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.
1m
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.
1m
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.
2
WARNING
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.
WARNING
If wet, wipe and dry it well before starting. Do not pour water directly over the generator, nor wash it with
water.
WARNING
Be extremely careful that all necessary electrical grounding procedures are followed during each and every
use. Failure to do so can be fatal.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
Keep children and all bystanders at a safe distance from work areas.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
Always switch off generator's AC circuit breaker and disconnect tools or appliances when not in use, before
servicing, adjusting, or installing accessories and attachments.
CAUTION
Make sure the engine is stopped before starting any maintenance, servicing or repair.
NOTE :
Make sure maintenance and repair of the generator set are performed by properly trained personnel only.

6. WATTAGE INFORMATION
Some appliances need a "surge" of energy when starting.
This means that the amount of electrical power needed to start the appliance may exceed the amount needed to
maintain its use.
Electrical appliances and tools normally come with a label indicating voltage, cycles / Hz, amperage (amps)
and electrical power needed to run the appliance or tool.
Check with your nearest dealer or service center with questions regarding power surge of certain appliances
or power tools.
■
Electrical loads such as incandescent lamps and hot plates require the same wattage to start as is
needed to maintain use.
■
Loads such as fluorescent lamps require 1.2 to 2 times the indicated wattage during start-up.
■
Loads for mercury lamps require 2 to 3 times the indicated wattage during start-up.
■
Electrical motors require a large starting current. Power requirements depend on the type of motor and
its use. Once enough "surge" is attained to start the motor, the appliance will require only 50% to 30%
of the wattage to continue running.
■
Most electrical tools require 1.2 to 3 times their wattage for running under load during use. For example,
a 5000 watt generator can power a 1800 to 4000 watt electrical tool.
■
Loads such as submersible pumps and air compressors require a very large force to start. They need 3
to 5 times the normal running wattage in order to start.
For example, a 5000 watt generator would only be able to drive a 1000 to 1700 watt pump.
NOTE
The following wattage chart is general guide only. Refer to your specific appliance for
correct wattage.

VOLTAGE DROP IN ELECTRIC EXTENSION CORDS
When a long electric extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a certain amount of
voltage drop or loss occurs in the extension cord which reduces the effective voltage available for the appliance or tool.
The chart below has been prepared to illustrate the approximate voltage loss when an extension cord of 300 feet
(approx. 100 meters) is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator.
