Cleaning Fuel Strainer Cleaning Fuel Strainer Ethanol (ethyl or grain alcohol) Gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol by volume may cause starting or performance problems. Gasoline containing ethanol may be marketed under the name "Gasohol". Methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) Gasoline containing methanol must contain co-solvents and corrosion inhibitors to protect fuel system. Gasoline containing more than 5% methanol by volume may cause starting and/or performance problems and may damage metal, rubber and plastic parts of fuel system. MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) You can use gasoline containing up to 15% MTBE by volume. TABLE 6. Oxygenated Fuel Types Adding Fuel NOTICE To avoid damage to engine, never use stale or contaminated gasoline or oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in fuel tank. Use fresh gasoline with a pump octane rating of 87 or higher. 1. Stop the generator if the engine is running. Allow to completely cool. 2. Place the generator on a flat, level surface. 3. Remove the fuel cap. 5. Reinstall the fuel cap and fully tighten. NOTE: Occasional, light spark knock, "pinging", or rattling noise is normal while operating under heavy loads. If spark knock, pinging, or rattling occurs at a steady engine speed, under normal load, drain the fuel (page 26) and refill with fresh gasoline. If the noise persists, see an authorized generator dealer. NOTICE Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging can cause engine damage. Warranty does not cover parts damaged by misuse.

Cleaning Fuel Strainer
Adding Fuel
1.
Stop the generator if the engine is running. Allow to
completely cool.
2.
Place the generator on a flat, level surface.
3.
Remove the fuel cap.
4.
Slowly pour gasoline into the fuel tank. Be careful not
to overfill.
5.
Reinstall the fuel cap and fully tighten.
NOTE:
Occasional, light spark knock, "pinging", or rattling noise
is normal while operating under heavy loads. If spark
knock, pinging, or rattling occurs at a steady engine
speed, under normal load, drain the fuel (page 26) and
refill with fresh gasoline. If the noise persists, see an
authorized generator dealer.
Cleaning Fuel Strainer
The fuel strainer helps prevent residue from entering the
carburetor. Clean the fuel strainer at the intervals specified
in Table 3.
To clean fuel strainer:
1.
Stop the generator if the engine is running. Allow to
completely cool.
2.
Place the generator on a flat, level surface.
3.
Remove the fuel cap (A) and fuel strainer (B).
4.
Clean the fuel strainer with soap and water.
5.
Wipe the fuel strainer clean with a clean, dry cloth.
6.
Gently reinstall the fuel strainer and replace the fuel
cap.
Ethanol
(ethyl or grain
alcohol)
Gasoline containing more than 10%
ethanol by volume may cause start-
ing or performance problems. Gaso-
line containing ethanol may be
marketed under the name "Gasohol".
Methanol
(methyl or wood
alcohol)
Gasoline containing methanol must
contain co-solvents and corrosion
inhibitors to protect fuel system. Gas-
oline containing more than 5% meth-
anol by volume may cause starting
and/or performance problems and
may damage metal, rubber and plas-
tic parts of fuel system.
MTBE
(methyl tertiary
butyl ether)
You can use gasoline containing up
to 15% MTBE by volume.
