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 reli- ably only if it is properly installed, operated and main- tained. Many accidents are caused by failing to follow simple and fundamental rules or precautions.

Generac cannot possibly anticipate every possible cir cumstance that might involve a hazard. The warn- ings in this manual, and on tags and decals affixed to the unit, are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If you use a procedure, work method or operating tech- nique Generac does not specifically recommend, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and others. You also must make sure the procedure, work method or operating technique that you choose does not render the generator unsafe.

! GENERAL HAZARDS !

•For safety reasons, Generac recommends that the installation, initial start-up and mainte- nance of this equipment is carried out by a Generac Authorized Service Dealer.

•The generator engine releases DEADLY carbon monoxide gas through its exhaust system. This dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concentra- tions, can cause unconsciousness or even death. Never operate the generator set with the vehicle inside any garage or other enclosed area. DO NOT OPERATE THE GENERATOR IF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IS LEAKING OR HAS BEEN DAMAGED. SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISON- ING ARE (a) inability to think coherently, (b) nau- sea, (c) vomiting, (d) twitching muscles, (e) throb- bing temples, (f) dizziness, (g) headaches, (h) weakness, and (i) sleepiness. IF YOU EXPERI-

ENCE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, MOVE INTO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF SYMPTOMS PER- SIST, GET MEDICAL HELP. Shut down the gener- ator and do not operate it until it has been inspect- ed and repaired.

•Never sleep in the vehicle while the genset is run- ning unless the vehicle has a working carbon monoxide detector. The exhaust system must be installed in accordance with the genset installation manual. Make sure there is ample fresh air when operating the genset in a confined area.

DANGER

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.

•The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monox- ide, which can be DEADLY. This dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or even death. Thus, the exhaust system must be installed properly, in strict com- pliance with applicable codes and standards. Following installation, you must do nothing that might render the system unsafe or in noncompli- ance with such codes and standards. The genera- tor compartment must be completely vapor-sealed from the vehicle interior. There must be no possi- bility of exhaust fumes entering the vehicle interi- or. Never operate this equipment with a leaking or defective exhaust system.

•Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive belts, fans, and other moving or hot parts. Never remove any drive belt or fan guard while the unit is operating.
