• Gasoline fuel and fumes are flammable and potentially explosive. Use proper fuel storage and
handling procedures. Always have multiple ABC class fire extinguishers nearby.
• Keep the generator and surrounding area clean at all times.
• Fuel or oil spills must be cleaned up immediately. Dispose of fluids and cleaning materials as
per any local, state, or federal codes and regulations. Store oily rags in a covered metal

• Do not smoke or allow sparks, flames, or other sources of ignition around the engine or fuel tank.
Fuel vapors are explosive.
• Keep grounded conductive objects such as tools away from exposed or live electrical parts and
connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These objects could ignite fumes or vapors.
• Do not refill the fuel tank while the engine is running or while the engine is still hot. Do not
operate a generator with known leaks in the fuel system.
• Use only the engine manufacturer’s recommended fuel and oil.
