BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

Add Fuel

NOTE: This gasoline engine is certified to operate on

gasoline. Exhaust Emission Control System: EM (Engine Modifications).

Engine Oil

This engine is shipped from the factory filled with the recommended oil (API SJ or higher SAE 30). Before starting the engine, check oil level and ensure that engine is serviced as described in the engine operator’s manual.

CAUTION

Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly filled with the recommended oil will result in equipment failure.

•Refer to engine operator’s manual for oil fill information.

•Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this instruction will void warranty.

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.

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

•DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

Oil Considerations

Your generator is equipped with an engine that has been pre-run at the factory and does not require the traditional “break-in” procedure.

NOTE: The generator assembly rotates on a prelubricated and sealed ball bearing that requires no additional lubrication for the life of the bearing.

1.Use clean, fresh, regular UNLEADED gasoline with a minimum of 85 octane. DO NOT use fuel which contains Methanol. DO NOT mix oil with fuel.

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

3.Slowly add regular unleaded fuel to fuel tank. Be careful not to overfill. Allow about 2.25" of tank space for fuel expansion (Figure 3).

WARNING

Fill tank to approximately 2.25” below top of neck to allow for fuel expansion.

•Replace “1.5” with “2.25” fuel fill level given in engine manual.

•Failure to follow this instruction may cause fuel to overexpand and spill from tank.

4.Install fuel cap and wait for any spilled fuel to evaporate.
