GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty of the generator does not cover items that have been subjected to
operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, operator
must maintain the generator as instructed in this manual.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Refer to the Engine Operator's manual for service and maintenance of the
engine.

GENERATOR MAINTENANCE

Your generator should be kept clean and dry at all times. The generator should
not be stored or operated in environments that includes excessive moisture, dust
or any corrosive vapors. If these substances are on the generator, clean with a
cloth or soft bristle brush. Do not use a garden hose or anything with water
pressure to clean the generator. Water may enter the cooling air slots and could
possibly damage the rotor, stator and the internal windings of the gen head.

GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER GFCI RECEPTACLE

MONTHLY: For maximum protection against electrical shock the GFCI should
be tested monthly.

button does not extend, notify a DeVilbiss Air Power Company Authorized
Warranty Service Center.

To restore power, depress the RESET button firmly into the GFCI unit until an
audible click is heard. If reset properly, the RESET button is flush with the
surface of the test button. When the button stays in, the power is ON.
