area.
DO NOT operate the generator inside any building,
including garages, basements, crawlspaces and
sheds, enclosure or compartment, including the
generator compartment of a recreational vehicle.

utility company before connecting your generator to
your power system.
WARNING
Sparks can result in fire or electrical shock.
When servicing the generator:
Disconnect the spark plug wire and place it where it
cannot contact the plug.
DO NOT check for spark with the plug removed.
Use only approved spark plug testers.
WARNING
Running engines produce heat. Severe burns can
occur on contact.
Combustible material can catch fire on contact.
DO NOT touch hot surfaces.
Avoid contact with hot exhaust gases.

Fuel Safety
DANGER
GASOLINE, GASOLINE VAPORS AND LIQUID
PETROLEUM GAS (LPG) ARE HIGHLY
FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Unintentional startup can result in entanglement,
traumatic amputation or laceration.
Gasoline and Gasoline Vapors (Gas):
– GAS IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
– Gas can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
– Gas is a liquid fuel but it’s vapors can ignite.
– Gas is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up
immediately if spilled on skin or clothes.
– Gas has a distinctive odor, this will help detect
potential leaks quickly.
– In any gas fire, flames should not be extinguished
unless by doing so the fuel supply valve can be
turned OFF. This is because if a fire is extinguished
and a supply of fuel is not turned OFF, then an
explosion hazard could be created.
– Gas expands or contracts with ambient temperatures.
Never fill the gas tank to full capacity, as gas needs
room to expand if temperatures rise.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (Propane/LPG):
– LPG (PROPANE) IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND
EXPLOSIVE.
– Flammable gas under pressure can cause a fire or
explosion if ignited.
– LPG (propane) is heavier than air and can settle in
low places while dissipating.
– LPG (propane) has a distinctive odor added to help
detect potential leaks quickly.
– In any petroleum gas fire, flames should not be
extinguished unless by doing so the fuel supply
valve can be turned OFF. This is because if a fire is
extinguished and a supply of fuel is not turned OFF,
then an explosion hazard could be created.
– When exchanging LPG cylinders, be sure the cylinder
valve is of the same type.
– Always keep the LPG cylinder in an upright position.
– LPG will burn skin if it comes in contact with it.
Keep any and all LPG away from skin at all times.
When adding or removing Gas:
Turn the generator off and let it cool for at least two
minutes before removing the fuel cap. Loosen the cap
slowly to relieve pressure in the tank.
Only fill or drain fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT pump gas directly into the generator at the gas
station. Use an approved container to transfer the fuel to
the generator.
DO NOT overfill the fuel tank.
Always keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot
lights, heat and other sources of ignition.
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
When starting the generator:
DO NOT attempt to start a damaged generator.
Make certain that the gas cap, air filter, spark plug, fuel
lines and exhaust system are properly in place.
Allow spilled fuel to evaporate fully before attempting to
start the engine.
Make certain that the generator is resting firmly on level
ground.
When operating the generator:
DO NOT move or tip the generator during operation.
DO NOT tip the generator or allow fuel or oil to spill.
When transporting or servicing the generator:
Make certain that the fuel shutoff valve is in the off
position and the fuel tank is empty.
Make certain that a LPG cylinder is not attached to
generator and is securely stowed away.
Disconnect the spark plug wire.
When storing the generator:
Store away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat
and other sources of ignition.
Do not store generator, gas or LPG cylinder near
furnances, water heaters, or any other appliances that
produce heat or have automatic ignitions.
WARNING
Never use a gas container, LPG connector hose,
gas tank, LPG cylinder or any other fuel item that is
damaged or appears damaged.
