SAFETY
WARNING
tempt to extinguish the flame unless the fuel selector switch
is in the OFF position. Introducing an extinguisher to a gen-
erator with an open fuel valve could create an explosion haz-
ard.
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- ventilated
area, away from any combustibles or source of ignition.

l ALWAYS store gasoline in a container approved for gasoline.
Unapproved containers can break or deteriorate allowing gas-
oline or gasoline vapors to escape which can create a serious
hazard.
l Gasoline has a distinctive odor, this will help detect potential
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 gasoline tank beyond the 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. Clean any 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 operation.
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.

LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS (LPG/PROPANE)
WARNING
use a gas container, LPG/propane hose, propane cylinder
or any other fuel item that appears to be damaged. If there
is a strong smell of propane while operating the generator,
fully close the propane cylinder valve immediately. Once the
propane is off, use soapy water to inspect for leaks on the
hose and connections on the tank valve and the generator.
Do not smoke or light a cigarette or inspect for leaks using
any open flame source such as a match or lighter. If a leak
is found, contact a qualified technician to inspect and repair
the LPG/propane system before using the generator.
