READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE

ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE GENERATOR.

RISK OF FIRE

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 gaso-
line. 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 CON-
FINED 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
accidental ignition. Fuel improperly
secured could get into the hands of
children 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 overheating and
possible ignition of the materials or
buildings.

Attempting to fill the fuel tank while
the engine is running.

Sparks, fire, hot objects

Improper storage of fuel

Inadequate ventilation for genera-
tor

Never attempt to “speed-up” the
engine to obtain more perfor-
mance. 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.

Engine speed has been factory set to
provide safe operation. Tampering
with the engine speed adjustment
could result in overheating of attach-
ments and could cause a fire.

Spilled fuel and its vapors can be-
come ignited from hot surfaces or
sparks.

Tampering with factory set engine
speed settings.

Overfilling the fuel tank –
fuel spillage.
