REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect that could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Multiquip at 1-800-421-1244.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or Multiquip.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888­327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), go to http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov; or write to:
Administrator NHTSA 1200 New Jersey Avenue S.E. Washington, DC 20590
You can also obtain information about motor vehicle safety from http://www.safecar.gov.

Wet stacking is a common problem with diesel engines which are operated for extended periods with light or no load applied. When a diesel engine operates without suffi cient load (less than 30-35% of the rated output), it will not operate at its optimum temperature. This will allow unburned fuel to accumulate in the exhaust system, which can foul the fuel injectors, engine valves and exhaust system, including turbochargers, and reduce

Wet stacking does not usually cause any permanent
damage and can be alleviated if additional load is applied to relieve the condition. It can reduce the system performance and increase maintenance. Applying an increasing load over a period of time until the excess fuel is burned off and the system capacity is reached usually can repair the condition. This can take several
The engine fuel exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide. This gas is colorless and odorless, and can cause death if inhaled.
The engine of this generator requires an adequate, free fl ow of cooling air. NEVER operate this equipment in any enclosed or narrow area where free fl ow of the air is restricted. If the air fl ow is restricted it will cause injury to people and property and serious damage to the equipment or engine.

Codes specify that in certain locations, spark arresters must be used on internal combustion engines that use hydrocarbon fuels. A spark arrester is a device designed to prevent accidental discharge of sparks or fl ames from the engine exhaust. Spark arresters are qualifi ed and rated by the United States Forest Service for this purpose. In order to comply with local laws regarding spark arresters, consult the engine distributor or the local Health and Safety Administrator.
DANGER
NEVER start the engine near spilled fuel or combustible
