DANGER
FIRE OR EXPLOSION
Gasoline is highly flammable and extremely explosive.
Keep flammable items away while handling gasoline.
Fill fuel tank outdoors and in a well-ventilated area
with the generating set stopped.
Always wipe off spilled fuel and wait until the fuel has
dried before starting the generating set.
DO NOT operate the generator generating set with
known leaks in the fuel system, and regularly check if
fuel system leak.
Use proper fuel storage and handling procedures. DO
NOT store fuel or other flammable materials nearby.
Empty the fuel tank before storing or transporting this
generating set.
Keep fire extinguisher handy and be prepared if a fire
starts.
NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products in
the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in
essential fuel system parts, such as the carburetor, fuel
filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also,
experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called
gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture,
which leads to separation and formation of acids
during storage.
Acidic fuel can damage the fuel system of the
generating set while in storage. Be sure to review the
instructions given in "Storage" section.
Gasoline/Alcohol Blends: up to 10% alcohol, 90%
unleaded gasoline by volume is approved as a fuel.
Other gasoline/alcohol blends are not approved.
Effects of old, stale or contaminated fuel are not
warrantable.

CAUTION
To minimize gum deposits in your fuel system and to
insure easy starting, add proper fuel according to
usage, do not use gasoline left over from the previous
season.
CAUTION
Pressure can build up in the fuel tank. Allow the
generator to cool for at least two minutes before
removing fuel cap. Loosen the fuel cap slowly to
relieve any pressure in the tank.
5. Electrical devices
Disconnect all electrical devices from the generator
before start the engine.
The generator may be hard to start with electrical
devices connected.
6. Grounding
The generating set must be properly connected to an
appropriate ground. It helps prevent electrical shock if
a ground fault condition exists in the generating set or
in connected electrical devices, especially when the
unit is equipped with a wheel kit. Proper grounding
also helps dissipate static electricity, which often builds
up in ungrounded devices.
DANGER
Electrical Shock
Failure to properly ground the generator can result in
electric shock.
Aground terminal on the frame of the generator has
been provided on the generator end.
For remote grounding, connect a length of heavy
gauge(4 mm') copper wire between the generator
ground terminal and a copper rod driven into the
ground.
Local electrical codes may also require proper
grounding of the unit. We strongly recommend that
you consult with a qualified electrician for grounding
requirements in your area.
