1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Please make sure you review each precaution carefully.

Pay special attention to statement preceded by the following words.

“WARNING” indicates a strong possibility of severe personal injury or loss

of life if instructions are not followed.

“CAUTION” indicates a possibility of personal injury or

equipment damage if instructions are not followed.

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

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

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

CAUTION

on page 5 and restart the engine.

starting

procedures, check the oil level.

Do not remove OIL SENSOR PROBE when

refilling with oil.

Remove oil filler cap on the opposite side

of carburetor.

CAUTION

Some appliances need a "surge" of energy when starting.

This means that the amount of electrical power

needed

to start the appliance may exceed the amount

needed to maintain its use.

Electrical appliances and tools normally come with

a label indicating voltage, cycles / Hz, amperage

(amps) and electrical power needed to run the

appliance or tool.

Check with your nearest dealer or service center

with questions regarding power surge of certain

appliances or power tools.

■■Electrical loads such as incandescent lamps

and hot plates require the same wattage to

start as is needed to maintain use.

■■Loads such as fluorescent lamps require 1.2

to 2 times the indicated wattage during start-up.

■■Loads for mercury lamps require 2 to 3 times

the indicated wattage during start-up.

■■Electrical motors require a large starting

current. Power requirements depend on the

type of motor and its use. Once enough

"surge" is attained to start the motor, the

appliance will require only 50% to 30% of the

wattage to continue running.

■■Most electrical tools require 1.2 to 3 times

their wattage for running under load during

use. For example, a 5000 watt generator can

power a 1800 to 4000 watt electrical tool.

■■Loads such as submersible pumps and air

compressors require a very large force to

start. They need 3 to 5 times the normal

running wattage in order to start.

For example, a 5000 watt generator would

only be able to drive a 1000 to 1700 watt pump.

5. WATTAGE INFORMATION

RG4300iSenGU704510.6.84:35PMページ10

To determine the total wattage required to run a particular electrical appliance or tool, multiply the voltage

figure of the appliance/tool by the amperage (amps) figure of same. The voltage and amperage (amps)

information can be found on a name plate which is normally attached to electrical appliances and tools.

VOLTAGE DROP IN ELECTRIC EXTENSION CORDS

When a long electric extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a certain

amount of voltage drop or loss occurs in the extension cord which reduces the effective voltage available for

the appliance or tool.

The chart below has been prepared to illustrate the approximate voltage loss when an extension

cord of 100 meters

is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator.
