To add gasoline, follow these steps:
1.
Make sure the generator is shut OFF and on a level
surface. Unscrew the fuel cap (Fig. 8) and set it aside.
The fuel cap may be tight and hard to unscrew.
2.
Slowly add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank.
Be careful not to overfill.
NOTE: Do not fill the fuel tank to the very top. If you do so,
gasoline will expand and spill during use, even with the
fuel cap in place.
3.
Reinstall fuel cap and wipe clean any spilled gasoline
with a dry cloth.
