1.Safety Safety outfit When handling machine, do not wear; loose clothes clothes with unbuttoned sleeves hanging tie or scarf dangling jewelry Such outfit could be caught in the machine or dragged in the rotating portion of the machine, and could cause a serious injury. TR0084 Maintain both physical and mental health Do not operate the machine when you are tired or drunk or under the influence of drugs.
1.Safety 1.2 Caution during Operation Never touch the output terminals and interior of control board Never touch the output terminals during operation. Notice that the voltage of several hundreds volt is applied to the output terminal. When removing or connecting a connecting cable for changing load, be sure to switch OFF the circuit breaker, remove the starter key from the starter switch, then carry out a work.

1.Safety Do not touch hot parts Never work nearby hot portions of the machine while it is running. Do not touch hot portions of the machine while inspecting the machine when running. Such parts as engine, exhaust manifold, exhaust pipe, muffler, and radiator are especially hot, so never touch those parts, because it could cause scalding.
1.Safety Cautions during Inspection and Maintenance Hang a “Now Checking and under Maintenance” tag Before starting inspection, switch off the circuit breaker of this machine, remove the starter key from the starter switch, and then hang a “Now Checking and under Maintenance” tag where it can be easily seen.

1.Safety Taking off the radiator cap Be sure to stop the machine first and then loosen the radiator cap slowly, after the coolant water is sufficiently cooled and the inner pressure is released. If this procedure is neglected, its inner pressure can blow off the cap,and steam jetting out of the radiator could result in causing scalding.
1.Safety 1.4 Safety Warning Labels Following labels are attached to the machine. Keep them clean at all times. If they are damaged or missing, immediately place an order with your nearest dealer for replacement. Part numbers are indicated on the lower right corner of the label. Adhere a new one to the original location.

3. Installation Transporting Unit Transportation Use the lifting bail 1 at the center of bonnet for hoisting up and down the machine. Since the rope hook is not strong enough to be used for hoisting, never use it to prevent falling accident. When transporting the machine, be sure to put it on the truck bed and use the rope hooks to secure it with rope Do not hoist up the machine while it is running.
3. Installation Place and Conditions of Unit Installation WARNING ----------i Ventilation • Exhaust gas from the engine is poisonous, and it could cause casualties when it is inhaled. Avoid using the machine in an insufficiently ventilated building or a tunnel. PC002 WARNING Installation...
3. Installation Selecting Cable Select a cable with sufficient diameter by considering the permissible current on the cable and the distance from the generator to the load. If the current flowing to the load exceeds the permissible current of the cable, resultant overheating may burn the cable.
3. Installation 3.4 Connecting Load WARNING Electric shock and electric leak I-----; • Make sure not to connect the output terminal of the machine with the commercial power source from electric power company. It may cause an electric shock, machine troubles and even a fire.
Page 24
3. Installation • Install a switch between the output terminal and the Switch panel for load to switch on/off the load. Do not switch the load switching on/off load on/off directly by the circuit·breaker of the generator. It could cause damage to the circuit-breaker. •...
