipment is carried out by an Authorized
