USING FUEL STAbILIzER
Fuel gets old, oxidizes, and breaks down over time. Adding
a fuel stabilizer (not included) extends the usable life of fuel
and helps prevent deposits from forming that can clog the
fuel system. Follow fuel stabilizer manufacturer's directions
for correct ratio of stabilizer to fuel.
 Mix fuel stabilizer and gasoline prior to filling the tank
by using a gas can or other approved fuel container and
shaking gently to combine.
NOTE: To control the amount of fuel stabilizer being added
to the engine, always mix fuel stabilizer with gasoline
before fueling the tank rather than adding fuel stabilizer
directly into the generator's fuel tank.
 Replace and secure the fuel tank cap.
 Start and run the engine for at least 5 minutes to allow
stabilizer to treat the entire fuel system.

OXyGENATED FUELS

NotiCe:
Do not use E15 or E85 fuel (or fuel containing greater
than 10% ethanol) in this product. It is a violation of
federal law and will damage the unit and void your
warranty.
Fuel system damage or performance problems resulting
from the use of an oxygenated fuel containing more than
the percentage of oxygenates stated below are not covered
under warranty.
Ethanol. Gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume
(commonly referred to as E10) is acceptable. E15 and E85
are not.
CHECKING/ADDING FUEL
See Figure 4.
WARNING:
Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and ex-
plosive. To prevent serious personal injury and property
damage, handle gasoline with care. Keep away from igni-
tion sources, handle outdoors only, do not smoke while
adding fuel, and wipe up spills immediately.
When adding gas to the generator, make sure the unit is
sitting on a flat, level surface. If the engine is hot, let the
generator cool before adding gas. ALWAYS fill the fuel tank
outdoors with the machine turned off.
 Put the engine switch in the OFF position.
 Remove the fuel cap.
 Fill the fuel tank to 1 in. below the top of the fuel neck.
 Replace and secure the fuel cap.
OPERATION
NOTE: Always use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane
rating of 86 or higher. Never use old, stale, or contaminated
gasoline, and do not use an lubricant/gas mixture. Do not
allow dirt or water into the fuel tank. Do not use E85 fuel.
STARTING THE ENGINE
See Figures 5 - 7.
NotiCe:
On a level surface with the engine off, check the lubricant
level before each use of the generator.
NOTE: If location of generator is not level, the unit may not
start or may shut down during operation.
 Unplug all loads from the generator.
 Turn the fuel valve to the ON (I) position.
 Pull the choke out to the START position.
NOTE: If engine is warm or the temperature is above
50˚F, push the choke in to the RUN position.
 Put the engine switch in the ON (I) position.
 Pull the recoil starter grip until the engine runs (a maximum
of 6 times).
NOTE: Do not allow the grip to snap back after starting;
return it gently to its original place.
 Allow the engine to run for 15-30 seconds, then move
the choke to the RUN position.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
See Figure 7.
To stop the engine under normal operating conditions:
 Remove any load from the generator.
 Turn the fuel valve to the OFF (O) position.
 To stop the engine, put the engine switch in the OFF (O)
position.
To stop the engine in an emergency situation:
 Put the engine switch in the OFF (O) position.
WARNING:
While operating and storing, keep at least 3 feet of clear-
ance on all sides of this product, including overhead.
Allow a minimum of 30 minutes of "cool down" time
before storage. Heat created by muffler and exhaust
gases could be hot enough to cause serious burns and/
or ignite combustible objects.
