Generator Use

Pre-operation check

Running the engine with persistent pinking is misuse, and the Manufacturer’s Warranty does
not cover parts damaged by misuse.

Oxygenated Fuels

Some petrols are being blended with alcohol or an ether compound to increase the octane.
These petrols are collectively referred to as oxygenated fuels. If you use an oxygenated fuel,
be sure its pump octane rating is 86 or higher.

Ethanol (ethyl or grain alcohol)

Petrol containing more than 10% ethanol by volume may cause starting and/or performance
problems.

Methanol (methyl or wood alcohol)

Petrol containing methanol must contain solvents and corrosion inhibitors to protect the fuel
system. Petrol containing more than 5% methanol by volume may cause starting and/or
performance problems and may damage metal, rubber and plastic parts of your fuel system.

MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether)

You may use petrol containing up to 15% MTBE by volume.

Before using an oxygenated fuel, try to confirm the fuel’s contents. Some states require this
information to be posted on the pump. If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms,
switch to a conventional unleaded petrol. Fuel system damage or performance problems
resulting from the use of an oxygenated fuel are not the responsibility of the manufacturer
and are not covered under warranty.

NOTICE
Oxygenated fuels can damage paint and plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when
filling your fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel is not covered under warranty.
