FUEL CHECK
DANGER
Fuel spillage on a hot engine can cause
a fire or explosion. If fuel spillage occurs,
wipe up the spilled fuel completely to
prevent fire hazards. NEVER smoke
around or near the generator. ALWAYS
shut down the engine prior to cleaning up any spilled fuel.
Refilling The Fuel System
NOTICE
DO NOT refuel while the engine is running.
CAUTION
ONLY properly trained personnel who have read
and understand this section should refill the fuel tank
system.
This generator has an internal fuel tank (Figure 13)
located inside the cabinet and may also be equipped with
an optional sub-base fuel tank. ALWAYS fill the fuel tank
with clean, fresh #2 diesel fuel. DO NOT fill the fuel tank
beyond its capacity.
Pay attention to the fuel tank capacity when replenishing
fuel. The fuel tank cap must be closed tightly after filling.
Handle fuel in a safety container. If the container does
not have a spout, use a funnel. Wipe up any spilled fuel
immediately.

INSPECTION/SETUP
Refueling Procedure
WARNING
Diesel fuel and its vapors are dangerous
to your health and the surrounding
environment. Avoid inhalation of fumes
and contact with skin.
1. Level tanks — Make sure fuel cells are level with the
ground. Failure to do so will cause fuel to spill from the
tank before reaching full capacity (Figure 14).
CAUTION
ALWAYS place the trailer on firm, level ground before
refueling to prevent spilling and to maximize the amount
of fuel that can be pumped into the tank.
Level Ground
Figure 14. Only Fill On Level Ground
NOTICE
ONLY use #2 diesel fuel when refueling.
2. Remove the cap from the fuel tank filler port (located
on top of the generator) and fill the fuel tank as shown
in Figure 15.
