Leaning trees and those which have fallen on roof tops can be
especially challenging. If you are not in good health or unsure about
what you are doing, have someone else with tree cutting experience do
the job. Never cut trees without a partner.

instructions by the manufacturer. Make sure that the generator is run
in a well ventilated space.
