FUEL CHECK
DANGER
Fuel spillage on a hot engine can cause
a fire or explosion. If fuel spillage occurs,
wipe up the spilled fuel completely to
prevent fire hazards. NEVER smoke
around or near the generator. Make sure
engine is OFF before refueling.
Refilling the Fuel System
NOTICE
DO NOT refuel while the engine is running.
CAUTION
ONLY properly trained personnel who have read
and understand this section should refill the fuel tank
system.
ALWAYS fill the fuel tank (Figure 38) with clean, fresh
#2 diesel fuel. DO NOT fill the fuel tank beyond its capacity.
Pay attention to the fuel tank capacity when replenishing
fuel. The fuel tank cap must be closed tightly after filling.
Handle fuel in a safety container. If the container does
not have a spout, use a funnel. Wipe up any spilled fuel
immediately.

Refueling Procedure
WARNING
Diesel fuel and its vapors are dangerous
to your health and the surrounding
environment. Avoid skin contact and/or
inhaling fumes.
1. Level Tanks — Make sure fuel cells are level with the
ground. Failure to do so will cause fuel to spill from the
tank before reaching full capacity (Figure 39).
CAUTION
ALWAYS place the trailer on firm, level ground before
refueling to prevent spilling and maximize the amount
of fuel that can be pumped into the tank.
Figure 39. Only Fill On Level Ground
NOTICE
ONLY use #2 diesel fuel when refueling.
2. Open cabinet doors on the "right side" of the generator
(from the generator control panel position). Remove the
fuel cap and fill the tank (Figure 40).
