1.2 — General Safety
Study these safety rules carefully before operating or servicing this equipment. Become familiar with this Owner's Man-
ual 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 the manufacturer does not specifically recommend, ensure that it is safe for personnel. 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 install, operate and maintain this equipment.

Potentially lethal voltages are generated by these machines. Ensure steps are taken to make
the machine safe before attempting to work on the generator.

Parts of the generator are rotating and/or hot during operation. Exercise care near a running
generator.

The installation of this generator must always comply with applicable codes, standards, laws
and regulations.
A running generator gives off DEADLY carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poisonous
*
gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause dizziness, throbbing temples, nausea, muscular
twitching, headache, vomiting, weakness, sleepiness, inability to think clearly, fainting, uncon-
sciousness or even death.
