1. Remove the gasoline cap (A) slowly.
2. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to gasoline tank. Be
careful not to fill above the red fuel level indicator
(B). This allows adequate space for fuel expansion.
3. Install gasoline cap and let any spilled fuel
evaporate before starting engine or wipe the spilled
gasoline.

WHEN ADDING GASOLINE
• Only fill the gasoline tank outdoors in a
well-ventilated area.
•
DO NOT overfill gasoline tank. Allow space for fuel
expansion.
• If gasoline spills, wipe spilled gasoline from the unit
or wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot
lights, heat, and other ignition sources.
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently
for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
•
DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
• DO NOT fill the tank when the generator is running
or hot.
•
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator
at the gas station. Use an approved container to
transfer the gasoline to the generator.
NOTICE
• Only fill the tank from an approved gasoline
container. Make sure the gasoline container is
internally clean and in good condition to prevent
fuel system contamination.
• Gasoline can damage paint and plastic. Use caution
when filling the fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled
gasoline is not covered under warranty.
• Clean the fuel screen filter of debris before and after
each fueling. Remove the fuel screen filter by
slightly compressing it while removing it from the
fuel tank.
• It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming
in fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel
hose or tank during storage. Alcohol-blended fuels
(called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture, which leads to separation and formation
of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the
fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid
engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied
before storage of 30 days or longer. See the "Long
Term Storage" section. Never use engine or
carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank as
permanent damage may occur.
Add Fuel: Propane/LPG
DANGER
Propane/LPG is highly flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
• The provided propane/LPG hose with regulator,
works with standard 20, 30 and 40 pound capacity
cylinders with Type 1, right hand Acme threads.
Verify the re-qualification date on the tank has not
expired. Do not use rusted or damaged cylinders.
• Only use provided propane/LPG hose for safe
propane operation.
1. Make certain both gasoline and propane/LPG
valves are closed.
2. Remove the rubber protective plugs (if it is avaiable)
and attach the propane/LPG hose with regulator to
the propane/LPG inlet located on the side control
panel of the generator. Tighten with a 19mm or
adjustable wrench. DO NOT over-tighten.
3. Remove safety plug from the propane/LPG cylinder
valve (if it is available) and attach the other end of
the propane/LPG hose with regulator to cylinder
valve. Tighten the nut by hand clockwise to a
positive stop.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use thread seal tape or any
type of sealant to seal the propane LPG hose
connections.
