• DO NOT mix oil in fuel or modify engine to run on alternate fuels.
To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix in a
fuel stabilizer when adding fuel. See Storage. All fuel is
not the same. If you experience starting or performance
problems after using fuel, switch to a different fuel
provider or change brands. This engine is certified to
operate on gasoline. The emission control system for this
engine is EM (Engine Modifications).
WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive which
could cause burns, fire or explosion
resulting in death or serious injury.
WHEN ADDING FUEL
• Turn generator engine OFF and let it cool at least 2
minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to
relieve pressure in tank.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors.
• DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
heat, and other ignition sources.
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap and fittings frequently for
cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
1. Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
2. Slowly add unleaded fuel to red fuel level indicator (A)
in fuel tank. Be careful not to fill above the indicator.
