OPERATION

Remove dipstick again and check lubricant level. Lubri-
cant level should fall between the minimum and maximum
marks on the dipstick.

If level is low, add engine lubricant until the fluid level rises
between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick.

Replace and secure the oil cap/dipstick.

Reinstall cover.
Using Fuel Stabilizer
Fuel gets old, oxidizes, and breaks down over time. 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 fuel stabilizer manufacturer’s directions
for correct ratio of stabilizer to fuel.
 Mix fuel stabilizer and gasoline prior to filling the tank
by using a gas can or other approved fuel container and
shaking gently to combine.
NOTE:
To control the amount of fuel stabilizer being added
to the engine, always mix fuel stabilizer with gasoline before
fueling the tank rather than adding fuel stabilizer directly
into the generator’s fuel tank.

Replace and secure the fuel tank cap.

Start and run the engine for at least 5 minutes to allow
stabilizer to treat the entire fuel system.
Ethanol-Blended Fuels
NOTICE
Do not use E15 or E85 fuel in this product. It is a violation
of federal law and will damage the unit and void your
warranty. Only use unleaded gasoline containing up to
10% ethanol.
Adding Fuel
See Figure 4.
DANGER
Risk of fire and serious burns: Never remove fuel cap
when unit is running. Shut off engine and allow the unit
to cool at least five minutes. Remove cap slowly.
WARNING
Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and
explosive. To prevent serious personal injury and property
damage, handle gasoline with care. Keep away from
ignition sources, handle outdoors only, do not smoke
while adding fuel, and wipe up spills immediately.
When adding gas to the generator, make sure the unit is sitting
on a flat, level surface. If the engine is hot, let the generator
cool for five minutes before adding gas. ALWAYS fill the fuel
tank outdoors with the machine turned off.

Place the on/off/choke dial in the OFF/STORAGE position.
 Remove the fuel cap slowly.

Fill the fuel tank to 1 in. (25.4 mm) below the top of the
fuel neck.

Replace and secure the fuel cap.
WARNING
Always shut off engine before fueling. Never remove
fuel cap or add fuel to a machine with a running or hot
engine. Make sure the unit is sitting on a flat, level surface
and only add fuel outdoors. If the engine is hot, let the
unit cool for at least five minutes before adding fuel.
After fueling, immediately replace fuel cap and tighten
securely. Move at least 30 ft. (9.1 m) from refueling site
before starting engine. Do not smoke and stay away
from open flames and sparks! Failure to follow these
instructions could result in a fire and cause serious
personal injury.
NOTE : Always use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane
rating of 86 or higher. Never use old, stale, or contaminated
gasoline, and do not use an oil/gas mixture. Do not allow dirt
or water into the fuel tank.
Do not use E85 fuel.
Starting the Engine
See Figures 5 - 7.
NOTICE
On a level surface with the engine off, check the lubricant
level before each use of the generator.
NOTE : If location of generator is not level, the unit may not
start or may shut down during operation.
To start generator the first time:

Add engine lubricant per the Operator’s Manual instruc-
tions.

Open the vent on the fuel cap by rotating the fuel cap lever
to the ON position.

Place the on/off/choke dial to the COLD START (CHOKE)
position.

Fill the fuel tank per the Operator’s Manual instructions.
 Pull the recoil starter until the engine starts.

Allow the engine to run for 15-30 seconds, then move the
on/off/choke dial to the RUN/RE-START position.
To start subsequent times:

Unplug all loads from the generator.

Turn the on/off/choke dial to the COLD START position.
NOTE:
When the on/off/choke dial is in the COLD START
(top) position, the fuel will flow from the fuel tank to the
engine. If engine is warm, turn the on/off/choke dial to the
RUN/RE-START (middle) position.

Pull the recoil starter until the engine runs.
NOTE: Do not allow the grip to snap back after starting;
return it gently to its original place. Initial starting of the
unit may require additional pulls.

Allow the engine to run for 15-30 seconds, then move the
on/off/choke dial to the RUN/RE-START position.
