generator can operate safely, efficiently and reliably only
if it is properly installed, operated and maintained. Many
accidents are caused by failing to follow simple and
fundamental rules or precautions.
The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible
circumstance that might involve a hazard. The warnings in
this manual and on tags and decals affixed to the unit are,
therefore, not all-inclusive. If using a procedure, work
method, or operating technique the manufacturer does not
specifically recommend, verify that it is safe for others.
Also, make sure the procedure, work method or operating
technique utilized does not render the generator unsafe.
