1. Safety Guidelines
Warning: Suffocation from exhaust fumes
Exhaust fumes from the engine contain many elements harmful to humans. Do not
operate this equipment in poorly ventilated areas, such as inside a room or in a tunnel.
Warning: Electric Shock
Close all equipment doors during operation.
Do not touch the output terminals during operation.
Do not touch or operate the equipment, if the equipment or you are wet.
Do not insert metal objects (such as pin or wire) into plug-in receptacles.
Do not touch wiring or electric parts inside the equipment during operation.
Ground every grounding terminal to the earth as set out in the manual.
Even though all the terminals of the loads have been grounded to the earth, this
equipment grounding terminal should be grounded to the earth.
Before connecting or disconnecting a welding cable from output terminal, stop the
engine, and remove the starter key.
Before performing any equipment check or maintenance, stop the engine and remove
the starter key. The person performing the check or maintenance must always keep
the key.
Warning: Electromagnetic Interference
Persons using a heart pacemaker are not allowed near the Generator work area while
the Generator is in operation without the permission of a doctor. The welder generates
a magnetic field while energized that can negatively affect pacemaker operation.
This product may cause interference if used in residential areas.
Such use must be avoided unless the user takes special measures to reduce
electromagnetic emissions to prevent interference to the reception of radio and
television broadcasts.
Warning: Suffocation from welding fumes
Be sure to wear a fume proof mask during operation, as welding fumes contain
poisonous gases and dust. Pay attention to the airflow direction and ensure sufficient
ventilation in order to prevent inhalation of the fumes.

Battery fluid contains diluted sulphuric acid. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
If the acid comes in contact with eyes, flush with lots of water, and contact your
