8. Do not place inflammables near the generator.

Be careful not to place fuel, matches, gunpowder, oily cloths, straw, trash, or any other inflammables near the

generator.

9. 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.

10. 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 without surface irregularities. 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.

11. Pay attention to the wiring from the generator to the connected device.

If the wire is under the generator or in contact with a vibrating part, it may break and possibly cause a fire or

generator burnout.

12. 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, wipe and dry it well before starting.

Do not pour water directly over the generator, not wash it with water.

13. No smoking while handling the battery.

The battery emits flammable hydrogen gas, which can explode if exposed to electric arcing or open flame.

Keep the area well-ventilated and keep open flames/sparks away when handling the battery.

14. Do not operate the generator under the following condition: rainwater, seawater and salty breezes.

If the generator is used under the above condition, it may break and the operator may suffer severe electric

shock.
