WHAT CAN HAPPEN
5- ENG
HOW TO PREVENT IT
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 sources of ignition near
the generator.
Store fuel in a OSHA approved
container designed to hold
gasoline. Store container in se-
cure 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.
Never attempt to "speed-up"
the engine to obtain more per-
formance. Both the output
voltage and frequency will be
thrown out of standard 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.
