10,O00W Generator
Operation
Pre-Operation Check
_NOTE
Fuel can damage paint and plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when filing your fuel tank. Damage
caused by spilling fuel is not covered under warranty. Use unleaded gasoline with a pump
octane of 86 or higher. This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Unleaded
gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends exhaust system life,
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in
the fuel tank. Occasionally you may hear a light "Spark knock" or "pinging" (metallic
rapping noise) while operating under heavy loads. This is no cause for concern. If spark knock
or pinging occurs at a steady engine speed, under normal load, change brands of gasoline.
If spark knock or pinging persists, call our service center.
