Throughout this publication, and on tags and decals affixed to the generator, DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE blocks are used to alert person- nel to special instructions about a particular opera- tion that may be hazardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly. Observe them carefully. Their defini- tions are as follows:

DANGER

After this heading, read instructions that, if not strictly complied with, will result in serious per- sonal injury up to and including death, or property damage.

After this heading, ead instructions that, if not strictly complied with, may result in personal injury or property damage.

After this heading, read instructions that, if not strictly complied with, could result in damage to equipment and/or property.

NOTE:

After this heading, read explanatory statements that require special emphasis.

These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards that they indicate. Common sense and strict compli- ance with the special instructions while performing the service are essential to preventing accidents.

Four commonly used safety symbols accompany the DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION blocks. The type of information each indicates follows:

The operator (driver) is responsible for proper and safe use of the vehicle and its equipment, and the safety of all vehicle occupants. We strongly recom- mend that the operator read this manual and thor- oughly understand all instructions before using this equipment. We also strongly recommend 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 performed promptly, and to have the equipment checked periodically by an Authorized Service Dealer.
