FUEL TANK SYSTEM 9.4 FUEL TANK SYSTEM WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions. • Refuel the generator only outdoors, in a well-ventilated area. • NEVER enclose the generator in any structure. • Keep generator at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from buildings, other equipment, and combustible materials during oper- ation. • NEVER fill the fuel tank while the engine is running. Turn the generator OFF and allow it to cool before filling with fuel. • NEVER smoke or allow flames or sparks near the generator or where gasoline is stored. • NEVER overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck).
