b. Fill Fuel Tank:- Remove Fuel Tank FILLER CAP by turning
counterclockwise. Fill Fuel Tank with clean, fresh gasoline as
recommended in the ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS CHART at front of Manua!.
Install and tighten FILLER CAP.
DANGER!
Gasoline is extremely FLAMMABLE and its vapors are EXPLOSIVE. DO NOT
permit smoking€ open flame or sparks in the vicinity while handling
gasoline. Avoid spillage of gasoline on a hot engine. Comply with all
laws regulating the storage and handling of gasoline. Never store the
generator with fuel in tank where gasoline vapors might reach an open
flame, spark or pilot light (such as on a furnace, water heater,
dryer, etc.)- FIRE or an EXPLOSION might result.
C. 120 Volts Cord Sets:- Use only high quality, well insulated,
grounded cord sets with the generator's 120 volts a-c receptacles.
Wire gauge of cord sets must be large enough to handle the maximum
anticipated current draw of connected electrical loads. Cord sets that
are excessively long or that are rated at too low an amperage will
cause a voltage drop and will overheat. Table 2-1 lists minimum
recommended wire gauges, based on the cord set length and the load
current draw in amperes.

2.2- OPERATING LOCATION
Comply with the following rules pertaining to operating location of
the generator:-
a. Place the generator on a level surface. Maximum tilt of the engine
in any direction must not exceed 20 degrees, or engine lubricating
problems may result.
b. Never operate the generator where it will be exposed to flooding,
excessive moisture, dust, dirt or corrossive vapors.
c. Provide adequate ventilation. Never operate the generator inside
any room or enclosure where exhaust fumes might accumulate and
endanger people.
d. Never run the generator inside any room or enclosure that might ob-
struct the free flow of cooling air. Without adequate cooling air, the
unit will quickly overheat, causing serious operating problems and
possible damage to equipment and/or property.
