ASSEMBLY

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

1.Use clean, fresh, regular UNLEADED fuel with a minimum of 87 octane. DO NOT use fuel which contains Methanol. DO NOT mix oil with fuel.

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

Add Engine Oil

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

1.Place generator on a flat, level surface.

2.Clean area around oil fill and remove yellow oil fill cap.

3.Using oil funnel (optional), slowly pour contents of both provided oil bottles into oil fill opening to the point of overflowing.

4.Replace oil fill cap and fully tighten.

NOTE: See the section “Oil” on page 17 to review oil recommendations.

Add Fuel

NOTE: This gasoline engine is certified to operate on

gasoline. Exhaust Emission 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 fuel tank outdoors.

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

•Wait for spilled fuel to evaporate before starting engine.

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

•DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

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).

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

CAUTION! 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 treated with a fuel preserver or emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. If adding a fuel preserver, fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel. If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during storage. 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” on page 22 for additional information.

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