Fire and Burn Hazards
l
The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials.
-Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from buildings
and other equipment during operation.
- Do not enclose the generator in any structure.
- Keep flammable materials away from the generator.
l
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for
a while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler
while it is hot. Let the engine cool before storing the generator
indoors.
l
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain
conditions. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks where the
generator is refueled or where gasoline is stored. Refuel in a well-
ventilated area with the engine stopped.
l
Fuel vapors are extremely flammable and may ignite after the
engine has started. Make sure that any spilled fuel has been wiped
up before starting the generator.
