1.2 Caution during Operation
 Never touch the output terminals during operation.
 Notice that the voltage of several hundreds volt is applied to
the output terminal.
 When removing or connecting a connecting cable for changing
load, be sure to switch OFF the circuit breaker, remove the
starter key from the starter switch, then carry out a work. The
operator must keep the key during operation.
Neglecting the cautions mentioned above, and a third
party starting the machine during operation may cause
serious accidents such as electric shock.
 Keep hands off from the rotating portion or belts while running.

Never work nearby hot portions of the machine while it
is running.
Do not touch hot portions of the machine while inspecting the
machine when running.
Such parts as engine, exhaust manifold, exhaust pipe, muffler,
and radiator are especially hot, so never touch those parts,
because it could cause scalding.
Coolant water and engine oil are also very hot and dangerous
to touch. Avoid checking or refilling them while the unit is
running.
Do not, under any circumstance, bring lit cigarettes or matches
near such oils as diesel fuel oil, and engine oil, etc.
They are extremely flammable and dangerous, so be careful
when handling.
Refilling oils should be done in an outdoor well-ventilated
place.
Refuel after stopping the engine, and never leave the fuel
nearby the machine. Do not spill. It may cause a fire. When it
is spilt, wipe it up completely.
Do not fill fuel oil up to the cap level. When fuel tank is
filled up to the cap level, fuel oil will be overfilled due to
volume expansion caused by rise of ambient temperature.
Further, fuel will be possibly spilled from fuel tank due to
vibration caused during movement and/or transportation
of machine.
Such parts as muffler and exhaust pipe can be extremely hot.
Remove twigs, dried leaves, dried grass and waste paper, etc.
from the exhaust outlet of the muffler.
Keep a fire extinguisher available by the machine in case of

It is recommended to use a lamp with safety guard fitted
where the site is dark. Operating the machine gropingly or by
relying on one’s intuition could cause unexpected accidents.
Any lamps without safety guard are not recommended since
they can be broken and they could ignite flammables such as
fuel, etc.
Be sure to stop the engine, and let the coolant water
sufficiently cool down before draining it.
If the drain valve is opened before the coolant water is cooled
enough, hot water could jet out, and it could cause scalding.
After stopping the engine, wait 10 to 20 minutes until the engine
oil cools off. Then check the level of the engine oil, or refill or
drain the oil.
The engine oil is very hot during operation and just after it
stops. Be careful because the hot oil also pressurized blows
off and it can cause burning.
When washing the machine, cover the control panel, generator and its electric parts to prevent them
from being exposed to splashing water and avoid possible decrease in electrical insulation or other
troubles to the machine.
Dust, sand and dirt accumulated inside control panel could cause malfunction or trouble of the
instruments. Clean them by blowing compressed air.
Waste liquid from the machine contains harmful material. Do
not discharge it onto the ground or into the river, lake or sea.
Such material will pollute the environment.
Be sure to use a container to hold the waste liquid from the
machine.
Be sure to follow the designated regulations when disposing of
oil, fuel, coolant (antifreeze), filter, battery or other harmful
materials.
