NOTE: Non-detergent or 2-stroke engine lubricants will
damage the engine and should not be used.
Loosen the screws at the side of the engine cover.
Remove cover and set aside.
Unscrew the oil cap/dipstick and remove.
Wipe dipstick clean and re-seat in hole; do not re-thread.
Remove dipstick again and check lubricant level.
Lubricant level should fall between the minimum and
maximum marks on the dipstick.
If level is low, add engine lubricant until the fluid level
rises between the minimum and maximum marks on the
dipstick.
Replace and secure the oil cap/dipstick.
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.
OPERATION
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.
Remove the fuel cap.
Fill the fuel tank to 1 in. below the top of the fuel neck.
Replace and secure the fuel cap.
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 oil/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.
NOTICE:
Do not place the generator directly on the ground when
using the unit in grassy areas or in areas with dense
vegetation. Doing so could result in grass discoloration
and/or localized soil damage.
Unplug all loads from the generator.
Place the auto idle switch in the off position.
Slide the engine/choke lever to the start (center) position.
NOTE: When the engine/choke lever is in the start
(center) position, the fuel will flow from the fuel tank to
the engine. If engine is warm, move the engine/choke
lever right to the run (restart) position.
Pull the starter grip and rope 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. Initial starting of the
unit may require additional pulls to prime the fuel pump.
Allow the engine to run for 15-30 seconds, then move
the engine/choke lever right to the run position.
