Engine Fuel Engine Fuel 15. Reinstall the oil fill cap until fully tightened, center the choke, and attach the back maintenance cover. Engine Fuel Before each use, fill the fuel tank with recommended fuel. DO NOT OVERFILL. DANGER Fuel and fuel vapors are extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions. FIGURE 28: Oil Fill Cap Installation NOTE: Dispose of used motor oil according to guidelines established by your local or state government. • Refuel the generator only outdoors, in a well-ventilated area. • NEVER fill the fuel tank while engine is running. Turn generator OFF and allow to cool before filling with fuel. • NEVER smoke or allow flames or sparks near generator or where gasoline is stored. • NEVER overfill the fuel tank (no fuel should be in filler neck). After refueling, be sure the fuel 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, be sure the area is dry before starting engine. • Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing vapor. • Avoid body contact with any fuels, oil, and lubricants used in the generator. If swallowed, seek medical treatment immediately. Do not induce vomiting if fuel is swallowed. For skin contact, wash with soap and water immediately. For eye contact, immediately flush eyes with clean water and seek medical attention. General Fuel Information Refill the fuel tank carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill above the shoulder of the fuel strainer. Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 87 or higher. Never use stale or contaminated gasoline. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank. Always keep fuel strainer in place while refueling. Oxygenated Fuels At certain times of the year, some U.S. locations may have only oxygenated fuel available. Oxygenated fuel is blended with alcohol or other additives to increase octane quality, enhance combustion, and reduce exhaust emissions. Some areas of the United States use oxygenated fuels to help meet clean air standards. Before using an oxygenated fuel, ensure pump octane rating is 87 or higher. Some states (and provinces in Canada) require this information to be posted on the fuel pump. If you notice undesirable operating symptoms, switch to a conventional unleaded gasoline. NOTICE Oxygenated fuels can damage paint and plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when filling the fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel is not covered under warranty.
