NOTICE
Federal and local laws and administrative requirements
indicate when and where spark arrestors are required. When
ordered, spark arrestors are required for operation of this
generator in National Forest lands. In California, this generator
must not be used on any forest-covered land, brush-covered
land, or grass-covered land unless the engine is equipped with
a spark arrestor.

position.
2. Press down on the fuel light until you hear a click and the
light pops up.
3. Remove the screw as shown below and pull the light away
from the base while supporting the battery so it does not
hang freely and put tension on the battery connector wires.
