Important Safety Information

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.
