MECHANICAL PRECAUTIONS
1. ALWAYS make sure the Power Switch is in its “OFF” position. Disconnect the
spark plug wire, and allow the Engine to completely cool before carrying out
maintenance.
2. Check for damaged parts. Before using the Generator, any part that appears
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving
parts, any broken parts or mounting fixtures, and any other condition that may
affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by a qualified technician.
3. The Generator is designed with guards for protection from moving parts. In any
case, care must still be taken to protect personnel and equipment from other
mechanical hazards when working around the generator.
4. Do not operate the Generator with safety guards removed. While the Generator is
running, do not attempt to reach around the safety guards for maintenance or any
other reason.
5. Keep hands, arms, long hair, loose clothing, and jewelry away from moving parts.
Be aware that when engine parts are moving fast they cannot be seen clearly.
6. Keep access doors on enclosures closed and locked when access is not re-
quired.
7. When working on or around the Generator always wear protective clothing includ-
ing ANSI approved safety gloves, safety eye goggles, and safety hat.
8. Do not alter or adjust any part of the Generator that is assembled and supplied by
the manufacturer.
9. Always follow and complete scheduled Engine and Generator maintenance.
