Product Manual
If the generator is installed outdoors, it must be weatherproofed and should be
soundproofed. It should not be run outdoors without protection to the generator
and wiring conduit.
Before lifting the generator, ensure the lift rigging and supporting structure are
in good condition, and are rated to lift such a load.
Keep all personnel away from the suspended generator during relocating.
The supporting floor/ground surface should be level and strong enough to safely
hold the weight of the generator. If the floor/grounded surface is not level, strong
cross members should be placed under the full length of the generator frame at
its low side.
For trailer installation, the generator should be mounted on the center point of the
trailer, over the wheels. The trailer must be capable of supporting the weight of
the generator and all contents (tools, etc.).
Install sound-and weatherproofing only when it is not raining or snowing to avoid
trapping moisture within the generator’s area.
Mechanical
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.
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.
The generator is designed with guards for protection from moving parts. Care
must still be taken to protect personnel and equipment from other mechanical
hazards when working around the generator.
Do not operate the generator with safety guards removed. While the generator is
running, do not attempt to reach around the safety guard for maintenance or any
other reason.
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.
Keep access doors on enclosures closed and locked when access is not required.
