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.
