Add fuel: Gasoline
DANGER
Gasoline vapors are highly flammable and extremely explosive.
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes. Fire or explosion can cause
severe burns or death.
Only fill or drain fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator. Use an
approved container to transfer the fuel to the generator.
Never use a gasoline container, gasoline tank, or any other fuel
item that is broken, cut, torn or damaged.
DO NOT overfill the gasoline tank. Always keep fuel away from
sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of
ignition.
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
octane rating of 87 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by
volume.
y b c
DO NOT mix oil with gasoline.
1. Remove the gasoline cap.
2. Slowly add gasoline to the tank. Tank is full when gasoline
reaches red circle on screen. DO NOT OVERFILL. Gasoline can
expand after filling. A minimum of ¼ in. (6.4 mm) of space left
in the tank is required for gasoline expansion, although more
than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) is recommended. Gasoline can be forced
out of the tank as a result of expansion if overfilled, and can
affect the stable running condition of the generator.
3. The approximate fuel level is shown on the fuel gauge on top
of the fuel tank.

4. Screw on the gasoline cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.
cAUTiON
Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87
and an ethanol content of 10% or less by volume.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the tank.
DO NOT mix oil and gasoline.
DO NOT overfill the tank. Fill tank to approximately ¼ in.
(6.4 mm) below the top of the tank to allow for gasoline
expansion.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator at the pump.
Use an approved fuel container to transfer the gasoline to the
generator.
DO NOT fill tank indoors.
DO NOT fill tank when the engine is running or hot.
WARNiNG
Pouring gasoline too fast through the fuel screen may result
in gasoline splashing over the generator and operator while
filling.
NOTicE
The generator engine works well with 10% or less ethanol
blended gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline blends there
are some issues worth noting:
–
Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than
gasoline alone.
–
These ethanol blends can eventually separate, leaving
water or a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and
carburetor. The compromised gasoline can be drawn into
the carburetor and cause damage to the engine and/or
create potential hazards.
–
If a fuel stabilizer is used, confirm that it is formulated to
work with ethanol-gasoline blends.
–
Any damages or hazards caused by using ethanol blended
gasoline higher than 10% by volume, improperly stored
gasoline, and/or improperly formulated stabilizers, are not
covered by manufacturer’s warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the gasoline supply and
run the engine to starvation after each use. See Storage
instructions for extended non-use.
