BEFORE OPERATION
ARE YOU READY TO GET STARTED?
Knowledge
IS YOUR GENERATOR READY TO GO?
Your safety is your responsibility. A little time spent in preparation will
significantly reduce your risk of injury.
Read and understand this manual. Know what the controls do and
how to operate them.
Familiarize yourself with the generator and its operation before you
begin using it. Know how to quickly shut off the generator in case of
an emergency.
For your safety, and to maximize the service life of your equipment, it
is very important to take a few moments before you operate the
generator to check its condition. Be sure to take care of any problem
you find, or have your servicing dealer correct it, before you operate
the generator.
Improperly maintaining this
generator, or failing to correct a
problem before operation, could
cause a malfunction in which you
could be seriously injured.
Always perform a preoperation
inspection before each operation,
and correct any problem.
Before beginning your preoperation checks, be sure the generator is
on a level surface and the engine switch is in the OFF position.
To prevent a possible fire, keep the generator at least 3 feet (1 meter)
away from building walls and other equipment during operation. Do
not place flammable objects close to the engine.
If the generator is being used to power appliances, be sure that they
do not exceed the generator’s load rating (see page
). 34
