by PRAMAC. There are two kind of Alcoholic petrol, one contains ethanol and the other
contains methanol. Do not use alcoholic petrol with over 10% ethanol. Do not use methanol
petrol without co-solvents and preservatives in the methanol. If there is co-solvents and
preservatives in the methanol, do not use the petrol with over 5% methanol.

the cover. If necessary, clean or replace the filter. See figure 5.

Fuel shall not overflow out of tank (on fuel on the fill opening). Tighten the fuel
filler cap after filling up.

Do not overflow the fuel because the fuel or mist may catch fire. Once the fuel is
overflowed, ensure the region is dried before running the engine.

generator is not running as expected, please change to use fuel without alcohol.
