SAFETY
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
When Adding or Draining Fuel
• Observe all safety regulations for the safe handling of fuel. Handle fuel in
safety containers. If the container does not have a spout, use a funnel.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank, leave room for the fuel to expand.
• Do not refill fuel tank while the engine is running. Before refueling the
generator, turn it off and let it cool down. Gasoline spilled on hot engine
parts could ignite.
• Fill the tank only on an area of bare ground. While fueling the tank, keep
heat, sparks and open flame away. Carefully clean up any spilled fuel
before starting engine.
• Always fill fuel tank in an area with plenty of ventilation to avoid inhaling
dangerous fumes.
• NEVER store fuel for your generator in the home. Gasoline, propane,
kerosene, and other flammable liquids should be stored outside of living
areas in properly-labeled, non-glass safety containers. Do not store
them near a fuel-burning appliance, such as a natural gas water heater
in a garage. If the fuel is spilled or the container is not sealed properly,
invisible vapors from the fuel can travel along the ground and can be
ignited by the appliance's pilot light or by arcing from electric switches in
the appliance.
