Fuel Safety


PETROL AND PETROL VAPORS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE
AND EXPLOSIVE.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Petrol and petrol vapors:
– Petrol is highly flammable and explosive.
– Petrol can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
– Petrol is a liquid fuel but it's vapors can ignite.
– Petrol is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up immediately
if spilled on skin or clothes.
– Petrol has a distinctive odor, this will help detect potential
leaks quickly.
– Petrol expands or contracts with ambient temperatures. Never
fill the petrol tank to full capacity, as petrol needs room to
expand when temperatures rise.
– In the case of any petroleum petrol fire, flames should never
be extinguished unless the fuel supply valve can be turned
OFF. By not doing so, if a fire is extinguished and the supply
of fuel is not turned OFF, an explosion hazard could be created.
When adding or removing petrol:
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
Turn the generator off and let cool for at least two minutes before
removing the petrol cap. Always loosen the cap slowly to relieve
pressure in the tank.
Only fill or drain petrol outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT pump petrol directly into the generator at the gas station.
Always use an approved container to transfer the fuel to the
generator.
DO NOT overfill the fuel tank.
Always keep petrol away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
heat and other sources of ignition.
