Fuel Safety

Petrol is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Always
use caution when handling petrol.
• Petrol is extremely flammable, and petrol vapor can explode. Before
refueling allow the engine to cool completely if the generator has
been in operation.
• Always store petrol in an approved container.
• Always refuel outdoors or in a well-ventilated area away from any
combustible materials.
• Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near the area
where refueling is performed or where petrol is stored.
• Never permit children to handle petrol.
• Never refuel around bystanders, pets, and flammable objects.
• Loosen the fuel cap slowly to relieve pressure in the tank.
• Take care not to overfull or spill any fuel on the generator or muffler
when refueling.
• If petrol spills on skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap
and water and change clothing.
• Do not use the generator if you observe leaking petrol. Have the
generator serviced immediately and before using it again.
• When operating or transporting the generator, be sure it is kept
upright. If it tilts, fuel may leak. Be sure the fuel tank cap is tightened
when transporting the generator.
• Do not refuel using petrol station pumps.
• Remove fuel from the generator before transporting in a vehicle.
Do not swallow petrol, inhale petrol vapors, or spill petrol. If you swallow
petrol, inhale more than a few breaths of petrol vapor, or splash petrol in
your eyes, see a physician immediately. If petrol spills on skin or clothing,
immediately wash it off with soap and water and change clothing.
