ENGLISH 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. This will prevent the generator from charging the main power line (backfeeding) when the main power supply has failed or has been turned off for line repair. Backfeeding can electrocute or injure line maintenance personnel. Also, generator and building electrical system damage can occur when normal operating power returns if unit is used without an isolation switch. 3 WARNING WARNING IMPORTANT The engine in this machine is not equipped by the manufacture with a standard spark arrester. It is a violation of California Public Resource Code Section 4442 to use or operate this engine on or near any forest-covered, brush- covered land, or grass- covered land unless the exhaust system is equipped with a working spark arrester meeting state laws. Other states or federal areas may have similar laws. California Proposition 65 Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, certain vehicle components and fluids, contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ENGLISH SAFETY PRECAUTIONS A To operate the machine safely, be sure to follow the instructions below. DANGER To avoid personal injury: A Hazard of being caught up in the machine: Do not touch any rotating parts. A Do not use or charge the battery if its fluid level stands below the LOWER mark. Otherwise, the component parts may deteriorate earlier than expected, which may shorten the service life or cause an explosion. Immediately, add distilled water until the fluid level is between the UPPER and LOWER levels. (for only refillable battery) WARNING To avoid personal injury: A Exhaust gas poisoning hazard: Do not use the machine in any poorly-ventilated place such as indoors and tunnels. A Exhaust gas poisoning and fire hazard: Do not direct the exhaust to people and buildings. A Electric shock hazard: Do not touch the machine with wet hands. A Electric shock hazard: Do not touch the terminals and sockets while the machine is running. A Electric shock and injury hazard: Do not check and service the machine while it is running. A Electric shock and injury hazard: Do not tamper with the machine. A Fire hazard: Flames prohibited. Keep the machine more than 1 m(3 feet) away from flammable materials. A Electric shock hazard: Do not use the machine in the rain.

2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ENGLISH CAUTION To avoid personal injury: A Electric shock and fire hazard: Do not connect the machine to any indoor (commercial) power outlet. A Electric shock and injury hazard: Do not allow children to run the machine. A Electric shock and injury hazard: Turn off the circuit breaker before starting the machine. A Injury hazard: Do not touch the muffler. A Injury hazard: Do not run the machine tilted. A Injury hazard: Do not move the machine while it is running. A Fire hazard: Stop the engine before adding fuel. A Fire hazard: Do not enclose the machine, nor cover it with a box or the like. A Fire hazard: Pay attention to the type and amount of fuel. A Do not get the warning label dirty or peeled off. A Be sure to hand over the operation manual to any other operator. A Electric shock hazard: Ground the machine using the ground terminal on the control panel.

3 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ENGLISH CAUTION To avoid personal injury: A Anti-freeze contains poison. Wear rubber gloves to avoid personal injury. In case of contact with skin, wash it off immediately. A DO NOT mix different types of Anti-freeze. The mixture can produce chemical reaction causing harmful substances. Use approved Anti-freeze. A Be mindful of the environment and the ecology. Before draining any fluids, find out the correct way of disposing of them. Observe the relevant environmental protection regulations when disposing of oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters and batteries. A When draining fluids from the engine, place some container underneath the engine body. A DO NOT pour waste onto the grounds, down a drain, or into any water source.

4 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ENGLISH CAUTION To avoid personal injury: A When checking engine or servicing, place the engine on a wide and level ground. DO NOT work on anything that is supported ONLY by lift jacks or a hoist. Always use blocks or correct stands to support the engine before servicing. A Detach the battery from the engine before conducting service. Put a "DO NOT OPERATE!" tag in the key switch to avoid accidental starting. A To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit always disconnect the battery's ground cable (-) first and connect it last. A Be sure to stop the engine and remove the key when conducting daily and periodic maintenance, servicing and cleaning. A Check or conduct maintenance after the engine, coolant, muffler, or muffler cover have been cooled off completely. A Always use the appropriate tools and jig-fixture in good condition when performing any service work. Make sure you understand how to use them before service. A Use ONLY correct engine barring techniques for manually rotating the engine. DO NOT attempt to rotate the engine by pulling or prying on the cooling fan and V-belt. This practice can cause serious personal injury or premature machine damage to the cooling fan. A Replace fuel pipes and lubricant pipes with their hose clamps every 2 years or earlier whether they are damaged or not. They are made of rubber and are aged gradually. A When servicing is performed together by two or more persons, take care to perform all work safely. A Keep first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy at all times.
