FUEL CHECK
Refilling the Fuel System
ALWAYS fill the fuel tank (Figure 24) with clean, fresh
#2 diesel fuel. DO NOT fill the fuel tank beyond its capacity.
Pay attention to the fuel tank capacity when replenishing
fuel. The fuel tank cap must be closed tightly after filling.
Handle fuel in a safety container. If the container does
not have a spout, use a funnel. Wipe up any spilled fuel
immediately.
Figure 24. Fuel Tank
DANGER
Fuel spillage on a hot engine can cause
a fire or explosion. If fuel spillage occurs,
wipe up the spilled fuel completely to
prevent fire hazards. NEVER smoke
around or near the generator. ALWAYS
shut down the engine prior to cleaning up any spilled fuel.
NOTICE
DO NOT refuel while the engine is running.

ONLY properly trained personnel who have read
and understand this section should refill the fuel tank
system.

REFUELING PROCEDURE:
1. Level Tanks — Make sure fuel cells are level with the
ground. Failure to do so will cause fuel to spill from the
tank before reaching full capacity (Figure 25).
Figure 25. Only Fill on Level Ground
2. Open cabinet doors on the “right side” of the generator
(from the generator control panel position). Remove
the fuel cap and fill the tank (Figure 26).
