Operation
30
Never fill the portable gas container while it is sitting inside a vehicle,
trailer, trunk, or pick-up truck bed. ALWAYS place container on the
ground to be filled.
Keep nozzle in contact with portable container while filling. Manually
control the flow of gasoline; do NOT use the nozzle’s lock-open
device.
A portable container made of metal or conductive plastic is preferred
because it dissipates charge to ground more readily.
5) Clean up gasoline spills /splashes immediately.
If possible, move the generator
away from spilled gasoline on the
ground.
Wipe up spilled gasoline, and wait 5 minutes for excess gasoline to
evaporate before starting engine.
Gasoline soaked rags are flammable and should be disposed of properly.
If gasoline is spilled on your skin or clothes, change clothes and wash
skin immediately.
6) Replace gasoline cap securely before starting engine.
7) Store extra gasoline in a cool, dry place in an UL-approved, tightly sealed
container.
IMPORTANT:
For continuous operation, be prepared to check and refuel the engine on a
regular basis.
A tank of gasoline should last about 4 hours under 100% load, and
about 8 hours under 50% load.
