Section 1 – General Information

Recreational Vehicle Generator

‹ 1.5.5 GENERATOR

The manufacturer does not recommend using any gasoline containing alcohol (such as “gaso- hol”). If using any gasoline containing alcohol, it must not contain more than 10 percent ethanol, and it must be removed from the generator dur- ing storage. Do NOT use any gasoline containing methanol. If using gasoline with alco- hol, inspect more frequently for fuel leaks and other abnormalities.
