Add Fuel
Fuel must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). For
high altitude use, see High Altitude .
• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) is
acceptable.
NOTICE Use of unapproved fuels could damage
generator and voids warranty.
• DO NOT use unapproved gasoline such as E15 and E85.
• DO NOT mix oil in gasoline or modify engine to run on
alternate fuels.
To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix
in a fuel stabilizer when adding fuel. See Storage .
All fuel is not the same. If you experience starting or
performance problems after using fuel, switch to a
different fuel provider or change brands. This engine is
certified to operate on gasoline. The emission control
system for this engine is EM (Engine Modifications).
1. Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
2. Slowly add unleaded gasoline ( A ) to fuel tank ( B ).
Be careful not to fill above the baffle ( C ). This allows
adequate space for fuel expansion as shown.
3. Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate
before starting engine.
High Altitude
At altitudes over 1524 m (5,000 ft.), a minimum
85 octane/85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is acceptable. To
remain emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is
required. Operation without this adjustment will cause
decreased performance, increased fuel consumption,
and increased emissions. See an authorized dealer
for high altitude adjustment information. Operation of
the engine at altitudes below 762 m (2,500 ft.) with the
high altitude kit is not recommended.
System Ground
The generator has a system ground that connects the
generator frame components to the ground terminals
on the AC output receptacles. The system ground is
connected to the AC neutral wire (the neutral is bonded
to the generator frame).
Special Requirements
There may be Federal or State Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, local
codes, or ordinances that apply to the intended use of
the generator. Please consult a qualified electrician,
electrical inspector, or the local agency having
jurisdiction:
• In some areas, generators are required to be
registered with local utility companies.
• If the generator is used at a construction site,
there may be additional regulations which must be
observed.
Connecting to a Building’s Electrical System
Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical
system must use a listed transfer switch installed by
a current licensed electrician. The connection must
isolate the generator power from the utility power and
must comply with all applicable laws and electrical
codes.

WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive which
could cause burns, fire or explosion
resulting in death or serious injury.
WHEN ADDING FUEL
• Turn generator engine OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes
before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve
pressure in tank.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors.
• DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
heat, and other ignition sources.
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap and fittings frequently for
cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
WARNING
Generator voltage could cause
electrical shock or burn resulting in death or
serious injury.
• Use listed transfer equipment, suitable for the intended use,
to prevent backfeed by isolating generator from electric utility
workers.
• When using generator for backup power, notify utility
company.
• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in any damp
or highly conductive area, such as metal decking or steel
work.
• DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles.
• DO NOT use generator with electrical cords which are
worn, frayed, bare or otherwise damaged.
• DO NOT operate generator in the rain or wet weather.
• DO NOT handle generator or electrical cords while
standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet
are wet.
• DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to operate
or service generator.
