the fuel tank while
the engine
is running Fuel and fuel vapours can
become ignited by coming in
contact with hot components
such as the muffler, engine
exhaust gases, or from an
electrical spark.
Turn engine off and allow it to
cool before adding fuel to the
tank. Equip area of operation
with a fire extinguisher certified
to handle fuel fires.
Sparks, fire, hot
objects Cigarettes, sparks, fires, or other
hot objects can cause fuel or
fuel vapours to ignite.
Add fuel to tank in well
ventilated area. Make sure there
are no sources of ignition near
the generator.
Improper storage
of fuel
Improperly stored fuel could
lead to accidental ignition. Fuel
improperly secured could get
into the hands of children or
other unqualified persons.
Store fuel in an approved
container designed to hold
fuel. Store container in secure
location to prevent use by
others.
Tampering with
factory set engine
speed settings Engine speed has been factory
set to provide safe operation.
Tampering with the engine
speed adjustment could result in
overheating of attachments and
could cause a fire.
Never attempt to “speed-up”
the engine to obtain more
performance. Both the output
voltage and frequency will
be thrown out of standard by
this practice, endangering
attachments and the user.
Inadequate
ventilation for
