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
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.
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.
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.
Always be sure to use lifting hooks when lifting up the generator. The other thing could result in
the generator falling.
This lifting hook is designed to lift only the generator. Do not lift any additional added weight such
as fuel tanks and/or trailers with this lifting hook.
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.
