Homelite UT902211 manuel dutilisation Using Fuel Stabilizer, Oxygenated Fuels, Starting the Engine

USING FUEL STABILIZER

Fuel gets old, oxidizes, and breaks down over time. 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 fuel stabilizer manufacturer’s directions for correct ratio of stabilizer to fuel.

Add stabilizer to fuel tank, then fill with gasoline following previous instructions.

NOTE:  Fuel stabilizer and gasoline can be mixed prior to filling the tank by using a gas can or other approved fuel container and shaking gently to combine.

Replace and secure the fuel tank cap.

Start and run the engine for at least 5 minutes to allow stabilizer to treat the entire fuel system.

OXYGENATED FUELS

DO NOT USE E85 FUEL. IT WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

NOTE: Fuel system damage or performance problems re- sulting from the use of an oxygenated fuel containing more than the percentages of oxygenates stated below are not covered under warranty.

Ethanol. Gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume (commonly referred to as E10) is acceptable. E85 is not.

CAUTION:

On a level surface with the engine off, check the lubricant level before each use of the generator.

STARTING THE ENGINE

See Figures 10 - 12.

NOTE:  If location of generator is not level, the unit may not start or may shut down during operation.

Unplug all loads from the generator.

Turn the fuel valve to the ON position.

Move the choke lever right to the START position.

NOTE:  If engine is warm or the temperature is above

50˚F, move the choke lever left to the RUN position.

Put the engine switch in the ON ( I ) position.

Pull the recoil starting grip until the engine runs (a maxi- mum of 6 times).

NOTE:  Do not allow the grip to snap back after starting; return it gently to its original place.

Allow the engine to run for 30 seconds, then move the choke lever left to the RUN position.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

See Figures 10 - 12.

To stop the engine under normal operating conditions:

Remove any load from the generator.

Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.

Put the engine switch in the OFF ( O ) position.

To stop the engine in an emergency situation:

Put the engine switch in the OFF ( O ) position.
