WARNING: Gasoline is flammable and its vapor is explosive. To prevent fire or explosion, follow the
guidelines below:
•
Keep fuel out of the reach of children.

Refuel the generator in well-ventilated area. Do not refuel while engine is running or hot. Disconnect all
electrical loads and shut off the engine before refueling.

Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always allow room for fuel vapors to expand. If you overfill the tank, fuel
can overflow onto the hot engine. This can cause fire or explosion. After refueling, tightly close the fuel
tank cap.

Do not spill fuel. Fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If fuel spills, make sure that the area is dry before
starting the engine.
•
Never smoke in the refueling area. Never allow open flames or sparks in area.
•
Store fuel in an approved container. Store fuel in a well ventilated area free of open flames or sparks.
FUEL TANK CAPACITY

carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill above the shoulder of
the fuel strainer. (until upper limit red line).

deposits and extends exhaust system life. Never use stale or
contaminated gasoline. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel
tank.
Always keep the fuel strainer in place while refueling.
