WARNING : INJURY
 Do not open the check door when the starter switch is in the AUTO or START position.
It will cause injury by rotating parts such as cooling fans and fan belt.
 Always turn the starter switch to the STOP position and stop the engine, then close
and lock OPERATION PANEL DOOR before checking or maintaining the engine or
any equipment.
CAUTION : BURNS
 Do not touch the engine and surrounding components immediately after stopping the
engine as they are still extremely hot.
CAUTION : FIRE
 If fuel or oil is leaking, repair the leaking location before operating.
The bed of this generator is equipped with the spill containment (structure for preventing
leakage of liquid) so that any spilled liquid will not leak to outside of the generator when oil or
fuel is spilled or leak. Before starting operation, check if there is accumulated liquid in the spill
containment. Flush out any liquid that has accumulated.
(Refer to section "8-6. Checking the Spill Containment" for inspection procedures. )
(Refer to section "10. Inspection/Maintenance (14) Flushing Liquid in Spill Containment"
for flushing procedures.)
The generator is equipped with the following in order to prevent liquid from spilling in case you
forget to flush the liquid: The operation panel is equipped with the SPILL CONTAINMENT
CHECKING indicator that illuminates when its sensor is triggered as the spill containment
capacity accumulated enough liquid to reach to about 25gal. (96 liters).
If the liquid stored in the spill containment exceeds approximately about 41gal. (155 liters)
during operation, the SPILL CONTAINMENT OVERFLOW WARNING indicator illuminates, and
the engine will be automatically stopped. If this occurs, flush the liquid stored in the spill
containment.
(Refer to section "10. Inspection/Maintenance (14) Flushing Liquid in Spill Containment".)
< Note >
 Water can also accumulate in the spill containment due to rain entering into the generator.
Accordingly, you should periodically flush liquid accumulated within the generator. However,
you should flush water according to the frequency/amount of rainfall.
 The types of liquids that can accumulate in the spill containment include oil, fuel, coolant,
battery fluid and DEF such that it is not possible to distinguish between rainwater and other
liquids. Dispose of flushed liquids according to the applicable laws and regulations.
