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.
 Always make sure that the Power Switch is OFF position when working on piping.
 After working on the piping, check that there is no fuel leakage.
 Absolutely never inspect or perform maintenance to the equipment near fire or other open
flame.
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, to avoid sustaining burns
from hot vapor.
 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 level 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 gears 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.
 Check that the surrounding area is safe, before setting to Auto Mode.
 Be sure to communicate between operators mutually before attempting to set "Auto Mode" to
avoid mechanical trouble and incidents.
