IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
The safety alert symbol ( ) is used with a signal word
(DANGER, CAUTION, WARNING), 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. NOTICE, 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.
NOTE: Your generator is equipped with a spark arrester
muffler. The spark arrester must be maintained in effective
working order by the owner/operator. In the State of
California, a spark arrester is required by law (Section 4442
of the California Public Resources Code). Other states may
have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands.
