NOTICE
Weather will affect engine oil and engine performance.
Change the type of engine oil used based on weather
conditions to suit the engine needs.
NOTICE
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-
in period. Using synthetic oil does not increase the
recommended oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30 oil
will aid in starting in cold ambient <5º C (41º F).
Add Fuel: Gasoline
DANGER
Gasoline vapors are highly flammable and extremely
explosive.
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes. Fire or explosion can
cause severe burns or death.
Only fill or drain fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator. Use an
approved container to transfer the fuel to the generator.
Never use a gasoline container, gasoline tank, or any other
fuel item that is broken, cut, torn or damaged.
DO NOT overfill the gasoline tank. Always keep fuel away
from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other
sources of ignition.
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
octane rating of 87 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by
volume.
y b c
DO NOT mix oil with gasoline.
1. Remove the gasoline cap.
2. Slowly add gasoline to the tank. Tank is full when gasoline
reaches red circle on screen. DO NOT OVERFILL. Gasoline
can expand after filling. A minimum of ¼ in. (6.4 mm) of
space left in the tank is required for gasoline expansion,
although more than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) is recommended.
Gasoline can be forced out of the tank as a result of
expansion if overfilled, and can affect the stable running
condition of the generator.
3. Screw on the gasoline cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.
CAUTION
Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87
and an ethanol content of 10% or less by volume.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the tank.
DO NOT mix oil and gasoline.
DO NOT overfill the tank. Fill tank to approximately ¼ in.
(6.4 mm) below the top of the tank to allow for gasoline
expansion.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator at the
pump. Use an approved fuel container to transfer the
gasoline to the generator.
DO NOT fill tank indoors.
DO NOT fill tank when the engine is running or hot.
WARNING
Pouring gasoline too fast through the fuel screen may result
in gasoline splashing over the generator and operator while
filling.
NOTICE
The generator engine works well with 10% or less ethanol
blended gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline blends there
are some issues worth noting:
–
Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than
gasoline alone.
–
These ethanol blends can eventually separate, leaving
water or a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and
carburetor. The compromised gasoline can be drawn
into the carburetor and cause damage to the engine
and/or create potential hazards.
–
If a fuel stabilizer is used, confirm that it is formulated to
work with ethanol-gasoline blends.
–
Any damages or hazards caused by using ethanol
blended gasoline higher than 10% by volume, improperly
stored gasoline, and/or improperly formulated
stabilizers, are not covered by manufacturer’s warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the gasoline supply and
run the engine to starvation after each use. See Storage
instructions for extended non-use.
