Throughout this publication, and on tags and decals affixed to the generator, DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE blocks are used to alert you to spe- cial instruction about a particular service or operation that may be hazardous if performed incorrectly or care- lessly.

The operator is responsible for proper and safe use of the equipment. We strongly recommend that the opera- tor read this Owner's Manual and thoroughly under- stand all instructions before using this 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.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

It is the operator's responsibility to perform all safety checks, to make sure that all maintenance for safe oper- ation is performed promptly, and to have the equipment checked periodically by a Generac Authorized Service Dealer. Normal maintenance service and replacement of parts are the responsibility of the owner/operator and, as such, are not considered defects in materials or work- manship within the terms of the warranty. Individual operating habits and usage contribute to the need for maintenance service.

Proper maintenance and care of your generator ensure a minimum number of problems and keep operating expenses at a minimum. See your Generac Authorized Service Dealer for service aids and accessories.
