Move Generator to  

Safe Operating Location

1.  Move generator outside to a flat, level 

surface, in an area that will not accumulate 

deadly exhaust gas. Engine exhaust contains 

carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that could 

kill you in minutes. You CANNOT smell it, see 

it, or taste it. Operate ONLY outside far away 

from windows, doors and vents. Install carbon 

monoxide alarms. DO NOT run this product 

inside homes or garages, even if using fans or 

opening doors and windows.

to this step.

NOTICE  

DO NOT use unapproved gasoline such as E15 and 

E85. DO NOT mix oil in gasoline or modify engine to run on 

alternate fuels.
1.  Move generator outdoors to a flat, level surface. 

2.  The generator engine is shipped from the factory filled with oil. 

Before starting the engine, check oil level ( ).
