Fuel Tank

As is common with all plastic fuel containers, the removable fuel tank supplied with this generator may swell or expand due to build-up of fuel vapors when the vent knob is closed.This tank is designed and has been tested to safely withstand pressure-buildup.The 'ballooning' condition is relieved by turning the vent knob fully counterclockwise or loosening and retightening the fuel cap/gauge.When installing the tank on your generator, relieve tank pressure before tightening the four large plastic wing nuts.

WARNING

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

AVOID SPILLING FUEL WHILE REMOVING FUEL TANK

•Turn generator OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing fuel tank. Loosen fuel gauge slowly or open vent knob to relieve pressure in tank.

•Tighten fuel gauge and close vent knob.

•Turn fuel shut off valve to the “Off” position.

•Disconnect the quick connect on the fuel line.

•Remove the four plastic fuel tank wing nuts.
