Fuel Tank Capacity (gallons)
Fuel Type
Gasoline and gasoline fumes are highly flammable and explosive. Handling fuel can result in serious injury or burns.
• Do not fill the fuel tank near a heat, sparks or an open flame. Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot lights, barbecues, electric appliances, power
tools, etc.
• Always allow several minutes for the engine to cool before refueling.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always check for fuel spills and immediately wipe them up. Spilled fuel is a fire hazard and causes environmental
damage.

• Use only fresh UNLEADED gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher.
• Never use old and/or contaminated gasoline.
• Never use a mixture of oil and gasoline.
• Avoid getting dirt and/or water in the fuel tank.

Step 3 - Ground the Generator

Failure to properly ground this generator can result in electrocution.
Ground this generator by tightening the grounding nut against a grounding wire as previously illustrated in Figure 3. A generally acceptable
grounding wire is a No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire. The other end of this grounding wire should be connected to a
copper or brass grounding rod that is driven into the earth.
Grounding codes can vary by location. Contact a local electrician for information on grounding regulations for your area.
