CAUTION : EXPLOSION
 Never use or recharge the battery if the fluid level is below the minimum level.
 Do not create sparks or bring flame near the battery as it generates flammable gas.
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 1 m or more from walls or other hindrances, and on a level surface.
 Do not connect the generator output to indoor wiring.
 This generator uses diesel fuel. Always be sure to stop the engine and not bring flames
close when inspecting fuel or refueling. Wait until the engine has cooled before performing
such procedures.
 Do not use this equipment when leak is found, and repair the leaking location before
operating.
 Always be sure to wipe up any spilled fuel or oil.
 Allow the generator to cool before covering with the protective cover.
 Never allow flame to come close to the generator.
CAUTION : ELECTRIC SHOCK
 Do not sprinkle water on the equipment and do not use where exposed to rain.
CAUTION : BURNS
 Do not touch the engine and surrounding components immediately after stopping the engine
as they are still extremely hot.
 Do not open the radiator cap 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 not touch the
coolant sub-tank.
 Always be sure to stop the engine and allow the engine to cool when performing inspection
or maintenance of engine oil. Opening the oil gauge or oil filler cap during operation will
result in hot oil gushing out.
CAUTION : INJURY
 Always be sure to use lifting hooks when lifting up the generator, and slowly lift it straight up.
 Personnel performing lifting work must wear protective gear such as helmets, safety shoes
and gloves.
 Remove the wood ties if using anchors to secure the generator.
 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 using the
generator and all breakers to "OFF".
 Do not move the generator during operation.
 Do not operate the generator if it has been modified or any parts have been removed.
 Securely fix the equipment with rope or similar item so that it cannot move when transporting
by truck or other vehicle.
