Safety Instructions

WARNING : SUFFOCATION FROM EXHAUST FUME
 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 pedestrians or buildings.
WARNING : ELECTRIC SHOCK
 Do not operate the equipment with any doors or covers open.
 Before connecting or disconnecting the load cables to from the output terminal, always turn the
output circuit breakers to the OFF position, stop the engine, and remove the engine key.
 Close the output terminal cover before operating.
 Do not insert a pin, wire or other metal object into the electrical outlet.
 Do not touch the generator if the Alternator or casing becomes wet during operation.
 Do not touch output terminals or internal electric parts while the generator is operating.
 Ground the every earth grounding terminal to the earth as set out in the manual.
 If even one of all is unconnected by mistake or accident, it will be much more dangerous for
human body than the NO-RELAY case, because leaking current inevitably goes through the
body.
 Even though all the earth terminals of the loads have been grounded to the earth, the bonnet
grounding terminal should be grounded to the earth.
 There is always a danger of being electrocuted by short-circuit. Be sure to test generator's
insulation resistance periodically.
 Grounding should be made after the engine is stopped.
 Whenever the Earth leakage relay is activated, you should always repair the leaking place first of
all.
WARNING : INJURY
 Close all doors and lock them during operation.
 Close all doors and place locks during operating this equipment, to avoid injuries by
unintentionally touching cooling fan and fan belt.
 Before performing any equipment check or maintenance, stop the engine, and remove the
engine key. A person performing the maintenance should always keep the key.
 Use the lifting hook to lift the machines, and do not lift up the unit using tie-downs. Use of such
could result in the generator falling.
 Do not lift any additional weight such as fuel tanks or trailers.
 No persons should be under a lifted generator.
 Before turning the circuit breaker to ON position, ensure that the breaker or the switch of loads
are positioned to OFF.
Operate the circuit breaker, well-communicating with the electrician by the load side.
