Servicing
• Maintain labels and name plates on the generator and engine.
These carry important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact your Kawashima agent immediately for a replacement.
• Generator service must be performed only by qualified repair
personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a generator, use only genuine replacement parts.
Follow all appropriate instructions in this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may
create a risk of electric shock or injury.

ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO A

Installation
• Ensure installation meets all applicable safety, and local and
national electrical codes. Have installation performed by a
qualified, licensed electrician and building contractor.
• All electrical work, including the earth connection, should be
completed by a licensed electrician.
• Any separate fuel storage or generator supply facility must be built
or installed in full compliance with all relevant local, state, and
federal regulations.
• It is recommended to use the generator only in well ventilated outdoor
areas. A running gasoline engine will generate carbon monoxide, a
colourless, odourless gas that, if inhaled, can cause serious injury or
death. If the generator is installed indoors, exhaust fumes must be
piped out of the building using leak-free, heat resistant piping. Pipes
and silencer should not use any flammable materials, nor should they
be installed near the same. Generator exhaust fumes must be within
legal limits and installation must always meet local building codes.
• If the generator is installed outdoors, it must be weatherproofed and
should be soundproofed. It should not be run outdoors without
protection of the generator and wiring conduit.
• The supporting floor/ground surface should be level, and strong
enough to safely hold the weight of the generator.
