Fire and Burn Hazards
Do not use the generator in areas with a high risk of fire.
The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials.
– Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from buildings and
other equipment during operation.
– Do not enclose the generator in any structure.
– Keep flammable materials away from the generator.
Some parts of the internal combustion engine are hot and may cause
burns. Pay attention to the warnings on the generator.
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a
while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler
while it is hot. Let the engine cool before storing the generator indoors.
Do not pour the water directly on the generator to put out the fire when
it occurs. Use an appropriate fire extinguisher specially designed for
electric fire or oil fire.
If you inhale fumes produced by an accidental fire with the generator,
consult a doctor and have medical treatment immediately.
Refuel With Care
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode. Allow
the engine to cool if the generator has been in operation.
Refuel only outdoors in a well ventilated area with the engine off.
Do not refuel during operation.
Do not overfill the fuel tank.
Never smoke near gasoline, and keep other flames and sparks away.
Always store gasoline in an approved container.
Make sure that any spilled fuel has been wiped up before starting the
engine.
