2.7BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR

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

2.7.1 ADDING ENGINE OIL

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.

SAE 30

1 0 W - 3 0

Synthetic 5W - 30

Place generator on a level surface.

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

Wipe dipstick clean.

Slowly fill engine with oil through the oil fill opening until it reaches the full mark. Stop filling occasionally to check oil level. (Engine oil is full when level is up to the threads of the oil fill plug.) Do not overfill.

Install oil fill cap and finger tighten securely.

Check engine oil level before starting each time thereafter.

2.7.2 ADDING GASOLINE

Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Allow unit/engine to cool entirely before adding fuel. DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke when filling the fuel tank.

Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always leave room for fuel expansion.

To reduce lead and carbon deposits use high quality UNLEADED gasoline with the generator engine. Leaded REGULAR grade gasoline is an acceptable substitute. Do not use premium gasoline. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.

Slowly add unleaded regular gasoline to fuel tank. Be careful not to overfill. Allow about 1/2" of tank space for fuel expansion, as shown in Figure 15.

Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.

Figure 15 - Fuel Tank

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.
