WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
When Adding or Draining Fuel
• Observe all safety regulations for the safe handling of fuel. Handle
fuel in safety containers. If the container does not have a spout, use
a funnel.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank, leave room for the fuel to expand.
• Do not refill fuel tank while the engine is running. Before refueling the
generator, turn it off and let it cool down. Gasoline spilled on hot
engine parts could ignite.
• Fill the tank only on an area of bare ground. While fueling the tank,
keep heat, sparks and open flame away. Carefully clean up any spilled
fuel before starting engine.
• Always fill fuel tank in an area with plenty of ventilation to avoid
inhaling dangerous fumes.
• NEVER store fuel for your generator in the home. Gasoline, propane,
kerosene, and other flammable liquids should be stored outside of
living areas in properly-labeled, non-glass safety containers. Do not
store them near a fuel-burning appliance, such as a natural gas water
heater in a garage. If the fuel is spilled or the container is not sealed
properly, invisible vapors from the fuel can travel along the ground and
can be ignited by the appliance’s pilot light or by arcing from electric
switches in the appliance.
WARNING
The GFCI may not function unless the generator is properly
grounded. Follow the correct procedure specified in the section
labeled GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION
These generators are equipped with a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupters) 120V duplex receptacles for protection against the hazards
of electrical shock from defective attachments such as, tools, cords,
and cables.
A GFCI is a device that interrupts electricity from either the utility or
generator by means of a special type of circuit breaker that determines if
a current flow to the ground occurs.
A GFCI can be used only with generators that have the neutral wire
internally bonded to the frame, and the frame properly grounded to the
earth. A GFCI will not work on generators that do not have the neutral
wire bonded to the frame, or on generators which have not been properly
grounded. All BE generators have internally bonded ground wires.
