3. Push or pull generator to desired location.
4. Place foot on round bar and gently let generator tip
forward to rest on support leg.
5. Pull on spring pin and push handle forward to fold
down handle.
Add Engine Oil
1. Place generator on a flat, level surface.
2. Clean area around oil fill and remove yellow oil fill cap.
NOTE: See the section Oil to review oil recommendations.
Verify provided oil bottle is correct viscosity for current
ambient temperature.
3. Using oil funnel (optional), slowly pour contents of
provided oil bottle into oil fill opening.
NOTIcE
Improper treatment of generator can damage it and
shorten its life.
• DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been
properly serviced with the recommended oil. This may result in
an engine failure.
4. Replace oil fill cap and fully tighten.
Add Fuel
Fuel must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). For high
altitude use, see High Altitude.
• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to
15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.
10
NOTIcE
Avoid generator damage.
Failure to follow Operator's Manual for fuel
recommendations voids warranty.
• DO NOT use unapproved gasoline such as E85.
• DO NOT mix oil in gasoline.
• DO NOT modify engine to run on alternate fuels.
To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix in a fuel
stabilizer when adding fuel. See Storage. All fuel is not the
same. If you experience starting or performance problems after
using fuel, switch to a different fuel provider or change brands.
This engine is certified to operate on gasoline. The emission
control system for this engine is EM (Engine Modifications).
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 minimum 3/4" (2 cm) from top
of strainer to avoid fuel spillage from cap. Space remaining in
tank provides room for fuel expansion and prevents fuel from
spilling out vented fuel cap when generator is wheeled.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and
other ignition sources.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
1. Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
2. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to fuel tank. Be careful
not to overfill. Allow minimum 3/4" (2 cm) (c) from top
of strainer to avoid fuel spillage from cap.
NOTE: Occasionally clear the fuel strainer of any dirt, rust, or
other particulate matter.
3. Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate before
starting engine.
High Altitude
At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum
85 octane / 85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is acceptable. To
remain emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is
required. Operation without this adjustment will cause
decreased performance, increased fuel consumption, and
increased emissions. See an authorized Milwaukee Tool
