READ THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY
If any portion of this manual is not understood, contact the near-
est Authorized Service Dealer for starting, operating and servicing
procedures.
Throughout this publication, and on tags and decals affixed to the
generator, DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE blocks are
used to alert personnel to special instructions about a particular
service or operation that may be hazardous if performed incor-
rectly or carelessly. Observe them carefully. Their definitions are
as follows:
INDICATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION OR ACTION WHICH, IF
NOT AVOIDED, WILL RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Indicates a hazardous situation or action which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation or action which, if not
avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTE:
Notes contain additional information important to a procedure
and will be found within the regular text body of this manual.
These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards that they
indicate. Common sense and strict compliance with the special
instructions while performing the action or service are essential to
preventing accidents.
Four commonly used safety symbols accompany the
DANGER
,
WARNING
and
CAUTION
blocks. The type of information each
indicates is as follows:
This symbol points out important safety information that,
if not followed, could endanger personal safety and/or
property of others.

This symbol points out potential fire hazard.
This symbol points out potential electrical shock hazard.
SAFETY RULES
Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before installing, operating or
servicing this equipment. Become familiar with this
Owner’s Manual
and with the unit. The generator can operate safely, efficiently and
reliably only if it is properly installed, operated and maintained.
Many accidents are caused by failing to follow simple and funda-
mental rules or precautions.
The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible circumstance
that might involve a hazard. The warnings in this manual, and on
tags and decals affixed to the unit are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If
using a procedure, work method or operating technique the manu-
facturer does not specifically recommend, ensure that it is safe for
others. Also make sure the procedure, work method or operating
technique utilized does not render the generator unsafe.
Despite the safe design of this unit, operating
this equipment imprudently, neglecting its mainte-
nance or being careless can cause possible inju-
ry 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.
