is an odorless, colorless, tasteless,
nonirritating gas that can cause death if
inhaled for even a short time. Avoid
breathing exhaust fumes when working
on or near the generator set. Never
operate the generator set inside a
building unless the exhaust gas is
piped safely outside. Never operate
the generator set where exhaust gas
could accumulate and seep back inside
a potentially occupied building.

The fuel system.
Explosive fuel
vapors can cause severe injury or
death.
Vaporized fuels are highly
explosive.
Use extreme care when
handling and storing fuels. Store fuels
in a well-ventilated area away from
spark-producing equipment and out of
the reach of children. Never add fuel to
the tank while the engine is running
because spilled fuel may ignite on
contact with hot parts or from sparks.
Do not smoke or permit flames or
sparks to occur near sources of spilled
fuel or fuel vapors. Keep the fuel lines
and connections tight and in good
condition. Do not replace flexible fuel
lines with rigid lines.
Use flexible
sections to avoid fuel line breakage
caused by vibration. Do not operate the
generator set in the presence of fuel
leaks, fuel accumulation, or sparks.
Repair fuel systems before resuming
generator set operation.
Fuel tanks. Explosive fuel vapors
can cause severe injury or death.
Gasoline and other volatile fuels stored
in day tanks or subbase fuel tanks can
cause an explosion. Store only diesel
fuel in tanks.
Draining the fuel system. Explosive
fuel vapors can cause severe injury
or death. Spilled fuel can cause an
explosion. Use a container to catch fuel
when draining the fuel system. Wipe up
spilled fuel after draining the system.
