INITIAL USE INSTRUCTIONS

FUEL

Add fuel to the generator in a well-ventilated area. Never refuel the 
engine inside a building where gasoline fumes may reach flames or 
sparks. Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot lights, barbecues, 
electric appliances, power tools, etc. Spilled fuel is not only a fire 
hazard, it causes environmental damage. Wipe up spills immediately.

This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline with a pump 
octane rating of 86 or higher. Refer to page 46 for additional fuel 
recommendations.

1. Remove the fuel tank cap.

2. Fuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill the fuel tank above 

the upper level mark (red) on the fuel filter.

3. After refueling, reinstall the fuel tank cap securely.

Gasoline is highly flammable and 
explosive.

You can be burned or seriously 
injured when handling fuel.

• Stop the engine and keep heat, 

sparks, and flame away when 
refueling.

• Handle fuel only outdoors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
