FIRE AND EXPLOSION PRECAUTIONS

9.The supporting floor/ground surface should be level, and strong enough to safely hold the weight of the Generator. If the floor/ground surface is not level, strong cross members should be placed under the full length of the Generator Frame at its low side.

10.For trailer installation, the Generator should be mounted on the center point of the trailer, over the wheels. The trailer must be capable of supporting the weight of the Generator and all contents (tools, etc.)

11.Install sound- and weather-proofing only when it is not raining or snowing to avoid trapping moisture within the Generator’s area.

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 extinguishers nearby.

2.Keep the Generator and surrounding area clean at all times.

3.When spills of fuel or oil occur, they must be cleaned up immediately. Dispose of fluids and cleaning materials as per any local, state, or federal codes and regula- tions. 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 Engine and Fuel Tank. Fuel vapors are explosive.

6.Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live elec- trical 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.Excessive buildup of unburned fuel gases in the exhaust system can create a potentially explosive condition. This buildup can occur after repeated failed start attempts, valve testing, or hot engine shutdown. If this occurs, open exhaust system drain plugs, if equipped, and allow the gases to dissipate before attempt- ing to restart the Generator.

9.Use only engine manufacturer recommended fuel and oil.
