Installation and User’s Manual for Mobile Link

Section 1: Safety

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this home standby

generator product accessory.

Read This Manual Thoroughly

The information in this manual is accurate

based on products produced at the time of

publication. The manufacturer reserves the

right to make technical updates, corrections,

and product revisions at any time without

notice.
If any section of this manual is not understood,

contact the nearest Independent Authorized

Service Dealer (IASD) for starting, operating,

and servicing procedures.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

 The

manufacturer requires that this manual and

the rules for safe operation be copied and

posted near the unit’s installation site. Safety

should be stressed to all operators and

potential operators of this equipment.

SAFETY: 

Throughout this manual, DANGER,

WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE blocks are

used to alert personnel about particular

operations, functions or services that may be

hazardous if performed incorrectly or

carelessly. Their definitions are as follows:

NOTE:

 Notes provide additional information

important to a procedure or component.
These safety alerts cannot eliminate the

hazards that they signal. Strict compliance

with these special instructions, plus common

sense, are major accident prevention

measures.

General Safety

The manufacturer cannot anticipate every

possible circumstance that might involve a

hazard. The safety messages 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 manufacturer does not

specifically recommend, verify that it is safe

for personnel. Also make sure the procedure,

work method or operating technique utilized

does not render the generator unsafe.

General Safety Hazards

For safety reasons, the manufacturer

requires that this equipment be installed by

an Independent Authorized Service Dealer

(IASD) 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. Repair generally requires

simple replacement of the assembly with a

new unit, which can usually be performed

by the generator owner.
