GASOLINE REQUIREMENTS
NOTICE
Do not use E15 or E85 fuel in this

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% eth-
anol.
l ALWAYS use CLEAN, FRESH, un-
leaded gasoline (87–93 octane) in
this unit. NEVER use OLD, STALE,
or CONTAMINATED gasoline.
l Up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) is acceptable (where avail-
able; non-ethanol fuel is recommended).
l DO NOT use E85 or E15.
l DO NOT use a gas oil mix.

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.
