CAUTION : EYE/SKIN INJURY
Wear rubber gloves and other protective wear to protect eyes, skin and clothing from the battery
fluid which contains diluted sulfuric acid. If the battery fluid contacts eyes or skin, wash out
immediately with a sufficient amount of clean water. Be sure to receive medical treatment,
especially if the fluid contacts the eyes.
CAUTION : EXPLOSION
Never use or recharge the battery if the fluid level is below the minimum level.
Do not create sparks or bring flame near the battery as it generates flammable gas.
CAUTION : FIRE
Do not bring flammable items (such as fuel, gas and paint) or items that are highly combustible
near the generator as the muffler, exhaust gas and other parts become extremely hot.
Keep this generator 1m or more from walls or other hindrances, and on a level surface.
Do not connect the generator output to indoor wiring.
This generator uses diesel fuel. Always be sure to stop the engine and not bring flames close
when inspecting fuel or refueling. Wait until the engine has cooled before performing such
procedures.

CAUTION : BURNS
Do not touch the engine and surrounding components immediately after stopping the equipment,
while temperature can reach extremely high.
Do not open the radiator cap immediately after stopping the engine, to avoid sustaining burns
from hot vapor.
Hot steam gushes out from the coolant sub-tank if the generator overheats. Do not touch the
coolant sub-tank.
Always be sure to stop the engine and allow the engine to cool when performing inspection or
maintenance of engine oil. Opening the oil level indicator or oil filler cap during operation will result
in hot oil cause personal injury.
