FIRE AND EXPLOSION PRECAUTIONS:
1. Gasoline fuel and fumes are flammable, and potentially explosive. Use proper fuel storage and
handling procedures. Always have multiple ABC class fire extinguishers nearby.
2. Keep the Generator and surrounding area clean at all times.
3. When spills of fuel or oil occur, they must be cleaned up immediately. Dispose of fluids and
cleaning materials as per any local, state, or federal codes and regulations. Store oil rags in a
covered metal container.
4. Never store fuel or other flammable materials near the Generator.
5. Do not smoke, or allow sparks, flames or other sources of ignition around the Engine and Fuel
Tank. Fuel vapors are explosive.
6. Do not refill the Fuel Tank while the Engine is running or while the Engine is still hot. Do not operate
the Generator with known leaks in the fuel system.
7. Excessive buildup of unburned fuel gases in the exhaust system can create a potentially explosive
condition. This buildup can occur after repeated failed start attempts, valve testing, or hot engine
shutdown. If this occurs, open exhaust system drain plugs, if equipped, and allow the gases to
dissipate before attempting to restart the Generator.
8. Use only engine manufacturer recommended fuel and oil.
CHEMICAL PRECAUTIONS:
1. Avoid contact with fuel, oil, and exhaust fumes.
2. Avoid body contact with fuels, oils, and lubricants used in the Generator. If swallowed, seek
medical treatment immediately. Do not induce vomiting if fuel is swallowed. For skin contact,
immediately wash with soap and water. For eye contact, immediately flush eyes with clean water.
