This product requires oil and fuel. Attempting to start the engine without oil
will ruin the engine and void the warranty. Work in a well-ventilated area.
Keep cigarettes, flames or sparks away from the work area or where gasoline
is stored.
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE. YOU
COULD BE BURNED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED IF THE GASOLINE
IS IGNITED.
•
Before refueling, stop the engine and keep heat, sparks and flame away.
•
Handle fuel only outdoors.
•
Do not fill the fuel tank above the upper limit line.
•
Wipe up fuel and oil spills immediately.
•
Gasoline and its fumes are flammable and potentially explosive. Use
proper fuel storage and handling procedures. ALWAYS HAVE
MULTIPLE ABC CLASS FIRE EXTINGUISHERS HANDY.
•
KEEP THE GENERATOR AND SURROUNDING AREA CLEAN AT
ALL TIMES. 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 FLAMMABE MATERIALS NEAR
THE GENERATOR.
•
Do not smoke or allow sparks, flames or other sources of ignition around
the engine and fuel tank. Fuel vapors are explosive.
•
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.
•
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 buildup of unburned fuel or 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.
•
Only use engine oil and fuel recommended by manufacturer.
