READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE GENERATOR.
RISK OF FIRE
Turn engine off and allow it to cool
before adding fuel to the tank. Equip
area of operation with a fire extin-
guisher certified to handle gasoline
or fuel fires.
Add fuel to tank in well ventilated
area. Make sure there are no sources
of ignition near the generator.
Store fuel in a OSHA approved con-
tainer designed to hold gasoline. Store
container in secure location to pre-
vent 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 IN-
DOORS OR IN ANY CONFINED
AREA.
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 gasoline
vapors to ignite.
Improperly stored fuel could lead to ac-
cidental ignition. Fuel improperly secured
could get into the hands of children or
other unqualified persons.
Materials placed against or near the gen-
erator or operating the generator in ar-
eas where the temperature exceeds 104°
F. ambient (such as storage rooms or ga-
rages) can interfere with its proper ven-
tilation features causing overheating and
possible ignition of the materials or
buildings.
Attempting to fill the fuel tank while
the engine is running.
Sparks, fire, hot objects
Improper storage of fuel
Inadequate ventilation for generator
Never attempt to “speed-up” the en-
gine to obtain more performance.
Both the output voltage and fre-
quency will be thrown out of stan-
dard by this practice, endangering
attachments and the user.
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.
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.
Spilled fuel and its vapors can become
ignited from hot surfaces or sparks.
Tampering with factory set engine
speed settings.
Overfilling the fuel tank – fuel spill-
age.
