< Note >

This generator is manufactured presupposing that it will be installed on a flat, hard and leveled
surface. Accordingly, care must be taken as using under any other installation conditions can
result in a fault or malfunction.

Do not place any objects where they will interfere with the radiator or muffler exhaust ports.
Objects interfering with these ports will result in reduced engine output, overheating, and electrical
component fault/malfunction.

Operating the equipment in dusty or excessively salty location can result in a clogged radiator or
overheating resulting in malfunction/fault or reduced insulation of electrical components. Be sure
to thoroughly inspect and perform maintenance if using in such locations.
7. Load Connections
7-1. Load Cable Selection
CAUTION : PROPERTY DAMAGE

Cable burnout could occur due to generated heat if the load current exceeds
the allowable current of the cable.

The voltage drop between cables is large if the cable is excessively long or
thin, resulting in decreased input voltage to equipment using the generator,
thereby causing decreased performance, faulty operation and malfunction.
Select cable for use that has sufficient thickness and an allowable current for use, and
distance from the generator to the equipment using the generator.
< Note >

Select cable with thickness ensures that the voltage drop across the cable would be
within 5% of the rated voltage.
