ADD FUEL:
Refer to Controls and Features section for diagrams.
1.
Clean area around fuel cap, then remove fuel cap.
2.
Pour fresh, clean regular automotive grade unleaded fuel with a minimum
octane rating of 85 into fuel tank. Do NOT mix fuel with oil. Fuel must have
ethanol blend of 15% or less. Pay close attention to the storage requirements of
these fuels. Do NOT overfill fuel tank.
3.
Install the fuel cap. Rotate the fuel cap clockwise until it is in its locked position.
Wipe away any spilled fuel.
CAUTION:
Alcohol-‐blended fuels (gasohol, ethanol, or methanol) will 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 treated with a fuel stabilizer or drained if the generator will not be
started for thirty (30) days. If using a fuel stabilizer, follow the manufacture’s
recommended instructions for use. Always use stabilizer with a full tank of gasoline.
Always drain old fuel and use fresh fuel before next use. If you do not use a fuel
stabilizer, the fuel system must be drained and cleaned. Drain the fuel tank and start
the engine, allowing it to run until all fuel lines and carburetor are drained of fuel.
Before restarting the carburetor. Float bowl must be removed and cleaned of any
debris.
NEVER
use chemical solvents or cleaners in the fuel tank for damage may occur.
WARNING!
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
