If using a procedure, work method or operating technique the manufacturer does not specifically recommend, ensure that it is safe for others. Also make sure the procedure, work method or operating technique uti- lized does not render the generator unsafe.

DANGER

Despite the safe design of this generator, operat- ing this equipment imprudently, neglecting its maintenance or being careless can cause possible injury or death. Permit only responsible and capa- ble persons to operate or maintain this equip- ment.

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.

Please read all hazards carefully!

GENERAL HAZARDS

For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends that the installation, initial start-up and main- tenance of this equipment is carried out by an Authorized Dealer.

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. This exhaust system must be installed properly, in strict com- pliance with applicable codes and standards. Following installation, do nothing that might ren- der the system unsafe or in noncompliance with such codes and standards.

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.

Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and venti- lating air is critical to correct generator operation. Do not alter the installation or permit even partial blockage of ventilation provisions, as this can seri- ously affect safe operation of the generator. The generator MUST be installed outdoors.

When working on this equipment, remain alert at all times. Never work on the equipment when physically or mentally fatigued.

Inspect the generator regularly, and contact the nearest Authorized Dealer for parts needing repair or replacement.

Before performing any maintenance on the gen- erator, disconnect its battery cables to prevent accidental start up. Disconnect the cable from the battery post indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (–) first. Reconnect that cable last.

Never use the generator or any of its parts as a step. Stepping on the unit can stress and break parts, and may result in dangerous operating con- ditions from leaking exhaust gases, fuel leakage, oil leakage, etc.
