 Honeywell Portable Electrical Generator Service Manual

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). After refueling, tighten the fuel cap securely.
• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, the area must be 

dry before starting the engine.

• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor.

After reassembly, check float for proper 
operation.
