1. Safety Instructions
WARNING : EXHAUST GAS POISONING
Do not operate the generator in poorly ventilated areas suchas indoorsor tunnels, as theexhaust
gas of the engine contains substances that are harmful tohumanhealth.
Do not direct exhaust fumes at bystanders or buildings.
WARNING : ELECTRIC SHOCK
Before connecting or disconnecting loadcables to/from theoutput terminal, always turn the output
circuit breakers to the OFFposition, stop the engine, and remove the ignitionkey.
Close the output terminalcover before operating.
Do not insert a pin, wireor other metalobject into theelectrical outlet.
Do not touchthe generator if the generator or casing becomes wet during operation.
Do not touchoutput terminalsor internal electric partswhilethegenerator isoperating.
WARNING : INJURY
Closeall doors and lock themduring operation.
Do not openthe check door during operation. Be careful of pinching or catching of moving parts
such asthecooling fan and fan belt.
Always besureto stop the engine and remove the engine keywhen performing inspection or
maintenance.
Do not suspend using tie downs. Use of such could result in the generator falling.
Do not lift any additional weight such as fueltanks or trailers.
No personsshouldbe underasuspendedgenerator.
Always besuretocheck that the breakers onloadside andswitchesfor any equipment using the
generatorareatOFFbefore turning the breakertoON.Also besureto advise personnelon the
loadside that power will be turnedon or off before operating the breaker.
Do not use thefuel tank lifting hook to suspend a gas tank that contains fuel, anddo not suspend
with the fueltank and spill containment as a single unit. Doing so couldresult in the tank falling.
CAUTION : EYE/SKIN INJURY
Wear rubber gloves and other protective wear to protect eyes, skin and clothing from the battery
fluid which contains dilutedsulfuric acid. If thebattery fluidcontacts eyesor skin, wash out
immediatelywith a sufficient amount of clean water. Be sure to receive medicaltreatment,
especiallyif the fluid contacts the eyes.
CAUTION : EXPLOSION
Never use or recharge thebattery if the fluid level is below the minimum level.
Do not create sparks or bring flame near thebattery as it generatesflammable gas.

3
CAUTION : FIRE
Do not bring flammable items (such as fuel, gas and paint) or items that are highly combustible
near thegenerator as the muffler, exhaust gas and other parts become extremely hot.
Position this generator 3 ft. (1 m) or more from walls or other hindrances, and on a levelsurface.
Do not connect thegenerator output to indoor wiring.
Thisgenerator uses diesel fuel.Always be sureto stoptheengine and not bringflames close
when inspecting fuel or refueling.Wait until theengine has cooledbefore performing such
procedures.
If fuelspills, always be sureto openthe spill containment drainvalve and drainoff the spilledfuel.
If fuelor oil is leaking, repair the leaking location before operating.
Always besureto wipe up anyspilled fuel or oil.
Allowthegenerator to cool beforecovering withthe protective cover.
Neverallowflame tocomeclose to thegenerator.
CAUTION : BURNS
Do not touch the engine and surroundingcomponents immediatelyafter stopping theengine as
theyarestillhot.
Do not openthe radiatorcap immediately after stopping the engine. Doing so will result in hot
steam gushing out.
Hot steam gushes out from the coolant sub-tank if the generator overheats. Do nottouch the
coolant sub-tank.
Always besureto stop the engine and allowthe engine to coolwhen performing inspection or
maintenance of engine oil. Opening the oilgauge or oil filler cap during operation will result in hot
oil gushingout.
CAUTION : INJURY
Always besuretouse lifting hookswhensuspending the generator, and slowly lift it straightup.
Personnel performing suspensionwork must wear protective gear such as helmets, safety shoes
and gloves.
Remove the woodties if using anchors to secure the generator
Position thegenerator on a levelstable surfaceso that it cannot slide or move in anymanner.
Before starting operation, always be sure to turnoff all switches of equipment using the generator
and all breakerstoOFF.
Do not move the generator during operation.
Do not operate the generator if it has been modified or anyparts have beenremoved.
CAUTION : PROPERTY DAMAGE
If using this generator for medical equipment, check beforeuse withthe medical equipment
manufacturer, doctor, hospitalor similar entity.
Check that the generator output setting, output terminalconnection and loadpower sourceare
consistent.
Cable burnout can occur due to generated heat if the load current exceeds theallowable current
of the cable.
The voltagedrop between cables is largeif the cable is excessively long or thin, resulting in
decreased input voltageto equipment using the generator,thereby causing decreased
performance, faulty operation andmalfunction.
