INSPECTION/SETUP
Refueling Procedure:
WARNING
Diesel fuel and its vapors are dangerous to your health and the surrounding environment. Avoid skin contact and/or inhaling fumes.
1.Level Tanks — Make sure fuel cells are level with the ground. Failure to do so will cause fuel to spill from the tank before reaching full capacity (Figure 29).
CAUTION
ALWAYS place trailer on firm level ground before refueling to prevent spilling and maximize the amount of fuel that can be pumped into the tank.
Figure 29. Only Fill on Level Ground
NOTICE
ONLY use #2 diesel fuel when refueling.
2.Open cabinet doors on the “right side” of the generator (from generator control panel position). Remove fuel cap and fi ll tank (Figure 30).

3.NEVER overfill fuel tank — It is important to read the fuel gauge when fi lling trailer fuel tank. DO NOT wait for fuel to rise in fi ller neck (Figure 31).
