Filling the Fuel Tank – Follow the steps below
to fill the fuel tank:
1. Check that the engine power switch is in its
“OFF” position.
2. Before the first use, remove the fuel
tank cap and fill the fuel tank with unleaded
gasoline. When fueling, be sure that the
fuel strainer is in place. Replace the fuel
tank cap. Thereafter, check the engine’s
fuel gauge for the amount of unleaded
gasoline in the fuel tank. If necessary,
refill the fuel tank with unleaded gasoline;
the generator must be turned off and
cooled down before refilling the fuel tank.

with soapy water. Anywhere that bubbles appear or

at a fitting then turn off the tank valve and tighten the
fitting. Turn the gas back on and recheck with soapy
water again. If the leak continues or if the leak is not at
a fitting then do not use the generator and contact
customer service.
