A FEW WORDS ABOUT SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important. And using
this generator safely is an important responsibility.
To help you make informed decisions about safety, we have provided
operating procedures and other information on labels and in this
manual. This information alerts you to potential hazards that could
hurt you or others.
Of course, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all the
hazards associated with operating or maintaining a generator. You
must use your own good judgment.
You will find important safety information in a variety of forms,
including:
Safety Labels
- on the generator.
Safety Messages
- preceded by a safety alert symbol
and one
of three signal words, DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION
These signal words mean:
You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you
don’t follow instructions.

don’t follow instructions.
You CAN be HURT if you don’t follow instructions.
