SAFETY
l Loosen the fuel cap slowly to safely release pressure,
keep gasoline from escaping around the cap, and to
avoid the heat from the muffler igniting fuel vapors.
l NEVER fill the generator's gasoline tank beyond the
maximum fill ring on the fuel screen. Keeping gasoline
levels at or below the fill ring will allow for fuel expansion.
Overfilling the fuel tank can result in a sudden overflow
of gasoline and result in spilled gasoline coming in
contact with HOT surfaces.
l Spilled fuel can ignite. Wipe up spills immediately
and allow area to dry before operating the generator.
NEVER attempt to burn off spilled fuel.
