Step 2 - Add Gasoline or Connect Propane Tank
Gasoline and gasoline fumes are highly flammable and explosive. Handling fuel can result in serious injury or burns.
• Do not fill the fuel tank near a heat, sparks or an open flame. Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot lights, barbecues, electric appliances, power
tools, etc.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always check for fuel spills and immediately wipe them up. Spilled fuel is a fire hazard and causes environmental
damage.
To add gasoline:
To ensure that this generator runs smoothly, use only FRESH, UNLEADED GASOLINE WITH AN OCTANE RATING OF 87 OR HIGHER ONLY.
Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends the life of the exhaust system. This portable generator is not for use
with gasoline/ ethanol blends with over 15% ethanol. Do not use E85 fuel.
1. Confirm that this generator is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew fuel tank cap and set aside. (NOTE: The fuel tank cap may be tight and difficult to unscrew.)
3. Slowly add fresh, unleaded gasoline (with an octane rating 87 or higher only) to the fuel tank. Be careful not to fill the fuel tank above the upper
limit line. NOTE: Because gasoline can expand, do not fill the fuel tank to the very top.
4. Securely tighten the fuel tank cap and immediately wipe up any spilled gasoline with a dry cloth.
Fuel Tank Capacity (gallons) 3.6
Fuel Type Fresh, Unleaded Gasoline Octane Rating 87 or Higher Only
IMPORTANT:
• Use only UNLEADED gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher only.
• Never use a mixture of oil and gasoline.
• Never use old and/or contaminated gasoline.
• Avoid getting dirt and/or water in the fuel tank.
• Gasoline can age in the fuel tank and make it difficult to start this generator. Never store this generator for extended time with gasoline in the
fuel tank.
To connect propane:
If using LPG, first connect the regulator that was included with the generator to the Propane Fuel Tank, then connect the other end to the Gas Inlet.
Make sure the LPG cylinder is vertical and securely positioned.
