About Operation or Maintenance
All required safety checks that need to be performed
are the responsibility of the operators. Listed within the
Owners Manual are safety precautions to be followed to
prevent personal injuries to persons around the unit and
to prevent property damage.
Immediately inspect the generator carefully for freight
loss or damage upon arrival. If loss or damage is noted
at the time of delivery, require the person making the
delivery to note the loss or damage on the freight bill, or
affix his signature under the consignor’s memo of the
loss or damage. Contact the carrier for claim
procedures.
When loss or damage is noted after delivery,
segregate the damaged material, and contact the carrier
for claim procedures. Be sure to retain the packaging
material for carrier inspection.
“Concealed Damage” is understood to mean damage
to the contents of a package which is not evident at the
time of delivery by the carrier, but which is discovered
later. The carrier or carriers are responsible for
merchandise lost or damaged in transit. The title to
goods rests with the consignee when generators are
shipped F.O.B. factory, and only the consignee can
legally file a claim.
After inspecting the generator, engine and enclosure
for physical damage, finish reading the Operating and
Maintenance Instructions. These manuals contain
important safety information.
Taking a few moments to pre-plan before beginning
installation of the generator can provide significant
savings in materials and labor and lower future
maintenance. Some items to consider in planning
generator installation are safe generator operation, use
of an Automatic Transfer Switch, load requirements,
generator location, fuel supply, environmental conditions
and applicable local, regional or national codes. Some
areas may require building permits and/or detailed site
inspections prior to approving the unit for use. Check
with local authorities before starting installation.
Installation of a standby engine/generator system is
complex and should not be considered a Do-It-Yourself
project. Safe installation requires the skill and knowledge
of licensed electricians, plumbers, and professional
generator contractors. Contact an authorized dealer for
assistance with installation planning and referral to
properly qualified, licensed installing contractors.
