PLEASE READ THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Since running out of fuel is usually not a pleasant experience and can be a
big inconvenience, especially on diesels, we recommend keeping the fuel level
above the 1/4 mark on your gauge. The generator will shut down at approxi-
mately the 1/8-1/4 mark to allow the main engine to continue to run until fuel
can be added.
The gauge registers approximately how much fuel is in the tank, but due
to the design of fuel pickup tubes, all fuel in the tank may not be able to be used.
Sometimes on diesel models, when low on fuel, foaming may occur in the
tank and cause air to get in the lines. This may cause erratic engine performance
which would alert you to a low fuel situation.
AGAIN: We recommend keeping the fuel level above the 1/4 mark.

1. Change filters (do not fill filters with diesel).
2. Push knob on, pump in and out.

air is in the system. Continue pumping until it gets hard again.
4. Crank engine and "rev" to about 1500 RPM.
5. If engine does not start after 5-10 seconds, pump again, then crank engine.
