1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
−1−
ENGLISH
Please make sure you review each precaution carefully.
Do not operate the generator near gasoline or gaseous fuel because of the
potential danger of explosion or fire.
Do not fill the fuel tank with fuel while the engine is running. Do not smoke or
use open flame 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
Do not operate the generator inside a room, cave, tunnel, or other
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.
WARNING
Do not place in flammables near the generator.
Be careful not to place fuel, matches, gunpowder, oily cloths, straw, trash, or any other in flammables
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
1m
1m
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
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.
WARNING
G12000R(CSA)GU204405.1.201:29PMページ1

−2−
Do not contact the generator to a commercial power line. Connection to a commercial
power line may short circuit the generator and ruin it or cause electric shock hazard.
Use the transfer switch for connecting to domestic circuit.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
No smoking 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.
WARNING
Do not operate in rain, in wet or damp conditions, or with wet hands.
The operator may suffer severe electric shock if the generator is wet due to rain or snow.
WARNING
Keep children and all bystanders at a safe distance from work areas.
WARNING
If wet, wipe and dry it well before starting. Do not pour water directly over the generator, nor wash it
with water.
WARNING
Be extremely careful that all necessary electrical grounding procedures are followed during each and
every use. Failure to do so can be fatal.
WARNING
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 owners 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.
WARNING
Use only "LISTED" extension cords.
When a tool or appliance is used outdoors, use only extension cords marked "For Outdoor Use".
Extension cords, when not in use should be stored in a dry and well ventilated area.
WARNING
Always switch off generator's AC circuit breaker and disconnect tools or appliances when not in use,
before servicing, adjusting, or installing accessories and attachments.
WARNING
Make sure the engine is stopped before starting any maintenance, servicing or repair.
[CAUTION]
NOTE :
Make sure maintenance and repair of the generator set are performed by properly trained personnel only.

CHECK ENGINE OIL
Before checking or refilling oil, be sure
generator is located on stable and level
surface with engine stopped.
1) Remove oil level gauge and check the
engine oil level.
2) If oil level is below the lower level "L"
refill with suitable oil (see table) to upper
level "F" after removing the engine oil
filler cap.
3) Change oil if contaminated.
(See "How-To" Maintenance.)
Recommended engine oil :
Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil
of API service class SE or higher
grade
(SG, SH or SJ is recommended).
SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 is
recommended for general, all-
temperature use. If single viscosity oil
is used, select the appropriate
viscosity for the average temperature
in your area.
Oil capacity :
1.55 liters (Upper level)
NOTE :
■The engine is equipped with an oil sensor
unit (hydraulic pressure detection type)
that will automatically stop the engine if
oil in the crank case is reduced below the
specified level. Should the engine be
automatically stopped, be sure to check
the amounts of fuel and oil.
■When the oil is reduced below the
specified level, add new oil to the upper
limit. Since the oil sensor will not detect
the deterioration of oil, visually check the
quality or determine it by the specified
time and then change the oil if necessary.

BATTERY INSTALLATION
Recommended Battery
Lead-acid battery : A capacity of 12V-32A・h or larger.
For the generators used in low temperature (below -5℃),
12V-40A
・h or larger battery is recommended.
1)Attach terminals to a lead-acid battery already charged. Mount the battery onto
the position as specified below, with its terminals facing inward.
2) Insert each long bolt through the specified hole, its tip pointing outward.
3) Put the supporting arm on the long bolts and tighten with the butterfly nuts.
(Push the lead-acid battery all the way inward.)
4) Arrange the wiring so that it won't be damaged by possible vibration caused by
the engine.
5) Only after checking that the engine's starter key is in the "OFF" position,
securely connect the red cable, to the positive (+) terminal. And then connect
the other cable to the negative (-) terminal.

ENGLISH
(1) Make sure that the AC circuit breaker
is off.
(2) Turn the fuel cock to the vertical
(open) position
(3) Turn the key switch to the "START"
position.
If the engine won't start, turn the
switch back to "RUN" position and then
wait for approximately 10 seconds to
try it again.
NOTE :
■You might have to keep the starter
running for at least 3 to 5 seconds,
since the engine incorporates the
mechanism in it where the ignition
circuit is activated by the increase of
hydraulic pressure.
■In the following occasion, two or three
trials may be required for starting the
engine :
a. The very first starting of a new
generator.
b. After the refueling of the engine
which has been stopped due to fuel
shortage.
c. Starting after the oil filter change.
d. Warm the engine up for a minute or
two. Longer time would be needed in

The duplex 120V receptacle is protected by a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter). GFCI shuts off the output current from the duplex 120V
receptacle when a ground fault occurs in the generator or the appliance.
Please note that other receptacles are not protected by GFCI.
[CAUTION]
GFCI RECEPTACLE
After starting the engine, check the GFCI for proper functioning by the following
test procedure.
■Push blue TEST button, The red RESET button will pop out exposing the word
TRIP. Power is now off at the outlets protected by the GFCI, indicating that the
device is functioning properly.
■If TRIP dose not appear when testing, do not use the generator.
Call a qualified electrician.
■To restore power, push RESET button.
If the RESET button pops out during operation, stop the generator
immediately and call a qualified electrician for checking generator and
the appliances.
