Using the generator in rain, snow or near water can lead to death from electric shock. Keep the
generator dry.
All of the 20 ampere 120 volt receptacles on the generator are protected by a GFCI (Ground-fault
circuit interrupter) for protection against the hazards of ground fault currents. An example of
ground-fault current is the current which would flow through a person who is using an appliance
with faulty insulation and, at the same time, is in contact with an electrical ground such as a
plumbing fixture, wet floor, or earth.
The ground-fault circuit interrupter will not protect against short circuits or overloads. The circuit
breaker in the control panel which supplies power to the circuit provides that protection.
The ground-fault circuit interrupter can be identified by the TEST and RESET buttons. The
receptacles on the GFCI can be tested with the TEST and RESET buttons.
TEST BUTTON: To test, depress the “TEST” button. (power is turned off)
Perform this test monthly or every 250 hours operation whichever comes first, in order to ensure
proper operation of the GFCI receptacle. If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the
weather, test the GFCI receptacle before each use. Record your test on the GFCI test card provided
on the control panel.

After the engine starts up, warm up it under unload for approx. five minutes.
Warming up after starting up is necessary for smooth operation of the engine. Do not operate the
engine at full load immediately after it starts up. This will shorten the equipment life.
During the warm-up operation, examine the different parts of the equipment for any looseness, leakage
of water, oil, fuel, and other irregularities.
Also, make sure that the alarm lamps are off.
Be sure to operate the generator at a rated frequency, irrespective of the load capacity.
If the machine is operated with a frequency lower than the rated frequency, it could cause the generator
or to be burned.

This machine is so designed for safety that operator may not touch the output terminal during
operation. If you open the output terminal cover during operation with three-phase breaker switched
“ON” , the three-phase breaker will be “OFF” to cut power supply to the output terminal.
When starting operation , make sure that the output terminal cover is closed.
Be sure to frequently check meters and indicators for proper operation, or any machine water, oil,
fuel leaks, etc.
The above table gives standard values. They may vary slightly depending on operating conditions
and other factors.
In single-phase load operation, check the current of L1, L2, and L3 phase with the ammeter, by
turning the ammeter change-over switch.
Each current should be balanced if unbalanced. Change
load connections so the current of L1, L2, and L3 is
equally balanced. Make sure that the current of each
phase does not exceed the rated one.
When the voltage selector switch is in the single-phase
240/120V position, place the ammeter change-over switch
to the L1 or L3 position to read the output.

Place a container or a pan underneath the oil port to receiver waste liquid so that such liquid cannot be
spilt out on the floor or inside the unit.
Be sure that no waste liquid is disposed of on the ground. Such waste on the ground, river or lake will
cause serious environmental contamination. Be sure to follow the local regulations. If harmful material
such as oil, antifreeze solution or filters are disposed of incorrectly, the responsible person should be
punished by the authority.
Observe local regulations when disposing of such toxic materials as oil, fuel, coolant (anti-freeze), filters,
and battery etc.

Be sure to stop the machine and loosen the radiator cap slowly,
after the coolant water is sufficiently cooled and the inner pressure
is released, then take the cap off.
If this procedure is neglected, the inner pressure can blow off the
cap. Steam jetting out of the radiator could result in causing
scalding. Follow the procedure under all circumstances.
H990432
Use soft water of good quality such as tap water for coolant.
When water with dirt, sand, and/or dust contained, or hard water such as well water (ground water) is
used, this will cause deposits inside radiator or on cylinder head, and will cause engine overheat due to
poor flow of coolant.
When the unit is used in a cold region and possible freezing is expected, it is recommended to use LLC
(Antifreeze) for the coolant.
Adjust mixing ratio of LLC with water according to the temperature.
Use LLC within the range of its mixing ratio between 35 and 60%.
If LLC in the water exceeds more than 60%, it may decrease its antifreezing effect.
Reference of LLC mixing ratio

Never operate the machine nor charge the batteries with the
battery liquid level being kept lower than the “LOWER” level.
Continuing operation at this lower level will cause deterioration
of such parts as pole plates etc., and also it may cause
explosion as well as reduction of battery life.
Add distilled water so that the liquid level may reach the middle
level between the “UPPER” and “LOWER” level without any
delay.
W010
Do not charge the frozen battery. Otherwise it may explode. If
the battery is frozen, warm it up until the battery temperature
becomes 16°C to 30°C.
Battery electrolyte is dilute sulfuric acid.
In case of mishandling, it could cause skin burning.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses when handling a
battery.
When such battery electrolyte contacts your clothes or skin,
wash it away with large amount of water immediately.
If the battery electrolyte gets into your eyes, wash it away
immediately with plenty of water and see a doctor at once,
because it is feared that eyesight might be lost. TR0093
Never reverse the cable connections. − When a booster-cable is unavoidably used or when a set of
cables is connected after a battery change, be sure to correctly connect the electric terminals (+) and (–).
Reversely-connected cables will cause sparks or damage to components.
