SUBSEQUENT STARTING OF THE GENERATOR
WARNING: This generator may emit highly flammable and explosive gasoline vapors, which can cause
severe burns or even death if ignited. A nearby open flame can lead to an explosion even if it is not
directly in contact with fuel.
• Do not operate near open flames.
• Do not smoke near the generator.
• Always operate on a firm, level surface.
• Always turn the generator off before refueling. Allow generator to cool for at least 2 minutes before re-
moving the fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.
• Do not overfill fuel tank. Gasoline may expand during operation. Do not fill to the top of the tank. Allow
for expansion.
• Always check for spilled fuel before operating. Clean up any spilled fuel before starting.
• Empty the fuel tank before storing or transporting the generator.
• Before transporting, turn fuel valve to off position.
IMPORTANT:
• Use only UNLEADED gasoline.
• Do not use old gasoline.
• Never use an oil/gasoline mixture.
• Avoid getting dirt or water into the fuel tank.
Step 3 - GROUND THE GENERATOR
WARNING: Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electrocution.
Ground the generator by tightening the grounding nut on the front control panel against a grounding wire (Figure
3). A generally acceptable grounding wire is a No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire. This
grounding wire should be connected at the other end to a copper, brass, or steel-grounding rod that is driven into
the earth. Wire and grounding rod are not included in generator contents.
Grounding codes can vary by location. Contact a local electrician for area codes.
