1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not place inflammables near the generator.
Be careful not to place fuel, matches, gunpowder, oily cloths, straw, trash, or any other
inflammables near the generator.
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.
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 2 meter
(6 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.
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.
01

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
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, in wet or damp conditions, or with wet hands.
The operator may suffer severe electric shock it the generator is wet due to
rain or snow.
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 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.
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.
Engine becomes extremely hot during and for some time after operation.
Keep combustible materials well away from generator area.
Be very careful net to touch any parts of the hot engine especially the
muffler area or serious burns may result.
02

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 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.
Notes on Installation
1. Always be sure to place the
generator on a level surface, locking
the wheel with the stopper and/or
chocking the wheels.
2. Select a place which allows you to
maintain and inspect the generator,
which is net exposed to contamination
caused by exhaust gas.
If you are planning to install the
generator without its wheels attached,
consider the work efficiency in terms of
an oil change.
3. In ground connection, be sure to use the designated ground terminal.
(A grounding cable is not included in the set of accessories.)
4. During use, be sure not to disconnect the battery.
5. While the power is on, do not unplug the unit or disconnect cables from the
terminals.
03

1. Precautions that involve your safety
2. Start and run the generator outdoors. Do not run the
generator in an enclosed area, even if doors or windows
are open.
3. To reduce the risk of serious injury, avoid attempting to
touch the hot surface.
4. Units should not be operated or stored in wet or damp
conditions or on highly conductive locations such as metal
decking and steel work.
5. Could not use under the rain.
6. Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive. Fire or explosion can cause severe burns
or death.
7. Ear protection.
8. Read carefully and understand operator manual prior to
operation of this product. Follow all warnings and instructions.
