CAUTION:

Failure to follow instructions in this manual may lead to serious injury or even death! This equipment is to be operated by trained and qualified personnel only! This equipment is for industrial use only.

The following safety guidelines should always be used when operating the GA-9.7 HZ Generator:

GENERAL SAFETY

■DO NOT operate or service this equipment before reading this entire manual.

■This equipment should not be operated by persons under 18 years of age.

■NEVER operate this equipment without proper protective clothing, shatterproof glasses, steel-toed boots and other protective devices required by the job.

■This generator is a source of potentially LETHAL high voltage. Never permit unqualified personnel-especially children to operate the generator.

■Always refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from sparks and open flames.

■Always use extreme caution when working with flammable liquids. When refueling, stop the engine and allow it to cool. DO NOT smoke around or near the machine. Fire or explosion could result from fuel vapors, or if fuel is spilled on a hot engine.

■This generator is equipped with a ground terminal for your protection. Always complete the grounding path from the generator to an external grounding source.

■NEVER operate this generator, or handle any electrical equipment while standing in water, while bare foot, while hands are wet, or in the rain. Electrical shock could occur causing severe bodily harm or even death.

■Keep electrical cords in good condition. Worn, bare or frayed wiring can cause electrical shock, leading to bodily harm or even death.

■This generator requires an adequate free flow of cooling air. Never operate the generator in any enclosed or narrow area where free flow of the air is restricted. If the air flow is restricted it will cause serious damage to the generator and may cause injury to people.

■NEVER touch the hot exhaust manifold, muffler or cylinder. Allow these parts to cool before servicing generator.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

■Provide adequate ventilation when operating the generator. DO NOT operate the generator in any enclosed or narrow space. The generator's gasoline engine gives off DEADLY carbon monoxide gas.

■NEVER operate the generator in an explosive atmosphere or near combustible materials. An explosion or fire could result causing severe bodily harm or even death.

■Always make sure that the generator is secure on level ground so that it cannot slide or shift around, endangering workers. Also keep the immediate area free of bystanders.

■When using a concrete vibrator or a similar device that is immersed in a water based solution, make sure the device is equipped with short circuit protection.

■Always use rubber boots and gloves when operating a concrete vibrator or similar device.

■Use adequate size connecting cable for extension.

■Maintain electrical cords in good condition and frequently replace the entire cable of the concrete vibrator with a new one.

■HighTemperatures – Allow the machine and engine to cool before adding fuel or performing service and maintenance functions. Contact with hot components can cause serious burns.

Emergencies

■Always know the location of the nearest fire extinguisher and first aid kit. Know the location of the nearest telephone. Also know the phone numbers of the nearest ambulance, doctor and fire department. This information will be invaluable in the case of an emergency.

Maintenance Safety

■NEVER lubricate components or attempt service on a running machine.

■Always allow the machine a proper amount of time to cool before servicing.

■Keep the machinery in proper running condition.

■Fix damage to the machine immediately and always replace broken parts.

■Dispose of hazardous waste properly.Examples of potentially hazardous waste are used motor oil, fuel and fuel filters.

■DO NOT use food or plastic containers to dispose of hazardous waste.

■DO NOT pour waste, oil or fuel directly onto the ground, down a drain or into any water source
