OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
It is the operator's responsibility to perform all safe- ty checks, to make sure that all maintenance for safe operation is performed promptly, and to have the equipment checked periodically by a Generac/Guardian Authorized Dealer. Normal main- tenance service and replacement of parts are the responsibility of the owner/operator and, as such, are not considered defects in materials or workmanship within the terms of the warranty. Individual operating habits and usage contribute to the need for mainte- nance service.
Proper maintenance and care of your generator ensure a minimum number of problems and keep operating expenses at a minimum. See your Generac/Guardian Authorized Dealer for service aids and accessories.
