WARNING:
The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
NOTICE
FEDERAL EMISSION COMPONENT DEFECT WARRANTY and CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY are applicable to only those engines/ generators complied with EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and CARB (California Air Resources Board) emission regulations in the U.S.A.
NOTICE
To the engines/generators exported to and used in the countries other than the U.S.A., warranty service shall be performed by the distributor in each country in accordance with the standard engine/generator warranty policy as applicable.
AIR INDEX
To show compliance with California emission regulations, a hangtag has been provided displaying the Air Index level and durability period of this engine.
The Air Index level defines how clean an engine’s exhaust is over a period of time. A bar graph scaled from “0” (most clean) to “10” (least clean) is used to show an engine’s Air Index level. A lower Air Index level represents cleaner exhaust from an engine.
The period of time (in hours) that the Air Index level is measured is known as the durability period. Depending on the size of the engine, a selection of time periods can be used to measure the Air Index level (see below).

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not operate the generator near gasoline or gaseous fuel because of the potential danger of explosion or fire.
Do not fill the fuel tank with fuel while the engine is running. Do not smoke or use open flame near the fuel tank. Be careful not to spill fuel during refueling. If fuel is spilt, wipe it off and let dry before starting the engine.
Do not place in flammables near the generator.
Be careful not to place fuel, matches, gunpowder, oily cloths, straw, trash, or any other in flammables near the generator.
Do not operate the generator inside a room, cave, tunnel, or other insufficiently ventilated area. Always operate it in a well-ventilated area, otherwise the engine may become overheated, and the poisonous carbon monoxide gas contained in the exhaust gases will endanger human lives. Keep the,generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from any structure or building during use.
If the generator must be used indoors, the area must be well-ventilated and extreme caution must be taken regarding the discharge of exhaust gases.
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. If generator has been covered to protect it 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 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.
1
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 a 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 contact the generator to a commercial power line. Connection to a commercial power line may short circuit the generator and ruin it or cause electric shock hazard. Use the transfer switch for connecting to domestic circuit.
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.
Engine becomes extremely hot during and for some time after 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.
Keep children and all bystanders at a safe distance from work areas.
2
It is absolutely essential that you know the safe and proper use of the power tool or appliance that you intend to use. All operators must read, understand and follow the tool/appliance owners manual. Tool and appliance applications and limitations must be understood. Follow all directions given on labels and warnings. Keep all instruction manuals and literature in a safe place for future reference.
Use only "LISTED" extension cords.
When a tool or appliance is used outdoors, use only extension cords marked "For Outdoor Use". Extension cords, when not in use should be stored in a dry and well ventilated area.
Always switch off generator's no-fuse breaker and disconnect tools or appliances when not in use, before servicing, adjusting, or installing accessories and attachments.
