Add Fuel: Gasoline
DANGER
Gasoline and gasoline vapor are highly flammable
and explosive.Fire or explosion can cause severe
burns or death.
DANGER
Do not overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion. If
fuel spills wait until it evaporates before starting
engine. Failure to do so will result in death and
serious injury.
Fuel must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
• Use regular UNLEADED gasoline with the generator
engine with a minimum 87 octane / 87 AKI (91
RON). Do not use E85 or E15.
For high altitude use, see "Operation at High
Altitude".
• DO NOT mix oil in gasoline.
• DO NOT modify engine to run on alternate fuels.
B
1. Remove the gasoline cap (A) slowly.
2. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to gasoline tank. Be
careful not to fill above the red fuel level indicator
(B). This allows adequate space for fuel expansion.
3. Install gasoline cap and let any spilled fuel
evaporate before starting engine or wipe the spilled
gasoline.

WHEN ADDING GASOLINE
• Only fill the gasoline tank outdoors in a
well-ventilated area.
• DO NOT overfill gasoline tank. Allow space for fuel
expansion.
• If gasoline spills, wipe spilled gasoline from the unit
or wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot
lights, heat, and other ignition sources.
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently
for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
• DO NOT fill the tank when the generator is running
or hot.
• DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator
at the gas station. Use an approved container to
transfer the gasoline to the generator.
NOTICE
• Only fill the tank from an approved gasoline
container. Make sure the gasoline container is
internally clean and in good condition to prevent
fuel system contamination.
• Gasoline can damage paint and plastic. Use
caution when filling the fuel tank. Damage caused
by spilled gasoline is not covered under warranty.
• Clean the fuel screen filter of debris before and
after each fueling. Remove the fuel screen filter by
slightly compressing it while removing it from the
fuel tank.
• 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 "Long Term Storage" section. Never
use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the
fuel tank as permanent damage may occur.
