WARNING To prevent electrical shock the following instruction must be followed. Before the generator can be connected to a building’s electrical system, a licensed electrician must install an isolation (transfer) switch in the building’s main fuse box. The switch is the connection point for generator power and allows selection of generator or main line power to the building.
FOREWORD You are now the proud owner of a KUBOTA Diesel Engine Generator. This gen- erator is a product of KUBOTA quality engineering and manufacturing. It is made of fine materials and under a rigid quality control system with correct maintenance.

SAFE OPERATION SAFE OPERATION Careful operation is your best insurance against an accident. Read and understand this operator’s manual carefully before operating the generator. All operators, no matter how much experience they may have had, should read this manual and all labels on the generator before operating the generator.
Page 8
SAFE OPERATION CHECK BEFORE OPERATION & STARTING THE ENGINE A Always turn off the circuit breaker and all switches for the electrical devices before starting the generator. A Check the wiring and connections of the electrical devices before starting the generator. A Be sure to check the engine before operation.
Page 9
SAFE OPERATION KEEP THE AREA AROUND THE ENGINE CLEAN A Be sure to stop the engine before cleaning. A Keep the engine clean and free of accumulated dirt, grease and trash to avoid a fire. Store flammable fluids away from sparks and fire. A DO NOT stop the engine without idling.
Page 10
SAFE OPERATION EXHAUST GASES & FIRE PREVENTION A Engine exhaust fumes can be very harmful if allowing them to accumulate. Be sure to run the engine in a well ventilated place and where there are no people or livestock near the generator. A DO NOT operate the generator in a closed area such as inside houses, warehouses, tunnels, wells, ship holds, tanks, etc.
Page 11
SAFE OPERATION ESCAPING FLUID A Relieve all pressure in the oil and the cooling systems before any lines, fittings or related items are removed or disconnected. A Be alert for possible pressure when disconnecting any device from a system that utilizes pressure. DO NOT check for pressure leaks with your hand.
Page 12
SAFE OPERATION CAUTIONS AGAINST BURNS & BATTERY EXPLOSION A To avoid burns, be alert for hot components, e.g. muffler, muffler cover, radiator, pipes, hoses, engine body, coolant, engine oil, etc. during operation and just after the engine has been shut off. A DO NOT remove the radiator cap while the engine is running or immediately after stopping.
Page 13
SAFE OPERATION CONDUCTING SAFETY CHECKS & MAINTENANCE A Know how to stop the generator quickly, and understand operation of all the controls. DO NOT permit anyone to operate the generator without proper instruction. A When checking engine or servicing, place the generator in an open area and level ground.

2. Clean danger, warning and caution labels with soap and water, dry with a soft cloth. 3. Replace damaged or missing danger, warning and caution labels with new labels from your local KUBOTA Dealer. 4. If a component with danger, warning and caution label(s) affixed is replaced with new part, make sure new label(s) is (are) attached in the same location(s) as the replaced component.
However, when in need of parts or major service, be sure to see your KUBOTA Dealer. For service, contact the KUBOTA Dealership from which you purchased your generator or your local KUBOTA Dealer.
