CAUTION : FIRE
 This generator uses diesel fuel. Always be sure to stop the engine and not
bring flames close when inspecting fuel or refueling. Wait until the engine has
cooled before performing such procedures.
 If fuel spills, always be sure to open the spill containment drain valve and
drain off the spilled fuel.
(Refer to section "10. Inspection/Maintenance (8) Flushing Liquid in Spill
Containment".)
Check if there is a sufficient amount of fuel and add fuel if
insufficient. The fuel meter on the control panel will only
display the fuel level for the internal fuel tank.
< Note >
 Use Diesel fuel, ASTM D975 No.2-D in the event ambient
temperature reaches down to –5 degree Celsius.
 Always use the Diesel Fuel Strainer.
 Fill the fuel tank slightly less than the FULL tank level.
