The choice of the electric cable depends on the allowable current of the cable
and the distance between the load and the generator. And the cable section
should be big enough.
If the current in the cable is bigger than the allowable current, it will become over
hot and the cable will be burnt. If the cable is long and thin, the input voltage of
the electric appliance will be not enough, causing that the generator doesn't start.
In the following formula, you can calculate the value of the potential "e".
The relations among of the allowable current, and length, section of the Insulating
cable (single core, multi-core) are as follow:
(Presume that the use voltage is 220V and the potential is below 10V.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped.
Keep away from cigarette, smoke and sparks when refueling the generator.
Always refuel in a well-ventilated location.
Wipe up spilled gasoline at once.
Restrict application of generator in high-hazard risk to causing fire area.
Connections for standby power to a building's electr-
ical system must be made by a qualified electrician
and must comply with all applicable laws and electri
cal codes. Improper connections can allow electrical
current from the generator to back feed into the utility
lines.Such back feed may electrocute utility company
workers or others who contact the lines during a
power outage, and when utility power is restored,
the generator may explode, burn, or cause fires in
the buildings electrical system.
Always make a pre-operation inspection before you start the engine. You
may prevent an accident or equipment damage.
Place the generator at least 1m(3ft) away from buildings or other equip-
ment during operation.
Operate the generator on a level surface. If the generator is tiled, fuel
spillage may result.
Know how to stop the generator quickly and understand operation of all the
controls. Never permit anyone to operate the generator without proper
instrucions.
Keep children and pets away from the generator when it is in operation.
Keep away from rotating parts while the generator is running.
The generator is a potential source of electrical shocks when misused; do
not operate with wet hands.
Do not operate the generator in rain or snow and do not let it get wet.

*: The declared values shall consider uncertainties due to production variation and
measurement procedures.

Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from the
use of fuels that contain alcohol is not covered under the warranty. We
cannot endorse the use of fuels containing methanol since evidence of
their suitability is as yet incomplete.
Before buying fuel from an unfamiliar station, try to find out if the fuel
contains alcohol, if it does, confirm the type and percentage of alcohol
used. If you notice any undersirable operating symptoms while using a
gasoline that contains alcohol, switch to gasoline that you know does not
contain alcohol.
Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will
result from contaminants, such as dust and dirt, being drawn through the
carburetor, into the engine.
-22-
NOTE
CAUTION
Gasolines containing alcohol
If you decide to use a gasoline containing alcohol(gasohol), be sure its octance
rating is at least as high as that recommended by us. There are two types of
"gasohol": one containing ethanol, and the other containing methanol. Do not use
gasohol that contains more than 10% ethanol. Do not sue gasoline containing
methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) that does not also contain cosolvents and
corrosion inhibitors for methanol. Never use gasoline containing more than 5%
methanol, even if it has cosolevents and corrosion inhibitors.
3.3 Check the air cleaner
Check the air cleaner elements to be sure they are clean and in good condition.
Open the left side maintenance cover. Remove the air cleaner cover, remove the
paper element from the air cleaner cover, and check the both elements, clean or
replace the element(s) if necessary, see fig.5.

High altitude operation
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich
Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase.
High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main
fuel jet in the carburetor and readjusting the pilot screws. If you always operate the
generator at altitudes higher than 1,500 m (5,000 feet) above sea level, have
your authorized dealer perform these carburetor modifications.
Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease
approximately 3.5% for each 305 m (1.000 feet) increase in altitude. The effect of
altitude on the horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is
made.

CAUTION
WARNING
-15-
Shut off the engine before performing any maintenance. If the engine must
be run, make sure the area is well ventilated. The exhaust contains poison-
ous carbon monoxide gas.
Use genuine our parts or the equivalent. The use of replacement parts
which are not of equivalent quality may damage the generator.
6.STOP-ING THE ENGINE
-14-
2. Start the engine
The DC receptacle may be used while the AC power is in use.
An overloaded DC circuit will trip the DC circuit protector (push button comesout).
If this happens, wait a few minutes before pushing in the circuit protector to
resume operation.
5.4 Low oil alarm system
To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the engine switch OFF.
In normal use:
1. Switch off the connected equipment and pull the inserted plug.
2. Turn off the engine switch.
3. Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position.
The low oil alarm system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an
insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase
falls below a safe limit, the low oil alarm system will automatically shut down the
engine(the engine switch will remain in the ON position).
If the low oil alarm system shuts down the engine the red low oil alarm indicator
light will come on when you operate the starter, and the engine will not run. If this
occurs, search for any oil leaks. And engine oil to resume normal operation.
