FOREWORD
The function of this book is to provide the user of the Stamford
generator with an understanding of the principles of operation,
the criteria for which the generator has been designed, and the
installation and maintenance procedures. Specific areas where
the lack of care or use of incorrect procedures could lead to
equipment damage and/or personal injury are highlighted, with
WARNING and/or CAUTION notes. It is important that the
contents of this book are read and understood before
proceeding to fit or use the generator.
The Service, Sales and technical staff of Newage International
are always ready to assist. Reference to the company for
advice is welcomed.
Warning!
Incorrect installation, operation,
servicing or replacement of parts
can result in severe personal injury
or death, and/or equipment damage.
Service personnel must be qualified
to perform electrical and mechanical
service.
