DRAFT OPEI Board Book 0625

Store fuel and batteries safely . Use containers designed for fuel and label them with the purchase date and ethanol content. Use up fuel before it’s thirty days old and run equipment dry of fuel before storage. Keep battery packs away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, or screws, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Keep batteries stored away from one another.

Clean equipment before storing. Remove dirt, oil or grass before using and storing equipment. Store it in a dry place, avoiding damp or wet environments.

Plan ahead for safe placement of generators. NEVER place a generator in a home, garage, carport, or near an open window or door. Have on hand and use outdoor-rated power cords long enough to keep it a safe distance from the house.
