SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR GASOLINE
AND GASOLINE VAPOR
DANGER
oline is highly explosive and flammable and can cause
severe burns or death.
WARNING
loosen or remove the fuel cap while the generator is
running. Turn the unit off and allow it to cool for at least
five minutes before adding gasoline. Loosen the fuel
cap slowly.
WARNING
attempt to extinguish the flame unless the engine/fuel
control switch is in the OFF position. Introducing an
extinguisher to a generator with an open fuel valve
could create an explosion hazard.

l Fire Hazard. Gasoline is highly flammable. Handle with
care.
l Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent.
l Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up
immediately if it comes in contact with the skin.
l Do not store gasoline near furnaces, water heaters, or
any other appliances that produce heat or have automatic
ignitions.
l Keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
heat, and other sources of ignition.
l Store any containers containing gasoline in a well-ven-
tilated area, away from any combustibles or source of
ignition.
l ALWAYS store gasoline in a container approved for gas-
oline. Unapproved containers can break or deteriorate
allowing gasoline or gasoline vapors to escape which
can create a serious hazard.
l Gasoline has a distinctive odor, this will help detect po-
tential leaks quickly.
l Gas vapors can cause a fire if ignited.
l Do not smoke when handling fuel, adding fuel to the
generator, or emptying the gas tank.
l Wear eye protection while refueling.
l Before adding fuel to the generator, turn the unit off and
allow it to cool a minimum of five minutes. If necessary,
move the unit to level ground.
l Do not remove the fuel tank cap when the generator is
running.
l Loosen the fuel cap slowly to safely release pressure,
keep gasoline from escaping around the cap, and to avoid
the heat from the muffler igniting fuel vapors.
l NEVER fill the generator's gasoline tank beyond the
C
maximum fill ring on the fuel screen. Keeping gasoline
levels at or below the fill ring will allow for fuel expansion.
Overfilling the fuel tank can result in a sudden overflow of
gasoline and result in spilled gasoline coming in contact
with HOT surfaces.
l Spilled fuel can ignite. Wipe up spills immediately and
allow area to dry before operating the generator. NEVER
attempt to burn off spilled fuel.
l Securely tighten the fuel cap after adding gasoline.
l Do not cover the fuel cap while the generator is in oper-
ation. Covering the cap may cause the engine to fail or
damage the product.
l Drain fuel before storing the unit. Store the unit and the
fuel separately in well-ventilated areas away from sparks,
open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other sources of ignition.
l Turn the unit off and allow it to cool a minimum of 30
minutes before draining fuel.
