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 genera-
tor.
Store fuel in a OSHA approved con-
tainer designed to hold gasoline.
Store container in secure location 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.
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 ac-
cidental 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 overheat-
ing and possible ignition of the materi-
als 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
engine 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 ¼ 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.
