Product Manual

Gasoline and Oil

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.
