───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1．SAFETY INFORMATION
1）EXHAUST FUMES ARE POISONOUS
z Never operate the engine in a closed area because it may cause unconsciousness and death
within a short time. Operate the engine in a well ventilated area.
2）FUEL IS HIGHL Y FLAMMABLE AND POISONOUS
z Always turn off the engine when refueling
z Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an open flame.
z Take care not to spill any fuel on the engine or muffler when refueling.
z If you swallow any fuel, inhale fuel vapor, or allow any fuel to get in your eyes, see your doctor
immediately. If any fuel spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash with soap and water
and change your clothes.
z When operating or transporting the machine, be sure it is kept upright. If tilted, fuel may leak
from the carburetor or fuel tank.
3）ENGINE AND MUFFLER MA Y BE HOT
z Place the machine in a place where pedestrians or children are
not likely to touch the machine.

z Avoid operating the engine with a dust cover.
z Be sure to carry the generator only by its handle.
z Put the machine on a flat surface. This will allow the machine to distribute the heat evenly.
4）ELECTRIC SHOCK PREVENTION
z Never operate the engine in rain or snow.
z Never touch the machine with wet hands or electrical shock will
occur.
z Be sure to ground (earth) the generator.
The National Electric Code requires that the frame of generator
and the external electrically conductive parts of the generator be connected to an approved earth
ground. Local codes may differ and require other grounding specifications.
Using a No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire to the ground terminal and to
an earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod provides sufficient safety against shock. However,
local codes may differ. Contact a local electrician to find out specifications for grounding your
generator
5）CONNECTION NOTES
z Avoid connecting the generator to commercial power outlet.
z Avoid connecting the generator in parallel with any other generator.
