Throughout this publication and on tags and decals affixed to the generator, DANGER and CAUTION blocks are used to alert you to special instructions about a particular operation that may be hazardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly. Observe them carefully.

These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards that they indicate. Strict compliance with the special instructions while performing the service plus “common sense” are major mea- sures to prevent accidents.

The following definitions apply to DANGER, WARNING, CAU- TION and NOTE blocks found throughout the manual.

The operator (owner) is responsible for proper and safe use of the vehicle, equipment on the vehicle, and the safety of all vehicle occupants. We strongly recommend that the opera- tor read this Owner’s Manual and thoroughly understand all instructions before using this equipment. We also strongly rec- ommend instructing other occupants in the vehicle to properly start and operate the generator. 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 operation is per- formed promptly; and to have the equipment checked by an Authorized Dealer periodically. Normal maintenance 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. Indi- vidual operating habits and usage contribute to the need for maintenance service.

Proper maintenance and care of your recreational vehicle generator assures a minimum number of problems and keeps your operating expenses at a minimum. See your authorized Dealer/Distributor for service aids and accessories.

HOW TO OBTAIN SERVICE

When your recreational vehicle generator set requires servicing or repairs, simply contact an Authorized Service Facility for assistance. Service technicians are factory-trained and are capable of handling all of your service needs.

When contacting an Authorized Service Facility or the factory about parts and service, always supply the complete model number and serial number of your unit as given on its data decal.

The warranty on your generator is included in the Owner’s Manual, as well as listings for repair parts.
