5.Install e-ring with pliers, squeezing from top of e-ring to bottom of axle.

6.Repeat steps 4 and 5 to secure second wheel.

7.Tip generator so that engine side is down.

8.Line up holes in support leg (E) with holes in generator frame.

9.Attach support leg using 2 capscrews (M8 x 16 mm) (F) and 2 hex nuts (G). Tighten with a 13 mm socket wrench and 13 mm wrench.

10.Return generator to normal operating position (resting on wheels and support leg).

Verify Engine Oil Level

The generator engine is shipped from the factory filled with oil (API SJ or higher 10W-30). This allows for generator operation in the widest range of temperature and climate conditions. Before starting the engine, check oil level and ensure that engine is serviced as described in Maintenance.

CAUTION

Any attempt to crank or start the engine without verifying it has been properly serviced with the recommended oil will result in equipment failure.

•Refer to Maintenance for oil fill information.

•Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this instruction will void warranty.

NOTE: See Oil in the Maintenance section to review oil recomendations. Verify provided oil in engine is the correct viscosity for current ambient temperature.

Add Fuel

All fuel is not the same. If a starting or performance problem is encountered immediately after new fuel has been used, try another service station or change brands.

NOTE: This engine is certified to operate on gasoline.

Exhaust Emissions Control System: EM (Engine Modifications).

WARNING

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

When adding fuel:

•Turn generator OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.

•Fill or drain fuel tank outdoors.

•DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.

•If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.

•Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.

•DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

Type of Fuel

1.Always use clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON) with equipment. DO NOT mix oil with fuel. DO NOT modify the engine fuel system or carburetor to run on alternative fuels.

NOTE: Fuel with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.

IMPORTANT: Use of any fuel other than those approved above will void warranty. Some areas require that fuel pumps be marked if the fuel contains alcohols or ethers. If you are not sure if your fuel contains alcohol or ethers that are different than those approved above, then check with the service station operator.

2.Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.

3.Slowly add unleaded gasoline (A) to fuel tank (B). Be careful not to overfill. Allow at least 1.5" (38 mm) of tank space (C) for fuel expansion, as shown in Figure 2.

4.Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate before starting engine.

To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be treated with a fuel preserver or emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. To protect the fuel system from gum formation, use Briggs & Stratton FRESH START™ fuel stabilizer plus. If fuel preserver is not used, drain the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage in the Maintenance section for additional information.

NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank as permanent damage may occur.

High-altitude use

Operation at high altitudes (over 5,000 feet [1524 m]), may require a high-altitude carburetor jet kit to improve performance and decrease fuel consumption. See your local authorized Briggs & Stratton dealer for more information.
