Throughout this publication, and on tags and

CAUTION and NOTE blocks are used to alert you to
special instruction about a particular operation that
may be hazardous if performed incorrectly or care-
lessly. Observe them carefully. Their definitions are
as follows:

After this heading, you can read instructions that,

After this heading, you can read instructions that, if
not strictly complied with, could result in damage to

NOTE:
After this heading, you can read explanatory
statements that require special emphasis.
These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards
that they indicate. Common sense and strict compli-
ance with the special instructions while performing the
service are essential to preventing accidents.
Four commonly used safety symbols accompany the
DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION blocks. The type
of information each indicates follows:

ty of all vehicle occupants. We strongly recommend
that the operator read this manual and thoroughly
understand all instructions before using this equip-
ment. We also strongly recommend instructing other
occupants in the vehicle to properly start and operate
the generator. This prepares them if they need to oper-
ate the equipment in an emergency.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
