PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION
Note: Always perform the recommended pre-operation inspections before each
use. Always perform the inspections at the beginning of a project and
when removing the generator from storage.
Failure to perform the recommended pre-operation inspections could
result in minor or moderate injury or property damage. When inspection
reveals the need for adjustment, replacement, or repair, perform service
promptly.
Pre-Operation Checklist
Open the service door to expose the generator inner components. See
page 46.
