• Gasoline fuel and fumes are flammable and potentially explosive.
Use proper fuel storage and handling procedures. Always have
multiple ABC class fire extinguishers nearby.
• Keep the generator and surrounding area clean at all times.
Keep the generator at least 5 feet away from buildings and other
equipment during operation.
• 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 vapours are
explosive.
• Keep earthed conductive objects, such as tools, away from
exposed, live electrical parts and connections to avoid sparking or
arcing. These events could ignite fumes or vapours.
• 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 build-up of unburned fuel gases in the exhaust system can
create a potentially explosive condition. This build-up can occur after
repeated failed start attempts, valve testing, or hot engine shutdown.
• Use only engine manufacturer recommended fuel and oil.
