Operation and Maintenance: Proper maintenance and care of the generator
ensures a minimum number of problems and keeps operating expenses at a mini-
mum. It is the operator’s responsibility to perform all safety checks, to make sure that
all maintenance for safe operation is performed promptly, and to have the equipment
checked periodically by an independent Authorized Service Dealer. Normal mainte-
nance, service and replacement of parts are the responsibility of the owner/operator
and, as such, are not considered defects in materials or workmanship within the
terms of the warranty. Individual operating habits and usage may contribute to the
need for additional maintenance or service.
When the generator requires servicing or repairs, contact an independent Authorized
Service Dealer for assistance. Authorized service technicians are factory-trained and
are capable of handling all service needs.
