3.2 Check the fuel level
Use automotive unleaded regular gasoline only.
1.
If the fuel level is low, refill to the bottom of the filler neck.
2.
Never use an oil/gasoline mixture or dirty gasoline.
3.
Avoid getting dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank.
4.
After refueling, tighten the fuel filler cap securely.
It is recommended that you use a fuel stabilizer, such as STA-BIL®, to help prevent fuel
oxidation (breakdown) and the formation of gum and varnish, and to inhibit corrosion in
the fuel system and carburetor.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Keep all smoking materials,
sparks, and any other source of combustion away from the generator during refueling.
Do not overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel above the top of the fuel strainer).
After refueling, make sure the tank cap is closed properly and securely.
Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel
is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine.
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor. KEEP OUT OF
REACH OF CHILDREN.
Fuel tank capacity: 0.37 gal (1.4 liters)
Gasoline containing alternate fuels
Do not use a blend that contains more than 10% ethanol. Do not use gasoline containing methanol. An octane
rating of 87 or higher is recommended.
Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from the use of fuels that
contain an improper alcohol blend, or by adding oil to the fuel, are
not
covered under
warranty.
Before buying fuel from an unfamiliar station, determine if the fuel contains ethanol and if
it does, confirm the type and percentage of ethanol used. If you notice any undesirable
operating symptoms while using a gasoline that contains ethanol, or one that you think
contains ethanol, replace it with a gasoline that you know has the proper blend.
