HOW TO PREVENT IT

RISK OF MOVING PARTS

guarding or cover plates
removed. Avoid wearing loose
fitting clothing or jewelry which
could be caught by moving parts.

covered by guarding to prevent
injury.

moving parts

The generator is too heavy to be
lifted by one person. Obtain as-
sistance from others before you
try to move it.
