PRE-OPERATION CHECK
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain Conditions.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or
allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine is refueled or where
gasoline is stored.
Do not overfill the fuel tank(there should be no fuel in the filler neck). After
refueling, make sure the tank cap is closed properly and securely. Be careful
not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any
fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine.
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
WARNING
Fuel tank
FUEL TANK CAP
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
FUEL STRAINER
Use gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher
We recommend unleaded gasoline because it produces fewer engine and spark plug
deposits and extends exhaust system life.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or oil/ gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt
or water in the fuel tank.
Occasionally you may hera light "spark knock" or "pinging"(metallic rapping noise)
while operating under heavy loads. This is no cause for concern.
If spark knock or pinging occurs at a steady engine speed, under normal load,
change brands of gasoline. If spark knock or pinging persists, see an authorized
generator dealer.
Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging can cause
engine damage.
Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging is misuse, and the
Distributor's Limited Warranty does not cover parts damaged by misuse.
