propane tanks, or any other fuel item that is broken, cut,
torn or damaged.
Fire and explosion hazard. DO NOT overfill fuel tank. Fill

causing a fire or explosion hazard.
Fire and explosion hazard. NEVER refuel the generator

NOTICE
DO NOT use E15 or E85 fuel in

damage caused by stale fuel or
the use of unapproved fuels (such
as E15 or E85 ethanol blends) is
not covered by warranty. Only use
unleaded gasoline containing up to
10% ethanol.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
• CLEAN, FRESH, unleaded gasoline, 87–93 octane.

• DO NOT use a gas oil mix.
• DO NOT modify the engine to run on alternate fuels.

USING FUEL STABILIZER
Adding a fuel stabilizer (not included) extends the usable
life of fuel and helps prevent deposits from forming that
can clog the fuel system. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for use.
ALWAYS mix the correct amount of fuel stabilizer to
gasoline in an approved gasoline container before fueling
the generator. Run the generator for five minutes to allow
the stabilizer to treat the entire fuel system.

of two minutes before fueling.

NOTICE
Only fill the tank from an approved gasoline container.
Make sure the gasoline container is internally clean and
in good condition to prevent fuel system contamination.

only to the red maximum fill ring on the fuel screen filter
visible in the filler neck.
