Fire and Burn Hazards
The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite materials. Keep generator at least 3 feet (1 meter)
away from buildings and other equipment during operation. Do not enclose generator in any
structure. Keep flammable materials away from generator. The muffler becomes very hot
during operation and remains hot for a while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch
muffler while it is hot. Let engine cool before storing generator indoors.
1.2.5
Refueling Hazards
Fuels are extremely flammable, and fuel vapors can explode. Allow engine to cool if generator
has been in operation. Refuel only outdoors in a well-ventilated area with the engine OFF. Do
not overfill the fuel tank. Never smoke near fuels, and keep other flames and sparks away.
Always store fuels in an approved container. Make sure that any spilled fuel has been wiped up
before starting engine.
1.3
Safety Label Locations
Refer to warning labels on generator to warn against potential hazards that can cause serious
injury. Read warning labels carefully. If a label comes off or becomes hard to read, contact
Novatio for a replacement.
