IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Fuel Safety
DANGER
GASOLINE, GASOLINE VAPORS AND PROPANE (LPG) ARE
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Gasoline and gasoline vapors:
– Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
– Gasoline can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
– Gasoline is a liquid fuel but it’s vapors can ignite.
– Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up
immediately if spilled on skin or clothes.
– Gasoline has a distinctive odor, this will 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.
– Gasoline expands or contracts with ambient temperatures.
Never fill the gasoline tank to full capacity, as gasoline needs
room to expand if temperatures rise.
LPG:
– LPG is highly flammable and explosive.
– LPG is under pressure and can cause a fire or explosion if
ignited.
– LPG is heavier than air and can settle in low places while
dissipating.
– LPG has a distinctive odor added to help detect potential leaks
quickly.
– In any petroleum gas fire, flames should not be extinguished
unless the fuel supply valve is 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 gasoline:
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
Turn the generator off and let it cool for at least two minutes
before removing the gasoline cap. Loosen the cap slowly to relieve
pressure in the tank.
Only fill or drain gasoline outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator at the gas
station. Use an approved container to transfer the fuel to the
generator.
DO NOT overfill the gasoline tank.
Always keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
heat and other sources of ignition.
When starting the generator:
DO NOT attempt to start a damaged generator.
Make certain that the gasoline cap, air filter, spark plug, fuel lines
and exhaust system are properly in place.
Allow spilled gasoline 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 valve is in the OFF position and the
gasoline tank is empty.
For LPG compatible models, be sure that the LPG cylinder is
disconnected and stored securely away from the generator.
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, gasoline or LPG cylinders near furnaces,
water heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or have
automatic ignitions.
WARNING
Never use a gasoline container, gasoline tank, LPG connector
hose, LPG cylinder or any other fuel item that is broken, cut,
torn or damaged.
