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

•Fill fuel tank outdoors.

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

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

•DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

1.Use clean, fresh, regular UNLEADED fuel with a minimum of 85 octane with equipment. DO NOT use fuel which contains Methanol. DO NOT mix oil with fuel.

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

3.Slowly add regular unleaded fuel to fuel tank. Be careful not to fill above the baffle.This allows adequate space for fuel expansion (Figure 2).

Add Engine Oil

• Place generator on a level surface.

CAUTION

Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly filled with the recommended oil will result in equipment failure.

•Refer to engine manual for oil fill information.
