oil may result in an engine failure.
To fill your engine with oil:
• Place generator on a level surface.
• Follow the oil grade recommendations and oil fill
instructions given in the engine owner's manual.
NOTE: The generator's revolving field rides on a
prelubricated and sealed ball bearing that requires no
additional lubrication for the life of the bearing.

• Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts, such as the
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also,
experience indicates that alcohol–blended fuels (called
gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which
leads to separation and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic fuel can damage the fuel system of an engine while in
storage.
Be sure to review the precautions given in "Storage" on
page 9. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products
in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
