Add Fuel; Grounding - Firman W01784 El Manual Del Propietario

Add Fuel

Fuel must meet these requirements:
•
Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
•
Use regular UNLEADED gasoline with the
generator engine with a minimum 87 octane
/ 87 AKI (91 RON).
For high altitude use, see "Operation at High
Altitude".
•
Do not use gasoline with more than 10%
alcohol such as E85 or ethanol.
Avoid generator damage.
Failure to follow Operator's Manual for fuel
recommendations voids warranty.
• •
DO NOT use unapproved gasoline such as E85.
DO NOT mix oil in gasoline.
•
DO NOT modify engine to run on alternate fuels.
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable
and explosive which could cause burns, fire or
explosion resulting in death, serious injury
and/or property damage.
WHEN ADDING FUEL
•
Fill fuel tank outdoors.
DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel
expansion. If the tank is overfilled, fuel
can overflow onto a hot engine and cause fire
or explosion. Wipe up any spilled fuel
immediately.
•
If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before
starting engine.
•
Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames,
pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.
•
Check fuel lines, tank, cap and fittings
frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace if
necessary.
DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke when
filling the fuel tank.
1.Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
2.Slowly add unleaded fuel to fuel tank. Be
careful not to fill above the red fuel level
indicator . This allows adequate space for
fuel expansion.
3.Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel
evaporate before starting engine or wipe up
any spilled gasoline.

Grounding

The National Electric Code requires your generator
must be properly connected to an appropriate
ground to help prevent electric shock.
WARNING
A ground terminal connected to the frame of
the generator has been provided on the control
panel. For remote grounding, connect of a
length of heavy gauge (12 AWG minimum)
copper wire between the generator ground
terminal and a copper rod driven into the
ground. We strongly recommend that you
consult with a qualified electrician to ensure
compliance with local electrical codes.
THERE IS A PERMANENT CONDUCTOR BETWEEN
THE GENERATOR (STATOR WINDING) AND THE
FRAME.

CAUTION
Failure to properly ground the
generator can result in electric
shock.
