additives. Select the oil's viscosity grade according to the
expected operating temperature. See Figure 3-7.

Place generator on a level surface (not to exceed
1.
15° in any direction).
Clean area around oil fill plug/dipstick.
2.

6.
verify that the oil level is near the H(igh) mark.
NOTE: The hash mark closest to the fill plug is the
H(igh) mark.
Slowly add the recommended type of oil until the
7.
level is near the H(igh) mark on the dipstick. If nec-
essary, stop adding oil to check the engine oil level.

3.6.2— Add Gasoline
$
Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel
tank when engine is running or hot. Do not
spill gasoline on a hot engine. Allow engine
to cool before filling fuel tank.
$
Do not overfill fuel tank. Always leave room
for fuel expansion. If fuel tank is overfilled,
fuel can overflow onto a hot engine causing
FIRE or EXPLOSION. Wipe up any spilled fuel
immediately.
$
Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its
vapors are EXPLOSIVE. Never permit smok-
ing, open flames, sparks or heat in the vicin-
ity while handling gasoline.
Add only regular UNLEADED gasoline to fuel tank.
1.
Do not use gasoline with more than 10% added
ethanol. Do not use E85 gasoline. Do not mix oil
with gasoline.
Clean area around fuel fill cap before removal.
2.
Slowly add gasoline to fuel tank to avoid overfilling.
3.
See Figure 3-9.
NOTE: For fuel tank capacity, see Subsection 6.2 —
Engine Specifications.
Install fuel fill cap and finger tighten.
4.
Wipe up any spilled gasoline.
