FUEL CHECK
Refilling the Fuel System (Trailer Mounted Generators)
This generator has a fuel tank located inside the trailer
frame.
ALWAYS
fill the fuel tank with clean fresh
#2 diesel
fuel. DO NOT
fill the fuel tank beyond its capacity.
Pay attention to the fuel tank capacity when replenishing
fuel. The fuel tank cap must be closed tightly after filling.
Handle fuel in a safe container. If the container does
not have a spout, use a funnel. Wipe up any spilled fuel
immediately.
Refueling Procedure:
DANGER
Fuel spillage on a
hot
engine can cause a
fire
or
explosion
. If fuel spillage occurs,
wipe up the spilled fuel completely to
prevent fire hazards.
NEVER
smoke
around or near the generator.
CAUTION
ONLY properly trained personnel
who have read
and understood this section should refill the fuel tank
system.
WARNING
Diesel fuel
and its vapors are dangerous
to your health and the surrounding
environment. Avoid skin contact and/or
inhaling fumes.
CAUTION
ALWAYS
make sure generator is on firm level ground
before refueling to prevent spilling and maximize the
amount of fuel that can be pumped into the tank.
