INSPECTION/SETUP

FUEL CHECK
DANGER
Fuel spillage on a hot engine can cause
a fi re or explosion. If fuel spillage occurs,
wipe up the spilled fuel completely to
prevent fire hazards. NEVER smoke
around or near the generator.
Refi lling the Fuel System
CAUTION
ONLY properly trained personnel who have read
and understand this section should refi ll the fuel tank
system.
This generator has an internal fuel tank located inside
the trailer frame and may also be equipped with an
environmental fuel tank (Figure 27). ALWAYS fi ll the fuel
tanks with clean fresh #2 diesel fuel. DO NOT fi ll the fuel
tanks beyond their capacities.
Pay attention to the fuel tank capacity when replenishing
fuel. The fuel tank cap must be closed tightly after fi lling.
Handle fuel in a safety container. If the container does not
have a spout, use a funnel. Wipe up any spilled fuel
immediately.
