INITIAL USE INSTRUCTIONS
2. Fuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill the fuel tank above the
upper level mark (red) on the fuel strainer.
When fueling an empty fuel tank, fill the tank up to the upper level
mark. The generator will not start if there is not enough fuel in the
tank.
Fuel can damage paint and plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when
filling your fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel is not covered
under warranty.
3. After refueling, tighten the fuel filler cap securely until it clicks. Keep
the fuel filler cap vent lever OFF for storage or transport, and ON to
run the generator.
Move the generator at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from the fueling
source and site before starting the engine.
After initial fueling (or anytime the generator is run completely out of
fuel), starting the engine may require additional pulls of the starter grip.
This generator utilizes a vacuum operated fuel pump and may require
additional pulls to draw fuel into the carburetor.
