SAFETY INFORMATION
9 This generator is not designed for on-board use.
Do not use it while installed on the vehicle.
9 Do not modify the generator or use it with its parts
removed.
9 Do not allow children to operate the generator.
9 Be sure to carry the generator only by its carrying
handle(s).

Fuel is highly flammable and poisonous
9 Always turn off the engine when refuelling.
9 Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an
open flame.
9 Take care not to spill any fuel on the engine or
muffler when refuelling.
9 Do not leave the generator inside the vehicle or in
the trunk.
9 If you swallow any fuel, inhale fuel vapor, or allow
any to get in your eye(s), see your doctor immediately. If any fuel spills on your skin or clothing,
immediately wash with soap and water and
change your clothes.
9 When operating or transporting the generator, be
sure it is kept upright. If it tilts, fuel may leak from
the carburetor or fuel tank.
Engine and muffler may be hot
9 Place the generator in a place where pedestrians
or children are not likely to touch the generator.
741-002
Exhaust fumes are poisonous
9 Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN
MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon
monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or
smell.
9 NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF
doors and windows are open.
9 Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows,
doors, and vents.
– 3 –
741-007
9 Avoid placing any flammable materials near the
exhaust outlet during operation.
741-008a
9 In order to prevent overheating, ensure adequate
airflow by keeping the machine at least 1 m (3 ft)
from objects or other equipment.

9 Do not operate the engine with a dust cover or
other objects covering it.
9 When covering the generator, be sure to do so
only after the engine and muffler have completely
cooled down.
Electric shock prevention
9 Never operate the engine in rain or snow.
9 Never touch the generator with wet hands or elec-
trical shock will occur.
9 Connect the ground (earth) terminal to a ground
source. In order to prevent electrical shock, the
generator must be grounded when using a
grounded electrical device.

Connection notes
9 Avoid connecting the generator to commercial
power outlet.
9 Avoid connecting the generator in parallel with any
other generator.
1 Correct
2 Incorrect
Connection
WARNING
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.
Extension cord notes
Extension cords should be protected by a tough flexible rubber sheath (IEC 245) or the equivalent to withstand mechanical stresses.

LOCATION OF IMPORTANT LABELS
Please read the following labels carefully before operating this generator.

Oil warning light (Red)
When the oil level falls below the lower level, the oil
warning light comes on and then the engine stops
automatically. Unless you refill with oil, the engine will
not start again.
TIP
If the engine stalls or does not start, turn the engine
switch to “7” (ON) and then pull the recoil starter or
turn the engine switch to “6” (START). If the oil warning light comes on, the engine oil is insufficient. Add oil
and restart.

PREPARATION
Fuel
WARNING
9 Fuel is highly flammable and poisonous.
Check “SAFETY INFORMATION” (See page 2)
carefully before filling.
9 Do not overfill the fuel tank, otherwise it may
overflow when the fuel warms up and expands.
9 Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
9 After filling the tank with fuel, make sure the
fuel tank cap is tightened securely.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Place the generator on a level surface.
3. Remove the fuel tank cap.
4. Check the fuel level.
5. If low, fill the tank with fuel.
NOTICE
9 Immediately wipe off spilled fuel with a clean,
dry, soft cloth, since fuel may deteriorate paint-
ed surfaces or plastic parts.
9 Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of leaded
gasoline will cause severe damage to internal
engine parts.
Make sure there is sufficient fuel in the tank.
When refueling, do not fill the tank up above the top
edge of the fuel tank filter.
