READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE GENERATOR.
RISK OF FIRE
WHAT COULD HAPPEN
Gasoline and gasoline vapors can
become ignited by coming in contact
with hot components such as the
muffler, engine exhaust gases, or from
an electrical spark.
Cigarettes, sparks, fires, or other hot
objects can cause gasoline or gaso-
line vapors to ignite.
Improperly stored fuel could lead to ac-
cidental ignition. Fuel improperly se-
cured could get into the hands of chil-
dren or other unqualified persons.
Materials placed against or near the
generator or operating the generator in
areas where the temperature exceeds
104° F. ambient can interfere with its
proper ventilation features causing over-
heating and possible ignition of the ma-
terials.
Engine speed has been factory set to
provide safe operation. Tampering with
the engine speed adjustment could re-
sult in overheating of attachments and
could cause a fire.
Spilled fuel and its vapors can become
ignited from hot surfaces or sparks.

HOW TO PREVENT IT
Turn engine off and allow it to cool
before adding fuel to the tank. Equip
area of operation with a fire extin-
guisher certified to handle gasoline
or fuel fires.
Add fuel to tank in well ventilated
area. Make sure there are no
sources of ignition near the genera-
tor.
Store fuel in a container designed to
hold gasoline. Store container in se-
cure location to prevent use by oth-
ers.
Operate generator in a clean, dry,
well ventilated area a minimum of
four feet from any objects or wall. DO
NOT OPERATE UNIT INDOORS
OR IN ANY CONFINED AREA.
Never attempt to “speedup” the en-
gine to obtain more performance.
Both the output voltage and fre-
quency will be thrown out of standard
by this practice, endangering attach-
ments and the user.
Use care in filling the tank to avoid
spilling fuel. Make sure fuel cap is
secured tightly and check engine
for fuel leaks before starting
engine. Move generator away from
refueling area or any spillage
before starting engine. Allow for
fuel expansion. Keep maximum
fuel level ¼ inch below the tip of
the fuel tank. Never refuel with the
engine running.
