READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE GENERATOR.
Turn engine off and allow it to cool
before adding fuel to the tank. Equip
area of operation with a fire extin-
guisher certified to handle gasoline
or fuel fires.
Add fuel to tank in well ventilated
area. Make sure there are no
sources of ignition near the genera-
tor.
Store fuel in a container designed
to hold gasoline. Store container in
secure location to prevent use by
others.
Operate generator in a clean, dry,
well ventilated area. Keep objects
away from unit during operation.
DO
NOT OPERATE UNIT IN A CON-
FINED AREA.
Gasoline and gasoline vapors can
become ignited by coming in contact
with hot components such as the
muffler, engine exhaust gases, or
from an electrical spark.
Cigarettes, sparks, fires, or other hot
objects can cause gasoline or gaso-
line vapors to ignite.
Improperly stored fuel could lead to
accidental ignition. Fuel improperly se-
cured could get into the hands of chil-
dren or other unqualified persons.
Materials placed against or near the
generator can interfere with its proper
ventilation features causing overheat-
ing and possible ignition of the
materials.
Attempting to fill the fuel tank while the
engine is running.
Sparks, fire, hot objects
Improper storage of fuel
Inadequate ventilation for generator
Never attempt to
“speed-up”
the
engine to obtain more performance.
Both the output voltage and fre-
quency will be thrown out of stan-
dard by this practice, endangering
attachments and the user.
Use care in filling the tank to avoid
spilling fuel. Check engine for fuel
leaks before starting. Move genera-
tor away from refueling area or any
spillage before starting engine. Al-
low for fuel expansion. Keep maxi-
mum fuel level 1/4 inch below the
top of the fuel tank.
Engine speed has been factory set to
provide safe operation. Tampering with
the engine speed adjustment could re-
sult in overheating of attachments and
could cause a fire.
Spilled fuel and its vapors can become
ignited from hot surfaces or sparks.
Tampering with factory set engine speed
settings.
Overfilling the fuel tank – fuel spillage.
