GENERATOR USE AND CARE
18. Make sure the Power Switch is in its “OFF” position and disconnect the
spark plug wire before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the generator.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the generator accidentally.
19. Store idle generators out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Generators are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
20. Maintain generators with care. Do not use a damaged generator. Tag dam-
aged generators "Do not use" until repaired.
21.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the generator’s operation. If damaged,
have the generator serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained generators.
22.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one generator may become hazard-
ous when used on another generator.
