2.
Pour fresh, clean regular automotive grade unleaded fuel with a minimum
octane rating of 85 into fuel tank. Do NOT mix fuel with oil. Fuel must have
ethanol blend of 15% or less. Pay close attention to the storage requirements of
these fuels. Do NOT overfill fuel tank. Fill level should not be higher than the
bottom of the fuel filler neck.

CAUTION:
Alcohol-‐blended fuels (gasohol, ethanol, or methanol) will attract moisture,
which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage
the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel
system should be treated with a fuel stabilizer or drained if the generator will not be
started for 30 days. If using a fuel stabilizer, follow the manufactures recommended
instructions for use. Always use stabilizer with a full tank of gasoline. Always drain old
fuel and use fresh fuel before next use. If you do not use a fuel stabilizer the fuel system
must be drained and cleaned. Drain the fuel tank and start the engine and allow it to
run until all fuel lines and carburetor are drained of fuel. Before restarting the
carburetor. Float bowl must be removed and cleaned of any debris.
NEVER
use chemical solvents or cleaners in the fuel tank for damage may occur.
