Carrier
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Carrier home standby
generator system.
Every effort was expended to make sure that the
information and instructions in this manual are both
accurate and current at the time the manual was writ-
ten. However, the manufacturer reserves the right to
change, alter or otherwise improve this product(s) at
any time without prior notice.
READ THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY
If any portion of this manual is not understood, con-
tact the nearest dealer for starting, operating and
servicing procedures.
Throughout this publication, and on tags and decals
affixed to the generator, DANGER, WARNING, CAU-
TION and NOTE blocks are used to alert personnel to
special instructions about a particular service or oper-
ation that may be hazardous if performed incorrectly
or carelessly. Observe them carefully. Their definitions
are as follows:
After this heading, read instructions that, if not
strictly complied with, will result in serious person-
al injury, including death, or considerable property
damage.
After this heading, read 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 is as follows:
This symbol points out important safety informa-
tion that, if not followed, could endanger personal
safety and/or property of others.
This symbol points out potential explosion hazard.
This symbol points out potential fire hazard.
This symbol points out potential electrical shock
hazard.
The operator is responsible for proper and safe use
of the equipment. Carrier strongly recommends that
the operator reads this Owner's Manual and thor-
oughly understands all instructions before using this
equipment. Carrier also strongly recommends
instructing other users to properly start and operate
the unit. 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 a dealer. Normal
maintenance service adjustments and replacement of
parts are the responsibility of the owner/operator and,
as such, are not considered defects in materials or
workmanship within the terms of the warranty.
Individual operating habits and usage contribute to
the need for maintenance service.
Proper maintenance and care of the generator ensures
a minimum number of problems and keep operating
expenses at a minimum. See a dealer for service aids
and accessories.
Operating instructions presented in this manual
assume that the standby electric system has been
installed by a dealer or other competent, qualified
contractor. Installation of this equipment is not a “do-
it-yourself” project.
HOW TO OBTAIN SERVICE
When the generator requires servicing or repairs,
contact a dealer for assistance. Service technicians
are factory-trained and are capable of handling all
service needs.
When contacting a Carrier Dealer about parts and
service, always supply the complete model number
and serial number of the unit as given on the front
cover of this manual and on the DATA LABEL affixed
to the unit.
