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.

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).

Descriptive Term Applicable to Emissions Durability Period

Moderate - 50 hours (engine from 0 to 80 cc)

125 hours (engine greater than 80 cc)

Intermediate - 125 hours (engine from 0 to 80 cc)

250 hours (engine greater than 80 cc)

Extended - 300 hours (engine from 0 to 80 cc)

500 hours (engine greater than 80 cc)

Notice : This hangtag must remain on this engine or piece of equipment, and only be removed by the ultimate purchaser before operation.

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Please make sure you review each precaution carefully.

Pay special attention to statement preceded by the following words.

WARNING

“WARNING” indicates a strong possibility of severe personal injury or loss of life if instructions are not followed.

CAUTION

“CAUTION” indicates a possibility of personal injury or equipment damage if instructions are not followed.

WARNING

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.

WARNING

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.

WARNING

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.

WARNING

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.

WARNING

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.

WARNING

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.
