tightened securely. 

   

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 

 

Immediately wipe off spilled fuel with a clean, dry, soft cloth. 
Fuel may deteriorate painted surfaces or plastic parts. 
Use unleaded gasoline only, as leaded gasoline can severely 
damage internal parts of the generator. 

Remove  the fuel  tank cap and fill the tank to the red level. 

Recommended fuel: Unleaded gasoline
