Makita G2800R Portable Generator User Manual


 
2
Pay attention to the wiring or extension cords from the generator to the con-
nected device.
If the wire is under the generator or in contact with a vibrating part, it may
break and possibly cause a fire, generator burnout, or electric shock hazard.
Replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
Do not operate in rain, in wet or damp conditions, or with wet hands.
The operator may suffer severe electric shock if the generator is wet due to
rain or snow.
If wet, wipe and dry it well before starting. Do not pour water directly over the
generator, nor wash it with water.
Be extremely careful that all necessary electrical grounding procedures are
followed during each and every use. Failure to do so can be fatal.
Do not contact the generator to a commercial power line. Connection to a
commercial power line may short circuit the generator and ruin it or cause
electric shock hazard. Use the transfer switch for connecting to domestic cir-
cuit.
No smoking while handling the battery. The battery emits flammable hydrogen
gas, which can explode if exposed to electric arcing or open flame.
Keep the area well-ventilated and keep open flames/sparks away when han-
dling the battery.
Engine becomes extremely hot during and for some time after operation.
Keep combustible materials well away from generator area.
Be very careful not to touch any parts of the hot engine especially the muffler
area or serious burns may result.
Keep children and all bystanders at a safe distance from work areas.
