It is only necessary to use one Fuel Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do not spill gasoline on a hot engine. Allow engine to cool before filling fuel tank. Do not overfill fuel tank. Always leave room for fuel expansion. If fuel tank is overfilled, fuel can overflow onto a hot engine causing FIRE or EXPLOSION. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi- ately. Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors are EXPLOSIVE. Never permit smoking, open flames, sparks or heat in the vicin- ity while handling gasoline. Fuel requirements are as follows: • Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline. • Minimum rating of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). • Up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) is acceptable (where avail- able; non-ethanol premium fuel is recommended). • DO NOT use E85. • DO NOT use a gas oil mix. • DO NOT modify engine to run on alternate fuels. Stabilize fuel prior to storage. 1. Verify unit is OFF and cooled for a minimum of two minutes prior to fueling. 2. Place unit on level ground in a well ventilated area. 3. Clean area around fuel cap and remove cap slowly. 4. Slowly add recommended fuel (A). Do not fill above lip (B). 5. Install fuel cap. 000400 NOTICE: Allow spilled fuel to evaporate before starting unit. IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel hose or tank during storage. Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can 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 emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. See the Storage section. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank as permanent damage may occur. Starting Pull Start Engines CAUTION Equipment and property damage. Disconnect electrical loads prior to start- ing or stopping unit. Failure to do so could result in equipment and property damage. 1. Unplug all electrical loads from the unit's receptacles before starting engine. 2. Place generator on a level surface. 3. Open the fuel shut-off valve (A). ON A OFF 000208 4. Turn engine Run/Stop switch (B) to Run (manual start only). 14 Instruction Manual for Portable Generator

5.
Add recommended engine oil as necessary.
6.
Replace oil fill cap and hand-tighten.
Some units have more than one oil fill
location. It is only necessary to use one
oil fill point.
Fuel
Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill
fuel tank when engine is running or
hot. Do not spill gasoline on a hot engine. Allow engine to
cool before filling fuel tank.
Do not overfill fuel tank. Always leave
room for fuel expansion. If fuel tank is
overfilled, fuel can overflow onto a hot engine causing
FIRE or EXPLOSION. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately.
Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and
its vapors are EXPLOSIVE. Never
permit smoking, open flames, sparks or heat in the vicin-
ity while handling gasoline.
Fuel requirements are as follows:
•
Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
•
Minimum rating of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON).
•
Up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) is acceptable (where avail-
able; non-ethanol premium fuel is recommended).
•
DO NOT use E85.
•
DO NOT use a gas oil mix.
•
DO NOT modify engine to run on alternate fuels. Stabilize
fuel prior to storage.
1.
Verify unit is OFF and cooled for a minimum of two minutes
prior to fueling.
2.
Place unit on level ground in a well ventilated area.
3.

IMPORTANT:
It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in fuel system parts such as the carburetor,
fuel hose or tank during storage. Alcohol-blended fuels
(called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract mois-
ture, 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 emptied before storage of 30
days or longer. See the
Storage
section. Never use
engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank as
permanent damage may occur.
