container, gasoline tank, or any other fuel item that is
broken, cut, torn or damaged.
DANGER
Fire and explosion hazard. Do not overfill fuel tank. Fill
only to the red fill ring located in the in-tank fuel screen
filter. Overfilling may cause fuel to spill onto engine
causing a fire or explosion hazard.
DANGER

NOTICE
E85 E15
Do not use E15 or E85 fuel in this
product. Engine or equipment
damage caused by stale fuel or
the use of unapproved fuels (such
as E15 or E85 ethanol blends) is
not covered by warranty. Only use
unleaded gasoline containing up to
10% ethanol.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
•
CLEAN, FRESH, unleaded gasoline, 87–93 octane.
•
Up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) is acceptable (where
available; non-ethanol fuel is recommended).
•
DO NOT use E85 or E15.
•
DO NOT use a gas oil mix.
•
DO NOT modify the engine to run on alternate fuels.
•
DO NOT fuel indoors.
•
DO NOT create a spark or flame while fueling.
USING FUEL STABILIZER
Adding a fuel stabilizer (not included) extends the usable
life of fuel and helps prevent deposits from forming that
can clog the fuel system. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for use.
Always mix the correct amount of fuel stabilizer to gasoline
in an approved gasoline container before fueling the
generator. Run the generator for five minutes to allow the
stabilizer to treat the entire fuel system.
FILLING THE FUEL TANK
1.
Turn the generator OFF and allow to cool for a minimum
of two minutes before fueling.
2.
Place the generator on level ground in a well ventilated
area.
3.
Clean the area around fuel cap and remove the cap
slowly.
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.
4.
Slowly add the recommended fuel. Do not overfill. Fill
only to the red maximum fill ring on the fuel screen filter
visible in the filler neck.
