1.6 Fuel and Fumes Are Flammable
Fire, explosion, and personal injury or death can result from improper practices.
DO NOT permit any flame, cigarette, pilot light, spark, arcing equipment, or
other ignition source near the generator set or fuel system.
Fuel lines must be adequately secured and free of leaks. Fuel connection at the
engine should be made with an approved flexible line. Do not use copper piping
on flexible lines because copper will become brittle if continuously vibrated or
repeatedly bent.
Be sure all fuel supplies have a positive shutoff valve.
Be sure the battery area has been well-ventilated prior to servicing near it.
Lead-acid batteries emit a highly explosive hydrogen gas that can be ignited by
arcing, sparking, smoking, etc.
