WARNING

Do not operate the generator near gasoline or gaseous fuel because of the potential danger of explosion or fire.

Do not fill the fuel tank with fuel while the engine is running. Do not smoke or use open flame near the fuel tank. Be careful not to spill fuel during refueling.

If fuel is spilt, wipe it off and let dry before starting the engine.

WARNING

Do not operate the generator inside a room, cave, tunnel, or other insufficiently ventilated area.

Always operate it in a well-ventilated area, otherwise the engine may become overheated, and the poisonous carbon monoxide gas, an odorless, colorless, poison gas, contained in the exhaust gas will endanger human lives.

Operate generator only outdoors and far from open windows, doors, ventilation intakes and other openings.

Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away , including overhead, from any structure or building use.

WARNING

1m

1m

Do not enclose the generator nor cover it with a box. The generator has a built-in forced air cooling system, and may become overheated if it is enclosed.

If generator has been covered to protect it from the weather during non use, be sure to remove it and keep it well away from the area during generator use.

WARNING

Operate the generator on a level surface.

It is not necessary to prepare a special foundation for the generator.

However, the generator will vibrate on an irregular surface, so choose a level place without surface irregularities. If the generator is tilted or moved during operation, fuel may spill and / or the generator may tip over, causing a hazardous situation.

Proper lubrication cannot be expected if the generator is operated on a steep incline or slope. In such a case, piston seizure may occur even if the oil is above the upper level.

WARNING

Pay attention to the wiring or extension cords from the generator to the connected device.

If the wire is under the generator or in contact with a vibrating part, it may break and possibly cause a fire, generator burnout, or electric shock hazard.

Replace damaged or worn cords immediately.

WARNING

Do not operate in rain, in wet or damp conditions, or with wet hands.

The operator may suffer severe electric shock if the generator is wet due to rain or snow.
