READ AND UNDERSTAND
ALL WARNINGS
BEFORE
ATTEMPTING
TO OPERATE
GENERATOR.
RISK OF FIRE
HAZARD
Attempting to fill the fuel tank while the
engine is running.
Sparks, fire, hot objects
Improper storage of fuel
Inadequate ventilation for generator
Tampering with factory set engine speed
settings.
Overfilling the fuel tank- fuel spillage.
WHAT COULD
HAPPEN
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 gasoline
vapors to ignite.
Improperly stored fuel could lead to ac-
cidental ignition. Fuel improperly secured
could get into the hands of children or
other unqualified persons.
Materials placed against or near the
generator can interfere with its proper
ventilation features causing overheat-
ing and possible ignition of the materi-
als.
Engine speed has been factory set to
provide safe operation. Tampering with
the engine speed adjustment could re-
sult in overheating of attachments and
could cause a fire.
Spilled fuel and its vapors can become
ignited from hot surfaces or sparks.
HOW TO PREVENT
IT
Turn engine off and allow it to cool
before adding fuel to the tank. Equip
area of operation with a fire extin-
guisher 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 container designed to
hold gasoline. Store container in se-
cure location to prevent use by oth-
ers.
Operate generator in a clean, dry,
well ventilated area. Keep objects
away from unit during operation. DO
NOT OPERATE UNIT IN A CON-
FINED AREA.
Never attempt to "speed-up"
the en-
gine to obtain more performance.
Both the output voltage and fre-
quency will be thrown out of stan-
dard by this practice, endangering
attachments and the user.
Use care in filling the tank to avoid
spilling fuel. Check engine for fuel
leaks before starting. Move genera-
tor away from refueling area or any
spillage before starting engine. Al-
low for fuel expansion. Keep maxi-
mum fuel level 1/4 inch below the top
of the fuel tank. Never refuel with the
engine running.
