SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Please make sure you review each precaution carefully.

Pay special attention to statement preceded by the following words.

DANGER “DANGER” indicates a possibility of death or serious injury if instructions are not followed.

WARNING “WARNING” indicates a strong possibility of severe personal injury or loss of life if instructions are not followed.

CAUTION “CAUTION” indicates a possibility of personal injury or equipment damage if instructions are not followed.

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 place in flammables near the generator.

Be careful not to place fuel, matches, gunpowder, oily cloths, straw, trash, or any other in flammables near the generator.

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.

1m

Operate generator only outdoors and far from open windows, doors,

 

ventilation intakes and other openings.

1m

Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away , including overhead, from

 

any structure or building use.

 

WARNING

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.
