NOTE: After completing the above preparation, the generator is ready to be started.
GROUND THE GENERATOR
You can ground the generator by tightening the grounding nut on the front control panel against a grounding wire
(Fig. 3). A generally acceptable grounding wire is a No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire.
This grounding wire should be connected at the other end to a copper, brass, or steel-grounding rod that is driven
into the earth. Wire and grounding rods are not included with the generator.
Grounding codes can vary by location. Contact a local electrician to check the area codes.
Step 2 - ADD GASOLINE
Use fresh (within 30 days from purchase), lead-free gasoline
with a minimum of 87 octane rating. Do not mix oil with gaso-
line.
To add gasoline, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew fuel cap and set aside.
NOTE: The fuel cap may be tight and hard to unscrew.
3. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Be careful not
to overfill. The capacity of the fuel tank is 4 gallons.
NOTE: Do not fill the fuel tank to the very top. Gasoline will
expand and spill over during use even with the fuel cap in
place.
4. Reinstall fuel cap and wipe clean any spilled gasoline with a
dry cloth.

WARNING:
This generator may emit highly flammable and explosive gasoline vapors,
which can cause severe burns or even death if ignited. A nearby open flame can lead to
explosion even if not directly in contact with gasoline.
IMPORTANT:
• Never use an oil/gasoline mixture.
• Never use old gasoline.
• Avoid getting dirt or water into the fuel
tank.
• Gasoline can age in the tank and make
starting difficult. Never store generator
for extended periods of time with fuel
in the tank.
WARNING
: Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electric shock.
