Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before installing, operating
or servicing this equipment. Become familiar with this manual and
with the unit. The generator can operate safely, efficiently and reli-
ably only if it is properly installed, operated and maintained. Many
accidents are caused by failing to follow simple and fundamental
rules or precautions.
The manufacturer cannot possibly know of and advise the rec-
reational vehicle trade of all conceivable methods, procedures or
techniques by which to perform an installation. Nor can the manu-
facturer anticipate every possible hazard that might result from
each installation method, procedure or technique. The manufactur-
er has not undertaken any such wide evaluation. Therefore, people
who use a method, procedure or technique that the manufacturer
does not specifically recommend must first completely satisfy
themselves that their safety, the safety of the vehicle's occupants
and the product's safety is not endangered by the method, proce-
dure or technique selected.
Information, illustrations, specifications, etc., contained in these
Installation Instructions are based on the latest information avail-
able at the time of publication. Every effort has been expended
to be sure that such data is both accurate and current. However,
the manufacturer reserves the right to change, alter or otherwise
improve this product at any time without prior notice.
