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.

FILLING THE FUEL TANK

1. 

Turn the generator OFF and allow to cool for a minimum 

of two minutes before fueling. 

2. 

Place the generator on level ground in a well-ventilated 

area. 

3. 

Clean area around fuel cap and remove the cap slowly. 

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.

4. 

Slowly add the recommended fuel. 

DO NOT

 overfill. Fill 

only to the red maximum fill ring on the fuel screen filter 

visible in the filler neck. 

5. 

Install the fuel cap. 

NOTICE

Fuel can damage paint and plastic. Use caution when 

filling the fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel is not 

covered under warranty. 

NOTICE

Clean  the  fuel  screen  filter  of  debris  before  and  after 

each  fueling.  Remove  the  fuel  screen  filter  by  slightly 

compressing it while removing it from the fuel tank. 

CONNECT THE BATTERY

A quick-connect battery plug is pre-installed on the battery. 

Remove the cable tie securing the plugs then push firmly 

to connect them. 

Quick-Connect Plug

 

Note: 

The generator is equipped with a battery charging 

feature. Once the engine is running, a small charge 

will slowly recharge the battery.
