Lifting the Generator.
CAUTION Excessively high operating speeds increase
risk of injury and damage to generator.
Excessively low speeds impose a heavy load on generator.
• DO NOT tamper with governed speed. Generator supplies
correct rated frequency and voltage when running at
governed speed.
• DO NOT modify generator in any way.
NOTICE Exceeding generators wattage/amperage
capacity can damage generator and/or electrical devices
connected to it.
• See Essential Circuits in operator's manual.
• Start generator and let engine stabilize before connecting
electrical loads.
NOTICE Improper treatment of generator can damage it
and shorten its life.
• Use generator only for intended uses.
• If you have questions about intended use, contact your
authorized dealer.
• Operate generator only on level surfaces.
• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilating air
is critical to correct generator operation.
• The access panels/doors must be installed whenever the
unit is running.
• DO NOT expose generator to excessive moisture, dust,
dirt, or corrosive vapors.
• Remain alert at all times while working on this equipment.
Never work on the equipment when you are physically
or mentally fatigued.
• DO NOT start engine with air cleaner or air cleaner
cover removed.
• DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots.
• DO NOT use the generator or any of its parts as a step.
Stepping on the unit can cause stress and break parts.
This may result in dangerous operating conditions from
leaking exhaust gases, fuel leakage, oil leakage, etc.
• If connected devices overheat, turn them off and
disconnect them from generator.
• Shut off generator if:
- electrical output is lost;
- equipment sparks, smokes, or emits flames;
- unit vibrates excessively.
