the generator, DANGER and CAUTION blocks are used to alert
you to special instructions about a particular operation that may
be hazardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly. Observe
them carefully.

sures to prevent accidents.

The operator (driver) is responsible for proper and safe use
of the vehicle, equipment on the vehicle, and the safety of all
vehicle occupants. We strongly recommend that the opera­
tor read this Owner’s Manual and thoroughly understand ^11
instructions before using this equipment. We also strongly rec­
ommend instructing other occupants in the vehicle to properly
start and operate the generator. This prepares them if they
need to operate the equipment in an emergency.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
It is the operator's responsibility to perform all safety checks;
to make sure that all maintenance for safe operation is per­
formed promptly: and to have the equipment checked by an
Authorized Dealer periodically. Normal maintenance service
and replacement of parts are the responsibility of the
Owner/Operator and, as such, are not considered defects in
materials or workmanship within the terms of the warranty. Indi­
vidual operating habits and usage contribute to the need for
maintenance service.
Proper maintenance and care of your Industrial Mobile Gen­
erator assures a minimum number of problems and keeps your
operating expenses at a minimum. See your authorized
Dealer/Distributor for service aids and accessories.
