SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Rules
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to
alert you to potential personal injury
hazards. Obey all safety messages that
follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or
death.
The safety alert symbol ( ) is used with a signal word
(DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION), a pictorial
and/or a safety message to alert you to hazards.
DANGER indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury. WARNING indicates a
hazard which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury. CAUTION indicates a hazard which, if not
avoided, might result in minor or moderate injury.
CAUTION, when used without the alert symbol,
indicates a situation that could result in equipment
damage. Follow safety messages to avoid or reduce the
risk of injury or death.
The manufacturer cannot possibly anticipate every
possible circumstance that might involve a hazard. The
warnings in this manual, and the tags and decals affixed to
the unit are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If you use a
procedure, work method or operating technique that the
manufacturer does not specifically recommend, you must
satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and others. You must
also make sure that the procedure, work method or
operating technique that you choose does not render the
generator unsafe.
