Gillette Generators SP-1500 - Manual (Page 7)

PAGE 7
This gen-set may have an all weather protected metal
enclosure, MADE EXCLUSIVELY FOR OUTDOOR
INSTALLATION, and will operate on its specific fuel.
GILLETTE GENERATORS has made every effort to
present a modern, safe generator set that will give
you a safe, clean supply of an alternative electrical
source. However, because each installation is
different, it is impossible for this manual and
GILLETTE to know and advise against all possible
hazards. The listings of dangers, warnings, cautions,
and notices in this manual and on tags and decals
affixed to the generator set, are therefore, NOT ALL
INCLUSIVE. If a certain procedure, work method,
test method, or operating procedure is used, and is
not recommended by GILLETTE, the person or
company responsible for the generator modification,
must assume all responsibility for safety and correct
operation for the operator, service technician, and all
others within generator area.
READ YOUR GENERATOR SET MANUAL, PLUS
SEPARATE ENGINE OPERATORS MANUAL AND
AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH MANUAL
CAREFULLY. KNOW YOUR EQUIPMENT
BEFORE YOU USE IT. CONSIDER ANY POSSIBLE,
POTENTIAL HAZARDS, BEFORE OPERATING
YOUR GENERATOR SET.
CAUTION: Only current licensed electrical and
plumbing contractors should install your standby
generator. All phase of installation must comply with
all applicable local and national codes, industry
standards, and regulations.
THE GILLETTE WARRANTY IS AUTOMATICALLY
NULL AND VOID WITHOUT THE USE OF
LICENSED ELECTRICIANS AND PLUMBERS, AND
