Operation (cont’d)
28
•
Always dissipate static charge from your body before beginning the
fueling process by touching a grounded metal object at a safe distance
from fuel sources.
•
Never fill the generator’s fuel tank directly from the pump – the
generator’s tank is not grounded and high velocity flow from the
pump can cause static electricity build-up. Use an approved portable
container to transfer gas to the generator’s tank.
•
Never fill the portable gas container while it is sitting inside a
vehicle, trailer, trunk, or pick-up truck bed. ALWAYS place
container on the ground to be filled.
•
Keep nozzle in contact with portable container while filling.
Manually control the flow of fuel; do NOT use nozzle’s lock-open
device.
•
A portable container made of metal or conductive plastic is preferred
because it dissipates charge to ground more readily.
Personal
Protection 1. Hearing can be damaged from prolonged, close-range exposure to the type of
noise produced by this generator. The use of ear plugs or other hearing
protection device is recommended for persons working within 15-20 feet of
the running generator for an extended period of time.
2. Loose or dangling apparel and long hair can become quickly entangled in
moving/rotating parts. Metal jewelry can conduct electricity. Never wear
jewelry or loose-fitting clothing such as neckties, scarves, or long-sleeved
or untucked shirts when starting or adjusting the generator. Tie back and
secure hair close to the head.
