TO ADD GASOLINE:
1. Place the generator on a level surface. Make sure the
engine is OFF before adding or checking the fuel.
2. Unscrew the fuel cap (Fig. 6) and set it aside. The fuel
cap may be tight and hard to unscrew.
3. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Be careful
not to overfill. Reinstall fuel cap and wipe clean any spilled
gasoline with a dry cloth.
NOTE: Do not fill the fuel tank to the very top. If you do
so, gasoline will expand and spill during use, even with
the fuel cap in place.
TO CHECK GAS LEVEL
(before every subsequent start):
1. Before starting the generator, check the fuel gauge (Fig. 6) to see if there is sufficient fuel inside the tank:
• E = Empty
• F = Full
2. If the tank is empty, add gasoline to the fuel tank. See above section, "To Add Gasoline".

WARNING! If using gasoline, the LPG tank must be shut OFF. If using LPG, the fuel valve on the generator
must be turned to the OFF position.
FUEL OPTION B: LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS (LPG)
DANGER! Explosion and fire. LP vapors are extremely flammable and explosive. Do not use or store LP
cylinder in a building, garage or enclosed area. Failure to do so will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING! Explosion and fire. The cylinder valve should be turned OFF (closed) when generator is not in
use. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.
• Always keep the LPG cylinder in an upright position.
• When transporting and storing, keep cylinder secured in an upright position with cylinder valve turned off. Keep
cylinders ventilated and away from heat when in a vehicle.
• Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) is highly flammable and explosive. Flammable gas under pressure can cause a fire
or explosion if ignited.
• In any petroleum gas fire, flames should not be extinguished unless the fuel supply valve is turned OFF. If a fire
is extinguished and a supply of fuel is not turned OFF, an explosion hazard could be created.
• RISK OF BURNS. Contact with liquid contents of cylinder will cause freeze burns to the skin. If liquid contents
contacts skin or eyes, seek immediate medical attention.
• When exchanging LPG cylinders, be sure the cylinder valve is of the same type.
