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 system unsafe.
