NOTE: The use of spring loaded check valves instead of solenoid shut off valves is not recom-
mended for these may tax the fuel lift pump's ability to draw fuel. A check valve can trap debris
under its seat which inhibits the valve's ability to close. In addition, if a check valve's crack-
ing pressure is too high, it will contribute to vapor lock in the fuel lift pump.
It is recommended that an approved filter/separator be used in the fuel supply between the fuel tank and the
generator's engine to help remove contaminants in the fuel before the fuel reaches the engine-mounted fuel
lift pump and carburetor.
IWARNINGI
Gasoline leakage in or around the generator compartment is a potential cause of fire and/or
explosion. Repair leaks promptly and ensure that the compartment is properly ventilated.
