Refueling - Honda EG4000CL Owner's Manual

SERVICING YOUR GENERATOR

REFUELING

With the engine stopped, check the fuel gauge. Refill the fuel tank if
the fuel level is low.
Fuel can damage paint and plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when
filling your fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel is not covered
under warranty.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area before starting the engine. If the
engine has been running, allow it to cool. Refuel carefully to avoid
spilling fuel.
Do not fill above the upper level mark (see page 41) or fuel may flow
into the charcoal canister causing fuel spillage. This overflow may
also prevent the fuel tank from venting properly.
Never refuel the engine inside a building where gasoline fumes may
reach flames or sparks. Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot
lights, barbecues, electric appliances, power tools, etc.
Spilled fuel is not only a fire hazard, it causes environmental damage.
Wipe up spills immediately.
