SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION:
Make sure that the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or repairs.
This will eliminate several potential hazards, including:
•
Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust. Be sure there is adequate
ventilation whenever you operate the engine.
•
Burns from hot parts. Let the engine and exhaust system cool before you touch
it to prevent burns.
•
Injury from moving parts. Wear appropriate clothing, tie back long hair, and stay
alert around the generator to prevent injury from moving parts.
Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the tools and skills required.
Your authorized service center knows your generator best and is fully equipped to do maintenance
and repair.
To ensure the best quality and reliability, use only new genuine parts or their equivalents for repair or
replacement.
CAUTION:
To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, be careful when working around
gasoline. Use only a nonflammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts. Keep
smoking, sparks, and flames away from all fuel-related parts.
