To ensure your safety and the long life of the equipment, please pay
particular attention when reading this manual to the sections
preceded by the following headings:
Warning against risk of severe personal injury or death if
instructions are not followed.
CAUTION:
• Warning against risk of personal injury or damage to equipment if
instructions are not followed.
NOTE: Source of helpful information.
This symbol warns you to be especially careful
when performing specific operations. See the safety
instructions on the following pages with reference to
the point or points indicated in the box.
SAFETY
1.
It is vital to know how to stop the generator quickly and to know how to use all the
controls. Never allow anyone not familiar with the instructions to use the generator.
2.
Do not allow children under fourteen years of age or animals to approach the
generator when it is in operation.
3.
Before starting the generator, always carry out pre-operational checks in order to
avoid accidents or damage to the equipment.
4.
Site the generator at least 1 metre from buildings or other equipment when it is in
use.
5. Do not run the engine in a confined area; the exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide, which is a lethal, odourless gas.
When the generator is installed in a ventilated room, additional requirements for
fire and explosion protection shall be observed.
6.
The generator should be used on a horizontal surface. Petrol spillage might result
if the generator is not level.
7. Petrol is a highly flammable substance which can explode under certain conditions.
Store fuel in containers specially designed for this purpose. Do not keep petrol, or
the machine when it contains petrol, in a dangerous place. Do not smoke when
handling fuel, and do not allow naked flames near the generator. Fill up with fuel in
a well ventilated area. Never open the fuel tank when the engine is running or still
hot. If petrol has been spilt, move the machine and wait for the petrol to evaporate
and for all vapour to dissipate before starting the engine. After using the generator,
close the fuel shut-off valve. Avoid any repeated or prolonged contact of petrol with
the skin as well as any inhalation of petrol vapour. Engine oil and petrol are toxic
and flammable. Pay attention not to spill. Do not pour the water on the generator
to put out the fire when it occurs. Use an appropriate fire extinguisher especially
designed for electric fire or oil fire. Follow the instructions provided by each fire
extinguisher manufacturer before use. This generator is not compliant with
explosion proof.
8.
Do not touch rotating parts, the spark plug lead or the muffler when the generator
is in operation.
Some parts of the internal combustion engine are hot and may cause burns. Pay
attention to the warnings on the generator.
9. A generator can cause electrocution when not used correctly; do not handle it with
wet hands.
Do not get the generator wet or use it in the rain or snow.
10. In cases where stand-by connection to existing electrical systems is intended, it
shall only be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all laws and
regulations in force in your country (*) for electrical installations. Improper
connections to a building's electrical system can allow current from the generator
to backfeed into the utility lines. Such backfeed may electrocute utility company
workers or others who contact the lines during a power outage, and the generator
may explode, burn, or cause fires when utility power is restored. Consult the utility
company or a qualified electrician prior to making any power connections.
11.
Electrical equipment (including lines and plug connections) should not be
defective.
12. Instructions for use relating to the safety of persons are given in the chapter entitled
"GENERATING SET USE" in this manual. It is essential to refer to those
instructions.
13. If you work nearby an operating generator, we strongly recommend to wear some
ear protectors.
14. Using any attachments other than those recommended in this manual may cause
damage to your generator, and such damage will not be covered by your
guarantee.
(*) Please contact our official distributor who will inform you about the applicable
guidelines.

These decals are considered as a part of the generator. Should one
become detached or unreadable, contact your Honda dealer for its
replacement.
