General Precautions (cont’d)
Gasoline and Oil (cont’d)
• Fuel or oil spills must be cleaned up immediately. Dispose of fluids and cleaning materials as per
any local, state, or federal codes and regulations. Store oily rags in a covered metal container.
• Never store fuel or other flammable materials near the generator.
• Do not smoke, or allow sparks, flames or other sources of ignition around the engine and fuel
tank. Fuel vapors are explosive.
• Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live electrical parts and
connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These events could ignite fumes or vapors.
• 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.
• 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.
• Use only engine manufacturer recommended fuel and oil.
