handle brackets.
14. Raise handles and insert handle pins to move
generator.
15. To release brakes,pull up on handle of both clamps
until it locks in the up position.
AddEngineOil
1. Place generatoron a flat, level surface.
2. Cleanarea around oil fill and removeyellow oil fill cap.
NOTE:Seethe section Oilto review oil recommendations.
Verify provided oil bottle is correct viscosity for current
ambient temperature.
3. Using oil funnel (optional), slowly pour contents of
provided oil bottle into oil fill opening.
NOTICE Improper treatment of generator can damage it
and shorten its life.
• DO NOTattempt to crank or start the engine beforeit has been
properly servicedwith the recommended oil. This may result in an
enginefailure.
4. Replaceoil fill cap and fully tighten.
Add Fuel
Fuel mustmeet these requirements:
• Clean,fresh, unleadedgasoline.
• A minimum of 87 octane/87AKI (91 RON).High
altitude use, seeHigh Altitude.
• Gasolinewith up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to
15% MTBE(methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.
NOTICE Avoid generatordamage.
Failureto follow Operator's Manualfor fuel
recommendations voids warranty.
• DONOTuseunapprovedgasolinesuchasE85.
• DONOTmixoil in gasoline.
• DONOTmodifyengineto runonalternatefuels.
_i, WARNING Fueland its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive.
r_,_l_,, _ Fireor explosion can causesevere
burns or death.
WHENADDINGFUEL
• Turn generator OFFand let it cool at least2 minutes before
removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in
tank.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors.
• DONOToverfill tank. Allow spacefor fuel expansion.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporatesbefore starting engine.
• Keepfuel awayfrom sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and
other ignition sources.
• DONOTlight a cigaretteor smoke.
To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix in a fuel
stabilizer when adding fuel. SeeStorage.All fuel is not the
same. If you experiencestarting or performance problems
after using fuel, switch to a different fuel provider or change
brands. This engine is certified to operate on gasoline. The
emission control system for this engine is EM (Engine
Modifications).
1. Cleanarea around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
2. Slowly add unleadedgasoline (A) to fuel tank (B). Be
careful not to fill abovethe baffle (C). This allows
adequatespace for fuel expansion as shown.
3. Install fuel cap and let anyspilled fuel evaporatebefore
starting engine.
HighAltitude
At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum
85 octane/ 85 AKI (89 RON)gasoline is acceptable.To
remainemissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is
required.Operation without this adjustment will cause
decreasedperformance, increasedfuel consumption, and
increasedemissions. Seea Briggs & Stratton Authorized
Dealerfor high altitude adjustment information. Operation of
the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with
the high altitude kit is not recommended.
