5. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Use extreme caution near fuel. A constant danger of explosion or fire exists.
r-
Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is running. Do not smoke or use open flame near the
.-
fuel tank. Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. If spilt, wipe it and let dry before starting
the engine.
2. Do not place inflammable materials near the generator.
Be careful not to put fuel, matches, gunpowder, oily cloth, straw, and any other inflammables
near the generator.
3. Do not operate the generator in a room, cave or tunnel. Always operate in a well-venti-
lated area.
Otherwise the engine may overheat and also, the poisonous carbon monoxide contained in
the exhaust gases will endanger human lives. Keep the generator at least 1 m (4 feet) away
from structures or facilities during use.
4. Operate the generator on a level surface.
If the generator is tilted or moved during use, there is a danger of fuel spillage and a chance
that the generator may tip over.
5. Do not operate with wet hands or in the rain.
Severe electric shock may occur. If the generator is wet by rain or snow, wipe it and thor-
oughly dry it before starting.
.-
Don’t pour water over the generator directly nor wash it with water.
If the generator is wet with water, the insulation’s will be adversely affected and may cause
current leakage and electric shock.
6. Do not connect the generator to the commercial power lines.
This may cause a short-circuit or damage to the generator.
7. Be sure to check and remedy the cause of circuit breaker tripping before re-setting it
on.
CAUTION : If the circuit breaker tripped off as a result of using an electrical appliance,
the cause can be an overload or a short-circuit. In such a case, stop opera-
tion immediately and carefully check the electrical appliance and AC plugs
for faulty wiring.
