erator or operating the generator in ar-

eas where the temperature exceeds 104°

F. ambient (such as storage rooms or ga-

rages) can interfere with its proper ven-

tilation features causing overheating and

possible ignition of the materials or

buildings.

Attempting to fill the fuel tank while

the engine is running.

Sparks, fire, hot objects

Improper storage of fuel

Inadequate ventilation for generator

Never attempt to “speed-up” the en-

gine to obtain more performance.

Both the output voltage and fre-

quency will be thrown out of stan-

dard by this practice, endangering

attachments and the user.

Use care in filling the tank to avoid

spilling fuel. Make sure fuel cap is

secured tightly and check engine

for fuel leaks before starting

engine. Move generator away from

refueling area or any spillage before

starting engine. Allow for fuel

expansion. Keep maximum fuel

level ¼ inch below the tip of the
