Operation
Step 2: Oil and Fuel
1. Move generator outdoors to a flat, level surface.
2. Turn dial and open cover over oil fill area.
Oil Fill Cap
3. Clean area around oil fill and remove oil fill cap.
4. Using an oil funnel, slowly pour contents of oil bottle
into oil fill opening. Checking oil level frequently, fill to
point of overflowing.
NOTICE Pause to permit oil to settle. DO NOT overfill.
5. Replace and fully tighten oil fill cap.
6. Replace cover over oil fill area.
Low Oil Indicator
The low oil indicator system is designed to prevent engine
damage caused by not enough engine oil. If the engine
oil level drops below a preset level, the yellow LED low
oil indicator light comes on and an oil switch will stop
the engine. If the engine stops or the yellow LED low oil
indicator light comes on when you pull the recoil handle,
check the engine oil level.
Fuel must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded fuel with a minimum of 87 octane.
• Gasoline with an ethanol content up to 10% is acceptable.
E10 E15
NOTICE Do not mix oil in fuel or modify engine to run on
alternate fuels. Use of unapproved fuels could damage
engine and will not be covered under warranty.
See High Altitude for 5,000 ft. and above.

WARNING! Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable which could cause burns or fire
resulting in death or serious injury.
• Do not refuel during operation.
• Do not smoke during refueling.
• Turn engine off and let it cool at least 2 minutes before
removing fuel cap.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors. 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.
7. Slowly remove fuel cap to relieve pressure in tank.
8. Slowly add unleaded fuel to max fill indicator in fuel tank.
Be careful not to fill above the indicator. This allows
adequate space for fuel expansion.

9. Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate
before starting engine.
High Altitude
At altitudes over 5,000 ft. (1524 m), a minimum 85 octane
fuel 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 Briggs & Stratton dealer for high altitude
adjustment information. Operation of the engine at altitudes below
2,500 ft. (762 m) with the high altitude kit is not recommended.
Transporting
When transporting equipment, turn starting dial to off
position. Do not tip engine or equipment at an angle which
causes fuel to spill.
