Pre--‐Operating Instructions: Generator Setup
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
WHEN ADDING FUEL
 Turn generator off and let it cool for a minimum of three minutes before removing fuel cap. Turn and remove cap
slowly in order to relieve residual tank pressure.
 Always fill the fuel tank with the unit outdoors.
 DO NOT overfill tank. Allow room for fuel expansion.
 Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, heat, pilot lights, and other ignition sources.
ADD FUEL:
Refer to Controls and Features section for diagrams.
1.
Clean area around fuel cap, then remove fuel cap.
2.
Pour fresh, clean regular automotive grade unleaded fuel with a minimum octane rating of 85 into
fuel tank. Do NOT mix fuel with oil. Fuel must have ethanol blend of 10% or less. Pay close attention to
the storage requirements of these fuels. Do NOT overfill fuel tank.
3.
Install the fuel cap. Rotate the fuel cap clockwise until it is in its locked position. Wipe away any
spilled fuel.
CAUTION:
Alcohol- - ­ b lended fuels (gasohol, ethanol, or methanol) will 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 treated with a fuel stabilizer or drained if the
generator will not be started for thirty (30) days. If using a fuel stabilizer, follow the manufacturer's
recommended instructions for use.
