Safety Rules
Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before installing,
operating, or servicing this equipment. Become familiar
with this installation manual, the owner’s manual, and
with the unit. The generator can operate safely,
efficiently, and reliably only if it is properly installed,
operated, and maintained. Many accidents are caused by
failing to follow simple and fundamental rules or
precautions.
The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible
circumstance that might involve a hazard. The alerts in
this manual and on tags and decals affixed to the unit are
not all-inclusive. If using a procedure, work method, or
operating technique the manufacturer does not
specifically recommend, verify that it is safe for others
and does not render the generator unsafe.
