Handling Gasoline

If the generator has been in operation, allow engine to cool completely before refueling.

Always store gasoline in an approved container.

Always refuel outdoors or in a well-ventilated area away from any combustible materials.

Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near the area where refueling is performed or where gasoline is stored.

Never permit children to handle gasoline.

Never refuel around bystanders, pets, and flammable objects.

Loosen the fuel cap slowly to relieve pressure in the tank.

Take care not to overfull or spill any fuel on the generator or muffler when refueling.

If spills occur, wipe up with a clean, dry cloth and let generator sit for 10 minutes in a well-ventilated area to allow fumes to evaporate completely.

If gasoline spills on skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap and water and change clothing.

Do not use the generator if you observe leaking gasoline. Have the generator serviced immediately and before using it again.

When operating or transporting the generator, be sure it is kept upright. If it tilts, fuel may leak. Be sure the fuel tank cap is tightened when transporting the generator.

Do not refuel using gas station pumps.

Remove fuel from the generator before transporting in a vehicle.
