Add Gasoline

b. Unscrew gas cap and set aside (NOTE: the gas cap
may be tight and hard to unscrew).
c. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Be
careful not to overfill. Please refer to the chart below
to find the gas capacity of your generator model. The
fuel gauge on the top of the gas tank indicates how
much gasoline is in the generator gas tank.

with a dry cloth.

to the very top. Leave a minimum of 1.5 in of open
space.
IMPORTANT:

●
Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
● Gas can age in the tank and make it hard to start up
the generator in the future.
●

with fuel in the tank.
