Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before install- ing, operating or servicing this equipment. Become familiar with this Owner’s Manual and with the unit. The generator can operate safely, efficiently and reli- ably only if it is properly installed, operated and maintained. Many accidents are caused by failing to follow simple and fundamental rules or precautions.

GENERAL HAZARDS

For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends that this equipment be installed, serviced and repaired by a Service Dealer or other competent, qualified electrician or installation technician who is familiar with applicable codes, standards and regulations. The operator also must comply with all such codes, standards and regulations.

Installation, operation, servicing and repair of this (and related) equipment must always comply with applicable codes, standards, laws and regulations. Adhere strictly to local, state and national electri- cal and building codes. Comply with regulations the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has established. Also, ensure that the generator is installed, operated and serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations. Following installation, do nothing that might render the unit unsafe or in noncompliance with the aforementioned codes, standards, laws and regulations.

The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon mon- oxide gas, which can be DEADLY. This dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or even death. For that reason, adequate ventilation must be provided. This should be considered prior to installing the generator. The unit should be positioned to direct exhaust gasses safely away from any building where people, animals, etc., will not be harmed. Any exhaust stacks that ship loose with the unit must be installed properly per the manufacturer's instruction, and in strict compliance with appli- cable 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 in any room or building hous- ing the generator to prevent buildup of explosive gases and to ensure 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.

Keep the area around the generator clean and uncluttered. Remove any materials that could become hazardous.

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 promptly repair or replace all worn, damaged or defective parts using only factory-approved parts.
