WARNING:
THIS GENERATOR IS DESIGNED TO GIVE SAFE AND DEPENDABLE SERVICE WHEN
OPERATED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE TECHNICAL MANUALS PROVIDED
WITH THE GENERATOR.
WARNING:
DO NOT OPERATE THE GENERATOR BEFORE YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE
INSTRUCTIONS AND THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER'S MANUAL. FAILURE TO DO SO
COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
1-3 Placards
Placards, shown in Figure 1-1 through Figure 1-8 are attached to the portable generator to warn
operating and maintenance personnel of potential hazards, to provide maintenance information,
and to provide generator ratings and capabilities. The large label below is located on the front
panel of the portable generator. The label presents operational Warnings and Cautions for
generator users.

1-4 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: IN ORDER TO ASSURE SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION OF THE GENERATOR,
OPERATOR'S SHOULD READ AND COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
• Do not operate the generator near gasoline or gaseous fuels because of the potential danger from
explosion or fire. Do not fill the fuel tank with fuel while the engine is running. Do not smoke or use open flame
near the fuel tank. Be careful not to spill fuel during refueling. If fuel is spilled, wipe it off and let it dry before
starting the engine.
• Do not place flammable materials near the generator. Be careful not to place fuel, matches, gunpowder, oily
cloths, straw, trash, or any other combustibles near the generator.
• Do not operate the generator inside a room, cave, tunnel, or other insufficiently ventilated area. Always
operate the generator in a well-ventilated area. The engine may become overheated, and the poisonous carbon
monoxide gas contained in the exhaust gases will endanger human lives.
• Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from any structure or building during use. When a
generator is located close to a building or nearby equipment, heat and exhaust from the engine will cause the
surrounding temperature to rise. This will degrade the engines cooling efficiency, causing overheating.
• Do not enclose the generator nor cover it with a box. The generator has a built-in, forced-air cooling system,
and may become overheated if it is enclosed.
• Operate the generator on a level surface. It is not necessary to prepare a special foundation for the generator.
However, the generator will vibrate on an irregular surface. Therefore, choose a level place without surface
irregularities.
• Shutoff the generator when moving the generator to another work site. It the generator is tilted or moved
during operation, fuel may spill and/or the generator may tip over, causing a hazardous situation. Proper
lubrication cannot be expected if the generator is operated on a steep incline or slope. In such a case, the piston
may seize; it may seize even if the oil is above the upper level.
• Do not operate in rain or with wet hands. The operator may suffer severe electric shock, if the generator is wet
due to rain or snow. If wet, dry before starting. Do not pour water directly over the generator, nor wash it with water.
• Do not connect the generator to a commercial power line. Connection to a commercial power line may result
in short circuit and damage the generator. When connecting to domestic circuits, install only approved transfer
switches and make sure power and control circuitry meet local electrical code requirements.
• Do not smoke or use other smoking materials (pipes, cigars, etc.) while handling the battery. The battery
emits flammable hydrogen gas, which can explode if exposed to electrical arcing or open flame. Keep the work
area well ventilated and keep the battery away from open flames/sparks.
