BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

Add Oil

WARNING! Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly filled with the recommended oil may result in an engine failure.

To fill your engine with oil:

Place generator on a level surface.

Clean area around oil fill and remove oil fill cap.

Select the oil's viscosity grade and fill engine with oil following the instructions given in the engine owner’s manual. Do Not overfill!

Install oil fill cap.

NOTE: The generator’s revolving field rides on a pre- lubricated and sealed ball bearing that requires no additional lubrication for the life of the bearing.

Add Gasoline

DANGER! Explosion Hazard! Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do Not light a cigarette or smoke when filling the fuel tank.

WARNING! Do Not overfill the fuel tank. Always allow room for fuel expansion.

Use regular UNLEADED gasoline with the Generator engine. Do Not use premium gasoline. Do Not mix oil with gasoline.

Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.

Add unleaded regular gasoline, slowly to fuel tank. Be careful not to overfill. Allow about 1/2" of tank space for fuel expansion (Figure 3).

Figure 3 — Fill Tank with Fuel

• Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.

To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. See “Storage” on page 11. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
