FIRE AND EXPLOSION PRECAUTIONS
1.Gasoline fuel and fumes are flammable, and potentially explosive. Use proper fuel storage and handling procedures. Always have multiple ABC class fire extin- guishers nearby.
2.Keep the Generator, its Engine, and surrounding areas clean at all times.
3.When spills of fuel or oil occur, they must be cleaned up immediately. Dis- pose of fluids and cleaning materials as per any local, state, or federal codes and regulations. Store oil rags in a covered metal container.
4.Never store fuel or other flammable materials near the Generator.
5.Do not smoke, or allow sparks, flames, or other sources of ignition around the Generator.
6.Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live electrical parts and connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These events could ignite fumes or vapors.
7.Do not refill the Fuel Tank while the Engine is running or while the Engine is still hot. Do not operate the Generator with known leaks in the fuel system.
8.Use only Engine manufacturer recommended fuel and oil.
9.Operation of this equipment may create sparks that can start fires around dry vegetation. A spark arrestor may be required. The operator should contact local fire agencies for laws or regulations relating to fire prevention requirements.
MECHANICAL PRECAUTIONS
1.Prior to performing service, maintenance, or cleaning procedures, always make sure the Engine’s Ignition (2) is in its “OFF” position. Allow the Engine and Generator to completely cool. Then, remove the spark plug from the Engine.
2.Do not alter or adjust any part of the Generator or Engine that is assembled and supplied by the manufacturer.
3.Always follow and complete scheduled Generator and Engine maintenance.
CHEMICAL PRECAUTIONS
1.Avoid contact with hot fuel, oil, exhaust fumes, and solid surfaces.
2.Avoid body contact with fuels, oils, and lubricants used in the Generator and Engine. If swallowed, seek medical treatment immediately. Do not induce vomiting if fuel is swallowed. For skin contact, immediately wash with soap and water. For eye contact, immediately flush eyes with clean water.
