SAFETY
Important Safety Instructions
To reduce the risk of injury, read this operator’s
manual completely before using.
When using this product, the following basic
precautions should always be followed.
• Do not enclose the generator or cover it. The generator may
become overheated if it is enclosed. If generator has been covered
to protect if from the weather during non use, be sure to remove
it and keep it well away from the area during generator use.
• 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, so choose a level
place. If 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, piston
seizure may occur even if the oil is above the upper level.
• Pay attention to the wiring or extension cords from the generator
to the connected device. If the wire is under the generator or in
contact with vibrating part, it may break and possibly cause a fire,
generator burnout, or electric shock hazard. Replace damaged or
worn cords immediately.
• Do not operate in rain, in wet or damp conditions, or with wet
hands. The operator may suffer severe electric shock if the
generator is wet due to rain or snow. If wet, wipe and dry it well
before starting. Do not pour water directly over the generator,
nor wash it with water.
• Be extremely careful that all necessary electrical grounding
procedures are followed during each and every use. Failure to do
so can be fatal.
• DO NOT smoke while charging a battery. The battery emits
flammable hydrogen gas, which can explode if exposed to
electric arcing or open flame. Keep the area well ventilatedand
keep open flames / sparks away when charging a battery.
• The engine becomes extremely hot during and for some timeafter
operation. Keep combustible materials well away from generator
area. Be very careful not to touch any parts of the hot engine
especially the muffler area or serious burns may result.
