Fuel Safety
Petrol is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Always
use caution when handling petrol.
Petrol is extremely flammable, and petrol vapor can explode. Before
refueling allow the engine to cool completely if the generator has
been in operation.
Always store petrol in an approved container.
Always refuel outdoors or in a well-ventilated area away from any
combustible materials.
Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near the area
where refueling is performed or where petrol is stored.
Never permit children to handle petrol.
Never refuel around bystanders, pets, and flammable objects.
Loosen the fuel cap slowly to relieve pressure in the tank.
Take care not to overfull or spill any fuel on the generator or muffler
when refueling.
If petrol spills on skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap
and water and change clothing.
Do not use the generator if you observe leaking petrol. Have the
generator serviced immediately and before using it again.
When operating or transporting the generator, be sure it is kept
upright. If it tilts, fuel may leak. Be sure the fuel tank cap is tightened
when transporting the generator.
Do not refuel using petrol station pumps.
Remove fuel from the generator before transporting in a vehicle.
Do not swallow petrol, inhale petrol vapors, or spill petrol. If you swallow
petrol, inhale more than a few breaths of petrol vapor, or splash petrol in
your eyes, see a physician immediately. If petrol spills on skin or clothing,
immediately wash it off with soap and water and change clothing.
