General Precautions (cont’d)
Gasoline and Oil (cont’d)
z
Do not smoke, or allow sparks, flames or other sources of ignition
around the engine and fuel tank. Fuel vapors are explosive.
z
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.
z
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.
z
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.
z
Use only engine manufacturer recommended fuel and oil.
