WARNING

Explosive Fuel Hazards

 

 

 

 

Gasoline is extremely flammable, and its vapors can cause an explosion if ignited. DO NOT start the engine near spilled fuel or combustible fluids.

DO NOT fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or hot. DO NOT overfill tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine parts or sparks from the ignition system. Store fuel in approved containers, in well-ventilated areas and away from sparks and flames.

Fuel Check

1.Close the fuel cock before filling the fuel tank.

2.Remove the fuel cap located on top of fuel tank.

3.Readthefuelgaugelocatedontopofthefueltank(Figure 2) to determine if the fuel level is low. If fuel is low, replenish with clean unleaded fuel.

Figure 2. Fuel Gauge

4.When refueling, be sure to use a strainer for filtration. DO NOT top-off fuel. DO NOT fill the tank beyond capacity. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately!

Before Starting the Engine

1.Be sure to disconnect all electrical loads from the generator prior to starting the engine.

2.NEVER start the engine with the main circuit breaker in the ON position. Always place the main circuit breaker (Figure 3) in the OFF position before starting.
