INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your purchase of this SENTRY-PRO

GILLETTE GENERATORS, INC. This generator set is
intended for use as an alternative source of electric
power to operate normally required household
electric loads, during a utility power failure.
This generator set has an all weather protected metal
enclosure, MADE EXCLUSIVELY FOR OUTDOOR
INSTALLATION, and will operate on either vapor
withdrawal liquid propane gas (LPG) or natural gas
(NG). CAUTION: This generator does not comply
with emergency power as defined in NFPA 70 of
National Electric Code.
GILLETTE GENERATORS has made every effort to
present a modern, safe generator set that will give
you a safe, clean supply of an alternative source.
However, because each installation is different, it is
impossible for this manual and GILLETTE to know and
advise against all possible hazards. The listings,
warnings, and cautions in this manual and on tags and
decals affixed to the generator set, are therefore,
NOT ALL INCLUSIVE. If a certain procedure, work
method, test method, or operating procedure is used,
and is not recommended by GILLETTE, the person or
company responsible for the generator modification,
must assume all responsibility for safety and correct
operation for the operator, service technician, and all
others within generator area.
