FIRE OR EXPLOSION
Gasoline is highly flammable and extremely
explosive.
Keep flammable items away while handling
gasoline.
Fill fuel tank outdoors and in a well-ventilated
area with the generating set stopped. Always
wipe off spilled fuel and wait until the fuel has
dried before starting the generating set.
DO NOT operate the generating set with known
leaks in the fuel system. Regularly check if
there is any leak on fuel system.
Use
proper
fuel
storage
procedures. DO NOT store fuel or other
flammable materials nearby.
Keep fire extinguisher handy and be prepared if
a fire starts.
DANGER
Do not fill the fuel tank above the upper limit.
Over fill will result in engine die or damage the
carbon canister (if equipped) and void your
warranty.
NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products
in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
DANGER
It is important to prevent gum deposits from
forming in essential fuel system parts, Such as the
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during
storage. Also, experience indicates that alcohol-
blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol)
can attract moisture, which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage.
Acidic fuel can damage the fuel system of the
generating set while in storage. Be sure to review
the instructions given in "Storage" section.
Gasoline/Alcohol blends: up to 10%alcohol,
90%unleaded gasoline by volume is approved as a
fuel. Other gasoline/alcohol blends are not
approved.
Effects of old, stale or contaminated fuel are not
and
handling
warrantable.
To minimize gum deposits in your fuel system
and to insure easy starting, do not use gasoline
left over from the previous season.
