ENGLISH
To prevent electrical shock the following instruction must be followed.
Before the generator can be connected to a building’s electrical
system, a licensed electrician must install an isolation (transfer) switch
in the building’s main fuse box. The switch is the connection point for
generator power and allows selection of generator or main line power
to the building.
This will prevent the generator from charging the main power line
(backfeeding) when the main power supply has failed or has been
turned off for line repair. Backfeeding can electrocute or injure line
maintenance personnel. Also, generator and building electrical system
damage can occur when normal operating power returns if unit is used
without an isolation switch.

4 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ENGLISH
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
AWhen checking engine or servicing, place the
engine on a wide and level ground. DO NOT work
on anything that is supported ONLY by lift jacks
or a hoist. Always use blocks or correct stands
to support the engine before servicing.
ADetach the battery from the engine before
conducting service. Put a "DO NOT OPERATE!"
tag in the key switch to avoid accidental starting.
ATo avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit
always disconnect the battery's ground cable (-)
first and connect it last.
ABe sure to stop the engine and remove the key
when conducting daily and periodic
maintenance, servicing and cleaning.
ACheck or conduct maintenance after the engine,
coolant, muffler, or muffler cover have been
cooled off completely.
AAlways use the appropriate tools and jig-fixture
in good condition when performing any service
work. Make sure you understand how to use
them before service.
AUse ONLY correct engine barring techniques for
manually rotating the engine. DO NOT attempt to
rotate the engine by pulling or prying on the
cooling fan and V-belt. This practice can cause
serious personal injury or premature machine
damage to the cooling fan.
AReplace fuel pipes and lubricant pipes with their
hose clamps every 2 years or earlier whether
they are damaged or not. They are made of
rubber and are aged gradually.
AWhen servicing is performed together by two or
more persons, take care to perform all work
safely.
AKeep first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy at
all times.
