Connect the evaporative system to the generator with a 5/16 inch barb fitting. When connecting
hoses, use only lubricants without soap such as WD40. Soap can be caught in the carburetor of the
engine if used and possibly cause in-operation. For connections at the generator or the carbon canister,
use 5/16 inch ID (SAE 30-R7) low permeation flexible hose with stainless steel ear clamps only. The hoses
in the generator meet US and California standards for gasoline evaporative emissions in that they are low
permeation. If making a connection to the generator with fuel hoses, they need to meet the standards for
low permeation and evaporative emissions required in California.
