TO CHECK OIL LEVEL 

(before every subsequent start):

1. Place the generator on a level surface. Make sure the 

engine is OFF before adding or checking oil. 

2. Remove and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. 

3. Insert the dipstick into the oil fill without screwing it in. 

Remove the dipstick to check the oil mark. 

4. If the oil mark covers 

less than one half

 of the dipstick, 

slowly 

add oil

 until the oil mark reaches the top of the dip-

stick (or when you can see the oil coming halfway up the 

oil fill threads). See Fig. 5.

WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSION. HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:

 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.

•  Do not operate near open flame, heat, or any other ignition source. Do not smoke near the generator.
•  Always operate on a firm, level surface.
•  Always turn generator off before refueling. Allow generator to cool for at least 2 minutes before removing 

fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.

•  Do not overfill fuel tank. Gasoline may expand during operation. Do not fill to the top of the tank. Allow for 

expansion. Always check for spilled fuel before operating.

•  If fuel spills, move the generator at least 30 feet away from the spill and wipe clean any spilled fuel before 

starting the engine.

•  Empty fuel tank before storing or transporting the generator.

ONLY

 use fresh (within 30 days from purchase), lead-free 

gasoline with a 

minimum of 87 octane rating

. The genera-

tor performs best with ethanol-free gasoline. 

DO NOT

 use 

gasoline with over 10% ethanol. 

The capacity of the fuel tank is 

4 US gallons (15 L).

 Do not 

mix oil with gasoline. 

Follow the instructions on the next page to add gasoline.

IMPORTANT:

•  Avoid getting dirt or water into the fuel tank.
•  Keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames, 

pilot lights, heat, and other sources of ignition.

•  Gasoline can age in the tank and make starting 

difficult. Never store the generator for more 

than 2 months with fuel in the tank. 

•  Never use an oil/gasoline mixture.
•  Never use old gasoline. 

OIL LEVEL SHUTDOWN

To protect the unit from damage, the generator is equipped with a low-oil-pressure shutoff that will automatically 

shut down the engine when the oil level is too low. The oil level of the engine should be checked before each start 

to ensure that the engine crankcase contains sufficient lubricant.
