3. The approximate fuel level is shown on the fuel gauge on top
of the fuel tank.

4. 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.
Add Fuel: Propane (LPG)
DANGER
NEVER place the LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) connector hose
OR LPG cylinder tank in the path of the muffler exhaust gas
stream of the generator during engine operation.
1. Confirm the dial is in the OFF position.
2. If using a new propane cylinder, remove the plastic cap from
the cylinder valve.
3. Attach the LPG hose assembly (included) to the propane
cylinder valve and hand tighten until snug. DO NOT OVER
TIGHTEN.
4. Remove the rubber boot covering the propane connection port
on the inverter.
5. Align the plastic finger on the male hose fitting on the LPG
hose assembly with the slot next to the female quick connect
coupling on the inverter.
6. Insert the hose fitting into the quick connect coupling and
push in until you hear a “click” and the outside collar of the
quick connect coupling moves forward.
