READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE GENERATOR.
RISK OF FIRE
Inadequate ventilation for generator
Use care in filling the tank to avoid
spilling fuel. Make sure fuel cap is
secured tightly and check engine
for fuel leaks before starting
engine. Move generator away
from refueling area or any spillage
before starting engine. Allow for
fuel expansion. Keep maximum
fuel level 1/2 inch below the tip of
the fuel tank. Never refuel with
the engine running.
Spilled fuel and its vapors can
become ignited from hot surfaces or
sparks.
HAZARD
HOW TO PREVENT ITWHAT COULD HAPPEN
Attempting to fill the fuel tank while
the engine is running.
Sparks, fire, hot objects
Improper storage of fuel
Tampering with factory set engine
speed settings.
Overfilling the fuel tank –
fuel spillage.
Gasoline and gasoline vapors can
become ignited by coming in contact
with hot components such as the
muffler, engine exhaust gases, or from
an electrical spark.
Cigarettes, sparks, fires, or other hot
objects can cause gasoline or gaso-
line vapors to ignite.
Improperly stored fuel could lead to
accidental ignition. Fuel improperly se-
cured could get into the hands of chil-
dren or other unqualified persons.
Materials placed against or near the
generator or operating the generator in
areas where the temperature exceeds
104° F. ambient (such as storage
rooms or garages) can interfere with its
proper ventilation features causing
overheating and possible ignition of the
materials or buildings.
Engine speed has been factory set to
provide safe operation. Tampering with
the engine speed adjustment could re-
sult in overheating of attachments and
could cause a fire.
Turn engine off and allow it to cool
before adding fuel to the tank.
Equip area of operation with a fire
extinguisher certified to handle
gasoline or fuel fires.
Add fuel to tank in well ventilated
area. Make sure there are no sourc-
es of ignition near the generator.
Store fuel in a OSHA approved
container designed to hold gaso-
line. Store container in secure loca-
tion to prevent use by others.
Operate generator in a clean, dry,
well ventilated area a minimum of
four feet from any building, object
or wall. DO NOT OPERATE UNIT
INDOORS OR IN ANY CONFINED
AREA.
Never attempt to “speed-up” the
engine to obtain more perfor-
mance. Both the output voltage
and frequency will be thrown out of
standard by this practice, endan-
gering attachments and the user.
