Step 2: Oil and Fuel
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 or move 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.
1. Move generator outdoors to a flat, level surface.
2. Loosen the three maintenance cover screws and
remove the side maintenance cover.
3. Clean area around oil fill and remove dipstick.
4. Using oil funnel, slowly pour oil into oil fill opening.
5. Checking oil level frequently, fill to full mark (top hole)
on dipstick.
NOTICE Pause to permit oil to settle. Wipe dipstick clean
each time oil level is checked. DO NOT overfill.
6. Replace and fully tighten dipstick.
7. Replace the maintenance cover and hand tighten the
three maintenance cover screws.
8. Slowly remove fuel cap to relieve pressure in tank.
9. Slowly add unleaded fuel to fuel tank. Be careful not
to fill above lip. This allows adequate space for fuel
expansion.
10. 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 with a vehicle or trailer,
turn engine switch to off (0) position. Do not tip engine or
equipment at an angle which causes fuel to spill.
NOTICE Do not lift or carry generator by retractable
handle. Handholds provided for convenient lifting.
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 red LED low oil
indicator light comes on and an oil level switch will stop the
Full
engine. If the engine stops or the red LED low oil indicator
light comes on when you pull the recoil handle, check the
Add
engine oil level.
