Fuel and Oil (contd)
Do not smoke or allow sparks, flames or other sources of ignition around the engine and fuel
tank. Fuel vapors are explosive.
Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live electrical parts and
connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These events could ignite fumes or vapors.
Do not refill the fuel tank or replace the propane cylinder while the engine is running or while the
engine is still hot. Do not operate the generator with known leaks in the fuel system
Excessive buildup of unburned fuel gases in the exhaust system can create a potentially
explosive condition. This buildup can occur after repeated failed start attempts, valve testing, or
hot engine shutdown. If this occurs, open exhaust system drain plugs, if equipped, and allow the
gases to dissipate before attempting to restart the generator.
Use only engine manufacturer recommended fuel and oil.
Hot Components
WARNING! ENGINE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM PARTS BECOME VERY
HOT AND REMAIN HOT FOR SOME TIME AFTER THE ENGINE IS RUN. WEAR
INSULATED GLOVES OR WAIT UNTIL THE ENGINE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM
HAVE COOLED BEFORE HANDLING THESE PARTS.
