1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please make sure you review each precaution carefully.
Pay special attention to statement preceded by the following words.
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 place in fl ammables near the generator.
Be careful not to place fuel, matches, gunpowder, oily cloths, straw, trash, or any other in fl ammables near
the generator.
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
Do not operate the generator near gasoline or gaseous fuel because of the potential
danger of explosion or fi re.
Do not fi ll the fuel tank with fuel while the engine is running.
Do not smoke or use open fl ame 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
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 fi re, generator burnout, or electric shock hazard.
Replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
WARNING
Do not operate the generator inside a room, cave, tunnel, or other insuffi ciently
ventilated area. Always operate it in a well-ventilated area, otherwise the engine
may become overheated, and the poisonous carbon monoxide gas contained in
the exhaust gases will endanger human lives.
Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from any structure or building
during use.
If the generator must be used indoors, the area must be well-ventilated and
extreme caution must be taken regarding the discharge of exhaust gases.
