SAFETY RULES
Throughout this publication, and on tags and decals affixed to the
generator, DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE blocks are
used to alert personnel to special instructions about a particular
operation that may be hazardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly.
Observe them carefully. Their definitions are as follows:
INDICATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION OR ACTION

OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Indicates a hazardous situation or action which, if
not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate
injury.
NOTE:
Notes contain additional information important to a procedure
and will be found within the regular text body of this manual.
These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards that they
indicate. Common sense and strict compliance with the special
instructions while performing the action or service are essential to
preventing accidents.
Four commonly used safety symbols accompany the DANGER,
WARNING and CAUTION blocks. The type of information each
indicates is as follows:
