11. For trailer installation, the Generator should be mounted on the center point of the
trailer, over the wheels.
12. Install sound- and weatherproofing only while it is not raining or snowing to avoid
trapping moisture within the Generator’s enclosure.
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, oil occur, they must be cleaned up immediately. Dispose 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 Engine
and Fuel Tank. Fuel vapors are explosive.
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. 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 attempting to restart
the Generator.
9. Use only engine manufacturer recommended fuel and oil.
Mechanical Precautions:
1. ALWAYS turn off the Engine. Allow the Engine to completely cool, disconnect the
negative battery cable from the battery, and remove the key from the Ignition Switch
(45) before carrying out maintenance.
