CAUTION Excessively high operating speeds
could result in minor injury and/or equipment
damage.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 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 Oil Fill, Oil Drain and the Control Panel doors
must be installed whenever the unit is running.
• DO NOT expose generator to excessive moisture,
dust, dirt, or corrosive vapors.
• Despite the safe design of the generator, operating this
equipment imprudently, neglecting its maintenance or

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;
