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

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.
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.

gloves, safety eye goggles, and safety hat.

Always follow and complete scheduled engine and generator maintenance.
