GENERATOR PREPARATION
Fig. 8
To add gasoline, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the generator is shut OFF and on a level
surface. Unscrew the fuel cap (Fig. 8) and set it aside. The
fuel cap may be tight and hard to unscrew.
2. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Be care-
ful not to overfill.
NOTE: Do not fill the fuel tank to the very top. If you do so,
gasoline will expand and spill during use, even with the
fuel cap in place.
3. Reinstall fuel cap and wipe clean any spilled gasoline
with a dry cloth.
To check fuel level:
During operation, the fuel level will be displayed on the DATA CENTER of the panel, or check the fuel gauge.
If the fuel level is low, refill the fuel tank before starting your generator for the next time.
