NOTE: The use of check valves instead of a solenoid shut off valve is not recommended, as
these may tax the fuel lift pump's ability to draw fuel through a check valve. Check valves can
trap dibris under their seat which inhibits the valve's ability to close. In addition, if a check
valve's cracking pressure is too high, it may cause vapor lock.
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.
