waterproof material when it is not being operated.
Keep all generator access doors closed, as much as
possible, to prevent entry of salt water into housing
assembly.
Wash exterior surfaces frequently with clean water

The generator set will operate at elevations up to 4000
feet (1219.1
meters) above - sea level without special
adjustment or reduction in load. At elevations greater than
4000 feet (1219.1 meters) above sea level, the kilowatt rating
is reduced approximately 3.5 percent for each additional 1000
feet (304.8 meters).
