Step 2 - Add Gasoline

Gasoline and gasoline fumes are highly flammable and explosive. Handling fuel can result in serious injury or burns.

Do not fill the fuel tank near a heat, sparks or an open flame. Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot lights, barbecues, electric appliances, power tools, etc.

Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always check for fuel spills and immediately wipe them up. Spilled fuel is a fire hazard and causes environmental damage.

To add gasoline:

To ensure that this generator runs smoothly, use only FRESH, UNLEADED GASOLINE WITH AN OCTANE RATING OF 87 OR HIGHER. Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends the life of the exhaust system.

1.Confirm that this generator is on a level surface.

2.Unscrew fuel tank cap and set aside. (NOTE: The fuel tank cap may be tight and difficult to unscrew.)

3.Slowly add fresh, unleaded gasoline (with an octane rating 87 or higher) to the fuel tank. Be careful not to fill the fuel tank above the upper limit line. The fuel tank capacity for this ACDelco Model AC-G0004 5500 Surge Watts / 5000 Running Watts Electric Start Portable Generator is 6.5 gallons (24.6 L). The fuel gauge, located on the top of this generator, indicates how much gasoline is currently in the fuel tank. NOTE: Because gasoline can expand, do not fill the fuel tank to the very top.

4.Securely tighten the fuel tank cap and immediately wipe up any spilled gasoline with a dry cloth.

Avoid getting dirt and/or water in the fuel tank.

Gasoline can age in the fuel tank and make it difficult to start this generator. Never store this generator for extended time with gasoline in the fuel tank.
