DANGER OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION

Gasoline is highly flammable and extremely explosive. Keep flammable
items away while handling gasoline. Fill fuel tank outdoors and in a well
-ventilated area with the generator stopped. Always wipe off spilled fuel
and wait until the fuel has dried before starting the generator.
DO NOT operate the generator with known leaks in the fuel system. Use proper fuel storage and handling procedures. DO NOT store fuel or other
flammable materials nearby. Empty the fuel tank before storing or transporting this generator. Keep fire extinguisher handy and be prepared if a
fire starts. NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. It is important to prevent gum de-
posits from forming in essential fuel system parts, such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experience indicates that
alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic fuel can damage the fuel system of the generating set while in storage. Be sure to review the instructions given in "Storage" section. Gasoline/
Alcohol Blends: up to10% alcohol, 90% unleaded gasoline by volume is approved as a fuel. Other gasoline/alcohol blends are not approved. Effects
of old, stale or contaminated fuel are not warrantable.
