9-1. Initial Startup/Pre-Check

WARNING : EXHAUST GAS POISONING
 Do not operate the generator in poorly ventilated areas such as indoors or tunnels, as
the exhaust gas of the engine contains substances that are harmful to human health.
 Do not direct exhaust fumes at bystanders or buildings.
WARNING : INJURY
 Always be sure to check that the breakers on load side and switches for any
equipment using the generator are at OFF before turning the breaker to ON. Also be
sure to advise personnel on the load side that power will be turned on before
operating the breaker.
 Close all doors and lock them during operation.
CAUTION : FIRE
 Do not carry flammable items (such as fuel, gas and paint) or items that are highly
combustible near the generator 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
level surface.
CAUTION : INJURY
 Do not operate the generator if it has been modified or any parts have been removed.
 Position the generator on a level stable surface so that it cannot slide or move in any
manner.
 Before starting operation, always be sure to turn off all switches of equipment being
used and all breakers to OFF.
< Note >
 Check that the surrounding area is safe before starting the engine.
 When there are multiple workers who are working together, they must mutually signal each
other before starting the engine.
 Do not use in an area with high temperature or humidity, or an area with a large amount of
dust.
 Do not open any doors during operation. Operating with door open can negatively affect
cooling effect, resulting in an equipment malfunction.
 Use ear protection if the level of noise is high. Failure to do so could result in hearing damage.
 Please be careful about a strong wind and the opening and shutting of the door. If a door is
opened suddenly and is closed, and a finger might be sandwiched.
