DANGER
Gasoline, gasoline vapors and propane (LPG) are highly
flammable and extremely explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death. Only
fill or drain fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT
pump gasoline directly into the generator. Use an approved
container to transfer the fuel to the generator. Never use a
gasoline container, gasoline tank, LPG connector hose, LPG
cylinder or any other fuel item that is damaged or appears
damaged. DO NOT overfill the gasoline tank. Always keep
fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and
other sources of ignition. DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
