GA-4.5R/GA-4.5RA — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
■
ALWAYS
be sure the operator is familiar with proper safety
precautions and operation techniques before using generator.
■
NEVER
leave the generator unattended, turn off engine when
unattended.

Unauthorized equipment modifications will void all
warranties.

NEVER
run engine without air cleaner. Severe engine damage
may occur.
■
NEVER
change or adjust the engine speed which has been
set at the factory prior to shipping.
■
Removing the engine oil drain plug while
the engine is hot will result in hot oil to gush
out of the oil drain plug, therefore causing
severe scalding to any persons in the general
area of the generator.
Power Cord Safety

NEVER
let power cables or cords
lay in wate
r.
■
