Prior to operating the generator, engine oil and gasoline will need to be added, as follows:

All oil should meet minimum American Petroleum Institute (API) Service Class SJ, SL or better. Use no special additives. Select the oil's viscosity grade according to the expected operating temperature (also see chart).

•Above 40° F, use SAE 30

• Below 40° F and down to 10° F, use 10W-30

• Below 10° F, use synthetic 5W-30

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 level surface (not to exceed 15° in any direction).

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

3.Slowly fill engine with oil. Stop filling occasionally to check oil level. Oil level is full when level is up to the threads of the oil fill plug.

4.Install oil fill plug and finger tighten securely.

5.Check engine oil level before starting each time thereafter.

Operation

Never fill fuel tank indoors. Avoid spilling gasoline on hot engine. Allow engine to cool entirely before adding fuel. Never fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke when filling the fuel tank. Gasoline is highly flammable and its vapors are explosive.

Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always leave room for fuel expansion. If the fuel tank is overfilled, fuel can over flow onto a hot engine and cause fire or an explosion. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.

1.Use regular UNLEADED gasoline with the generator engine. Do not use premium gasoline. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

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

3.Slowly add unleaded regular gasoline to fuel tank. Fill to bottom of screen filter. Be careful not to overfill (Figure 9).

4.Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel hose or tank during storage. 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 the "Storage" section. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank as permanent damage may occur.
