Do not operate the generator near gasoline or gaseous fuel because of the potential

it off and let dry before starting the engine.
DANGER
WARNING
WARNING
Operate the generator on a level surface.
It is not necessary to prepare a special foundation for the generator.
However, the generator will vibrate on an irregular surface, so choose a level place without surface
irregularities.
If the generator is tilted or moved during operation, fuel may spill and / or the generator may tip over, causing
a hazardous situation.
Proper lubrication cannot be expected if the generator is operated on a steep incline or slope. In such a case,
piston seizure may occur even if the oil is above the upper level.
WARNING
Pay attention to the wiring or extension cords from the generator to the connected 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.
WARNING
Do not operate the generator inside a room, cave, tunnel, or other
insufficiently ventilated area.
Always operate it in a well-ventilated area, otherwise the engine may
become overheated, and the poisonous carbon monoxide gas, an odorless,
colorless, poison gas, contained in the exhaust gas will endanger human lives.
Operate generator only outdoors and far from open windows, doors,
ventilation intakes and other openings.
Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away , including overhead, from
any structure or building use.
WARNING
Do not place in flammables near the generator.
Be careful not to place fuel, matches, gunpowder, oily cloths, straw, trash, or any other in flammables near
the generator.
WARNING
Do not enclose the generator nor cover it with a box.
The generator has a built-in forced air cooling system, and may become overheated if it is enclosed.
If generator has been covered to protect it from the weather during non use, be sure to remove it and keep
it well away from the area during generator use.
