Mods and liability.
Do we KNOW that modifying a generator increases or decreases the liability? if so, what mods?
Can you clean it?
Can you bolt it to a trailer?
Can you refuel it?
Can you ground it?
Can you connect the ground to the neutral?
Can you paint it?
I know that I have often observed insurance and liability used as a stick (Customers are not allowed in the shop for insurance liability reasons.) but I have never talked to a insurance company or lawyer who could really tell me.
For that matter, has anyone ever got a straight answer from a insurance company?
I write this as a guy who has restored and modified cars. OK I have modified every car I have ever owned. Also a guy who designed and built the house I live in, and has helped other volunteers do a lot of building, rebuilding, and modification at church.
My mower is extensively modified (Tires, hitch, oil cooler, and more) I think my 53 Farmall is stock, no, I added fenders and changed the lights, and I modified my hammer.
