SAFETY PRECAUTION
Do not enclose the generator nor cover it with a box. The generator has a built-in forced air cooling system, and

WARNING
Do not operate the generator inside an enclosed or insufficiently 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.
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 area without surface irregularities.
If the generator is tilted or moved during operation, 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.
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.
Do not operate in rain, wet or damp conditions, or with wet hands. The operator may suffer severe electric shock
if the generator is wet.

WARNING
If wet, wipe and dry it well before starting. Do not pour water directly over the generator, nor wash it with water.
Be extremely careful that all necessary electrical grounding procedures are followed during each and every use.
Failure to do so can be fatal.
Do not connect the generator to a commercial power line. Connection to a commercial power line may short
circuit the generator and damage it or cause an electric shock hazard. Use the transfer switch for connecting to
a domestic circuit.
Do not smoke while handling the battery. The battery emits flammable hydrogen gas, which can explode if
exposed to electric arcing or open flame. Keep the area well-ventilated and keep open flames/sparks away when
handling the battery.
Engine becomes extremely hot during and for some time after operation. Keep combustible materials well away
from generator area. Be very careful not to touch any parts of the hot engine especially the muffler area or
serious burns may result. Keep children and all bystanders at a safe distance from work areas.
It is absolutely essential that you know the safe and proper use of the power tool or appliance that you intend
to use. All operators must read, understand and follow the tool/appliance owner’s manual. Tool and appliance
applications and limitations must be understood. Follow all directions given on labels and warnings. Keep all
instruction manuals and literature in a safe place for future reference.
