2. Slowly add unleaded fuel to red fuel level indicator (
A
)
in fuel tank. Be careful not to fill above the indicator.
This allows adequate space for fuel expansion.
3. Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate before
starting engine.
High Altitude
At altitudes over 1524 meters (5,000 feet), a minimum
85 octane / 85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is acceptable. To
remain emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is
required. Operation without this adjustment will cause
decreased performance, increased fuel consumption, and
increased emissions. See a Briggs & Stratton Authorized
Dealer for high altitude adjustment information. Operation of
the engine at altitudes below 762 meters (2,500 feet) with
the high altitude kit is not recommended.
Fuel Tank Cap Vent Lever
The fuel tank cap is provided with a vent lever (
B
) to seal the
fuel tank. The vent lever must be in the “
ON or I
” position for
the engine to run.
When the engine is not in use, leave the vent lever in the
“
OFF
” position to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage. Allow
the engine to cool before turning the vent lever to the “
OFF
or O
” position.
Grounding Fastener
The generator neutral is floating, which means that the AC
stator winding is isolated from the grounding fastener and
the AC receptacle ground pins. On a floating neutral
generator the AC receptacle ground pins are not functional.
Electrical devices, such as a GFCI, requiring a functioning AC
receptacle ground pin will not operate.
Special Requirements
There may be Federal, local codes, or ordinances that apply
to the intended use of the generator. Please consult a
qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the local agency
having jurisdiction:
• This generator has a floating neutral and is not for use
on job sites requiring a bonded neutral.
Generator Location
Clearances and Air Movement
Place generator outdoors in an area that will not accumulate
deadly exhaust gas. DO NOT place generator where exhaust
gas (
C
) could accumulate and enter inside or be drawn into a
potentially occupied building. Ensure exhaust gas is kept
away from any windows, doors, ventilation intakes, or other
openings that can allow exhaust gas to collect in a confined
area. Prevailing winds and air currents should be taken into
consideration when positioning generator.

WARNING
Exhaust heat/gases could ignite
combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank
causing a fire, resulting in death, serious injury
and/or property damage.
• Keep at least 1.5 m (5 ft.) clearance on all sides of generator
including overhead.
