ASSEMBLY
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
• CLEAN, FRESH, unleaded gasoline, 87–93 octane.
• Up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) is acceptable (where
available; non-ethanol fuel is recommended).
• DO NOT use E85 or E15.
• DO NOT use a gas oil mix.
• DO NOT modify the engine to run on alternate fuels.
• DO NOT fuel indoors.
• DO NOT create a spark or flame while fueling.
USING FUEL STABILIZER
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 the manufacturer's
instructions for use.
Always mix the correct amount of fuel stabilizer to gasoline
in an approved gasoline container before fueling the
generator. Run the generator for five minutes to allow the
stabilizer to treat the entire fuel system.
FILLING THE FUEL TANK
1. Turn the generator OFF and allow to cool for a minimum
of two minutes before fueling.
2. Place the generator on level ground in a well ventilated
area.
3. Clean area around fuel cap and remove the cap slowly.
Only fill the tank from an approved gasoline container.
Make sure the gasoline container is internally clean and
in good condition to prevent fuel system contamination.
4. Slowly add the recommended fuel. Do not overfill. Fill
only to the red maximum fill ring on the fuel screen filter
visible in the filler neck.
Install the fuel cap and tighten until a click is heard.
Fuel can damage paint and plastic. Use caution when
filling the fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel is not
covered under warranty.
