Add Engine Oil

• Place generator on a level surface.
• Refer to engine operator's manual and follow oil
recommendations and instructions.
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.
BSPP Generator
NOTE: Check oil often during engine break–in. Refer to
engine operator's manual for recommendations.
NOTE: The alternator assembly rotates on a prelubricated
and sealed ball bearing that requires no additional
lubrication for the life of the bearing.
Add Fuel
NOTE: This gasoline engine is certified to operate on
gasoline. Exhaust Emission Control System: EM (Engine
Modifications).
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.
• 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. Use clean, fresh, regular UNLEADED fuel with a minimum
of 87 octane with equipment. 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 fill above the baffle.This allows adequate space
for fuel expansion (Figure 2).
