Add Engine Oil; Add Fuel - Briggs & Stratton PRO1000G Manual Del Operador

Add Engine Oil
1. Place generator on a flat, level surface.
2. Cleanarea around oil fill and remove yellow oil fill cap.
3. Using oil funnel (optional), slowly pour contents of
both provided oil bottles into oil fill opening to the
"Full" mark on dipstick.
NOTICE
Improper treatment of generator can damage it
and shorten its life.
• DO NOTattempt to crank or start the engine before it has been
properly serviced with the recommended oil. This may result in an
engine failure.
4. Replace oil fill cap and fully tighten.
Add Fuel
Fuel must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). For high
altitude use, see High Altitude.
• Gasolinewith up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to
15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.
_i, WARNING Fueland its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive.
_, _ Fire or explosion can cause severe
burns or death.
WHEN ADDINGFUEL
• Turn generator OFFand 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 spacefor fuel expansion.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporatesbefore starting engine.
• Keepfuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and
other ignition sources.

2.
Cleanarea around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
Slowly add unleaded gasoline (A) to fuel tank (B). Be
careful not to fill abovethe baffle (C). This allows
adequatespace for fuel expansion as shown.
NOTICE Avoid generator damage.
Failureto follow Operator's Manual for fuel
recommendations voids warranty.
• DONOT useunapproved gasoline such asE85.
• DONOT mix oil in gasoline.
• DONOT modifyengine 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).
3. Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate before
starting engine.
High Altitude
At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum
85 octane / 85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is acceptable.To
remain emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is
required. Operation without this adjustment will cause
decreased performance, increased fuel consumption, and
increased emissions. See an authorized dealer for high
altitude adjustment information. Operation of the engine at
altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude
kit is not recommended.
