Fuel Check

DANGER

Fuel spillage on a hot engine can cause a fire or explosion. If fuel spillage occurs, wipe up the spilled fuel completely to prevent fire hazards. NEVER smoke around or near the generator.

Refilling the Fuel System

CAUTION

ONLY properly trained personnel who have read and understood this section should refill the fuel tank system.

This generator has a fuel tank located in the sub base assembly frame. ALWAYS fill the fuel tank with clean fresh #2 diesel fuel. DO NOT fill the fuel tank beyond its capacity.

Pay attention to the fuel tank capacity when replenishing fuel. The fuel tank cap must be closed tightly after filling. Handle fuel in a safe container. If the container does not have a spout, use a funnel. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.

Refueling Procedure:

WARNING

Diesel fuel and its vapors are dangerous to your health and the surrounding environment. Avoid skin contact and/or inhaling fumes.

CAUTION

ALWAYS make sure generator is on firm level ground before refueling to prevent spilling and maximize the amount of fuel that can be pumped into the tank.
